Paradise Point Not Well Taken
We were at Paradise Point Resort for a symposium. Driving in everything looked ultra-tropical and lovely. THe front desk seemed okay. We were assigned a room and the gal kept buzzing for the bellman, but alas, we decided to drive to the room ourselves. $14.00 parking charge even though you park your car in front of your room yourself. Whatever.Got to the parking space for our room and then proceeded to wander around looking for the room. Went back to the front desk and said, "hey, we can't find the room". They said, oh it's there, but the key enterance is a sliding glass door. Wierd and again, whatever. Put us in another room please. Well, not too many other choices especially since you've arrived at 9:30 pm. Thanks, but that doesn't make me feel any better.THis time the room we were given wasn't any easier to find. There is a door that marks two room numbers so we used the key and it opened into a tiny hallway that then has two doors for two different rooms. When we opened our door, the smell of mold was pretty over powering.Apparently, the hotel was in a full status and you could tell that they were not able to keep up with the volume. Room service items left for long periods of time even when they were called to pick-up, front desk or operator calls not getting answered after many rings, and bellman on the scare side.There is also a mini-golf course that wanders through the resort. It is near the rooms, so much of the day you will have fairly constant chatter, laughing and activity right outside your door. There is no dial-up internet service available in your room unless you plug in the phone line and go through your own system.Room service food was pretty good, but overall, the resort will be on our list of places we won't want to re-visit. The rate of $275 per night was a joke. If it hadn't been for the meeting being on site, we would have high tailed it out of here.
