The Villas at Simpson Bay Resort

"From checking in to checking out everything was exact ,and like driving in a circle, and smiles along the way make it A+ ,and perfect-quality of resturants were aok and large choices of great food, and pricing was very reasonable-the location made it great for checking out live music , and food choices-not sure what process is used from quality of employees to cleanliness ,and food choices, but don’t change! Hugs ,and thank you sold me on returning, and I will be a living commercial for all of you…."

The Atrium Beach Resort and Spa, an Ascend Collection Resort

8/10 Good

"I really like the location of the hotel. It was walking distance and close to the strip. I liked the staff everyone was so very helpful and nice people. Bell hop was on standby to help bring up your bags. They were able to accommodate my room to an upgrade. This facility to me is an older hotel needs to be renovated and updated. The elevators were super nice but small. The rooms are ok not the best unless you get a beach view balcony. Which we did and it was such a beautiful and amazing view. Very close and walking distance to the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas included in your stay. We had no noise issues quiet during the week. They did not have any breakfast in the lobby which sucks. But overall stay was a 7.5 out of 10."
