I cant wait to come back to The Baywatch Resort in the summer. Even when its iced over, its beautiful. When I checked in, Mikaila was awesome. She took her time...she visited with me. Recommended Bubbas Burgers for supper. Sent me a text to check on me after I went to the room. And I believe it was Michael that later checked to make sure my heat was working because Im from the South and not as tough as they are. It was. I feel like Ive known them for years. Wonder experience.

The resort says it is accessible but I question it on a few fronts.|the tub/shower in our room was very sloped on the inside so hard to step over, also once inside and water turned on very slippery bad enough that my wife slipped and fell. (no floor mat ).|Also we would have liked to get on the beach but unless you can do about 10 steps it is not possible.|Thirdly, there are a couple of accessible parking stalls by the front door but are very narrow and not practical .|I feel that a hotel this new could have done a much better job in the building process.|I will say that the employees were all very kind and polite!!

Complementary water and snacks are just part of the splendor associated with our stay at the Baywatch Hotel. The beds are comfortable and the view of the bay from the balcony was splendid even in winter. The shower had a strong spray with hot water 💧 There is a large workout room on the second floor with a coffee station too! Breakfast is Complementary but somewhat different. There is no dining room. Breakfast is limited to a small menu that is picked from the night before and hung on the room door at whatever time the occupant chooses. I may still have it and if I do I'll post a photo of the menu. Keep in mind to that if you have difficulty with standing in the shower they may have a shower chair and a suction cup bar for the wall that can be asked for and used by anyone needing it. This

AMAZING! The views were awesome. The room was very roomy and nice. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for the granddaughter to run off some of her energy. Breakfast was ok, as you pick from a list and it is brought to your room at the time you choose. It is served to you cold, depending on which breakfast you choose, and you warm it up in the microwave.

Positive: Spacious, lakeview marvelous and quiet. Enjoyed that breakfast was brought to your room. Have everything needed in the room for privacy. Negative: It was odd the soaking tub was in the living room facing the lake, if anyone was walking by, there was no privacy. There are no lights on the deck if you wanted to sit outside and read.
