Verified Reviews of Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel a by The Sea Resort

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Very disappointed in the room, poor condition."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
This place doesn't even deserve a star in the review, we looked at 8 rooms before we found one half decent to stay in, what do the owners do with the money they get from the rooms? It sure isn't on fixing up the rooms or cleaning them, bad bad place to stay!

Great hotel with a great view. There's a lot of great activities to partake in and the best part is they are not far from the hotel. I really like this place. I want to say thank you to the staff for helping me make my stay awesome and one I will never forget.
