Beachfront Location with Water Slide but Less-Than-Average Rooms
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
Located by the beach, the St. Augustine
Beachfront Resort provides convenient
access to miles of white sand as well as
a fishing pier. Downtown St. Augustine,
with its historic attractions and shops,
is just five miles away. Other nearby
places of interest include Anastasia
State Park, San Sebastian Winery, and
St. Augustine World Gulf Village.
The two-story complex offers 144 guest
rooms, most with ocean views. Room
amenities include cable television,
coffeemakers, and hair dryers. Internet
service is available but only dial-up is
offered. The rooms are air-conditioned
but the air conditioners have a musty
smell to them due to inadequate upkeep.
In fact, the rooms as a whole could use
better maintenance and housekeeping.
The hotel facilities fare better than
the rooms. They include 5,200 square
feet of meeting space outfitted with
audio/visual equipment, and a restaurant
with tableside ocean views. The outdoor
pool is popular with kids due to its
116-foot winding water slide.
Overall, the St. Augustine Beachfront
Resort offers a decent location but
better accommodations can be found for
the price.
