Super sad to write this. We had a group of 40 for a family reunion with a total of 14 rooms including 2 of the more expensive bayside bungalows for 3 nights. Needless to say- a lot of money dropped by our group for 3 night stay. While the place is beautiful, we were very disappointed with staff arranging the rooms. We started talking over 8 months in advance and our number 1 priority was the out of state family (12 of the rooms) were put together since spending time together was our primary goal. We signed contracts over 6 months ahead of time and talked and emailed no less than 10 times including the day of check in and were told we would all be close together. We were booked in 4 different locations all being greatly separated in distance. Each person requested being close to the “family reunion” and were given different reasons why this couldn’t happen. Disappointing to say the least. I will say that I have stayed her before just as a family (1room) and everything was great. I just can’t recommend this place when staying in a big group if your goal is being together. The biggest disappointment is how the reservation manager has not responded to my email still to this date after I expressed disappointment in our family members being so distanced including our 90 year old aunt who had to make the longer walk. (Resort did offer ride service for her when we explained the issue but waits were a bit long at times) Only problem with the room was our pull out sofa first night when we opened had food in it from previous guests. Housekeeping came quickly when called and changed sheets. .

Room was very clean, we stayed in cove bungalow, quiet beach steps from the door, parking at the room. Living room with kitchenette was perfect for storing baby food. They supplied pack and play for baby. Towel service was quick when we needed more. Room service for every dinner was delivered hot and in less than 40 minutes. Pools were clean and not overwhelmingly busy. Plenty of vegetarian options. Once you check in you never have to leave the resort.

Let me tell you about my experience visiting this place for the first and probably the last time. 1. Stay - rooms (individual bungalows) are just okay which you find at any $100 hotel. With coffee machine that sucks. There are no great views for the price. 2. Amenities - Don’t get lured by the name / photos on the website. This place is huge with basically nothing other than few. Swimming pools which you find at your backyard, SPA (3/10) and firepits ( which is good for families). 3. Charges - They are robbing for the additional charges you pay for parking ($40) a day, Resort occupancy Tax ($35/ day), and few others. 4. Restaurants - the food options are so less and the sitting area is too small. Overall, This place is not worth the money you pay for a resort. Better spend few more bucks for a high end luxury somewhere else. This is just an average Joe who tries to look cool.

My wife Sheena Rash and I stayed room 732 2/13-15 2022. OMG! I cannot say enough! So cozy, homey, and quaint. Very relaxing. Pool and hot tub very nice and not busy since they have so many. We have been to many places including the Caribbean and Australia and this was absolutely our favorite place we have been. It truly is a paradise and everything they advertise is absolutely on point and true!!! Absolutely loved our stay!!! Thank you so much.

Are you pet friendly

Jessica Rodriquez | Aug 18, 2018
Brent Sherman | Aug 18, 2018

Yes. Paradise Point prides itself in being a pet-friendly resort, featuring expansive grounds, ground-floor bungalows and waterfront restaurants that welcome four-legged guests. Even though pets are allowed on the sandy shores and water, they must be on a leash or in a carrier anytime they are outside of the room.

Are small dogs allowed?

carolyn talbott | Jun 18, 2022
Victor Buller | Jul 18, 2022

I have seen other guests with dogs, so probably. But confirm they don't have additional cost for that. There is a $36 per day "resort fee" plus tax and an additional $40 per day to par a car. It would not be surprising if it was another $20 to $40 for bringing a dog.
