Sundial Beach Resort offers an incredible family experience with spacious condos, wonderful beach access, and friendly service. The amenities are plentiful, and the dining options were quite good, but there were a few hiccups with poolside service and beach chair availability. Moreover, we had some issues with those pesky no-see-ums, so be sure to bring repellant.

My stay at Sundial was a mix of highs and lows. On the plus side, the location is absolutely fantastic, right on the beach, and the amenities available are quite enjoyable. The rooms are clean and have everything a family might need, but the service experience was not up to par this time around. Overall, it's a beautiful place but be cautious about room assignments and service levels during peak times.

I had a great experience at this resort, which is really more like a small village with multiple buildings than a traditional hotel. The rooms were spacious and meticulously clean, plus the pool area offered a relaxed vibe which was perfect for our family. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement, and it can be a bit quiet around the resort if you're looking for nightlife. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with direct beach access and plenty of activities for the kids!
