Lock in a great price for Casa Ybel Resort – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location was good and the rooms were very large and clean. The view from our room was good and from one of my other friend's rooms, but some of the rooms views weren't as good, especially some on the first floor. The beaches were nice and the staff were very attentive and friendly. We were there for a wedding (at the hotel), and they overall did a great job, the wedding was beautiful and fun. They also did not get mad at you for BYOB & music to the pool/beach, which was nice.

Corey, United States of America

Our tv in bedroom only worked half the time, was disappointing after long day wanted to lay in bed and watch tv, disappointing

Eva, United States of America

Very nice resort but overpriced. Would certainly not return in season

Gregory, United States of America

The resort is beautiful with a screened in porch to enjoy views of the beach. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Room service and house keeping were very prompt. The bed was very comfortable.

“Overall, fine, but wouldn't rush back.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • One-Bedroom Gulf Front Suite
- • Stayed 2 nights
I thought the cost overall for what we got wasn't great, the beds were somewhat hard, the rooms were not very sound proof (thankfully the wedding guests were all in the same building), and I didn't like that the bedrooms had no water view and were dark. I feel like the cost of the room, it should have been a bit more luxury, instead it was just big. The resort food left a lot to be desired, even for the wedding. The servers/staff were great, but the food was not. I also didn't like that you had to keep track of your beach/pool towels. It allowed for other guests to just throw their towels on the pool chairs to "claim them" for the day, and to never return all day, so there was a huge lack of seating, and they ran out of towels all day on Sunday. The no-seeums at the beach were insufferable in the evening, and they did not sell deet bug spray so days later and I am still covered in itchy bites.

“CasaYbel is a very relaxing resort.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • One-Bedroom Gulf Front Suite
- • Stayed 4 nights
It would have been nice to have an elevator to haul luggage up to the 3rd floor. The T.V.s are small for the large sized bedroom and den. The bedroom windows have shutters but blackout curtains would be better suited to keep the porch light out all night. Five days prior to our trip, I found the rate $22 per night cheaper. I emailed Booking.com with a screen print of the room, dates & rate but they would not honor it. This was a decision from Booking.com not CasaYbel.
The resort is beautiful with a screened in porch to enjoy views of the beach. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Room service and house keeping were very prompt. The bed was very comfortable.

Okay

Dated furniture in the apartments. The most disappointing part was finding 3 Roaches in our last night there, 2 behind the headboard of our bed at 10:30 PM, called the front desk and got the answer that this is Florida, it's "normal". Sorry, I leave in Florida and don't have roaches inside my house. In the end I had to move to another hotel around midnight with my two kids (5 and 9 years old). I believe it was a isolated case. But anyway, would not go back to confirm. Sorry
The staff of the Pool Bar were great. The concept of the hotel is a great idea.

I think it need a litter more illumination at night, the pool is perfect at that time but it is dark around so you can't see that much , the rest is perfect.
Amazing place to enjoy with the family.

“To be avoided ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • One-Bedroom Gulf Front Suite
- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Traveled from Europe with small children only to be given a condo which wouldn’t get 2 stars.. Dated, filthy carpeting and couch, paint peeling off chairs, intensely smelling of bleach, wrinkled sheets on old beds. After addressing this with the manager, we were told this condo wasn’t ready and we were given a compromise. As we made a reservation well in advance, why was a condo that wasn’t ready ever assigned to a guest? We looked forward to this vacation for a long time, traveled a long way and feel that nothing was ever really reserved or set up for us. Trying to make it work, we stayed 3 nights - left 2 days early. Upon entry into the 2nd we found a plunger and a toilet brush greeting us in the master bathroom, there were multiple cockroaches, smell of raw sewage out of shower drains, toilets and even kitchen sink. The water smelled disgusting and the whole place was nauseating. We tried speaking to the manager but she wasn’t at the office. Upon leaving we called and left multiple messages but she never called us back. We were charged full price for the miserable 3 nights of absolute disappointment in this resort.

The greeting upon arrival and leaving. The ladies at the front desk were not friendly at all and acted like everyone has been to the place and knew everything. If not for the flyer we wouldn’t of known a thing about property! A smile and welcome goes along ways. We had one roll of toilet paper- ran out in middle night and I had to go to car to get tissue. More than likely a over site, since the maid was great other than that. The bed was not comfortable and could be upgraded. Something ate us alive in the bed the first night. Once sheets were changed all seamed good.
The Restaurant and Beach area were awesome

Went to front desk Tuesday morning to let them know about the two sink faucets and tub. We left Thursday morning all three of these were still not fixed. And our keys to the room were shut off at around 10:15 am. Checkout was at 11:00am. Other was a great stay.
