We just stayed there for a week and it was terrible! The room had a lovely view but was super basic; the beds were uncomfortable and the room itself was very musty smelling with barely- there air conditioning no matter how cool/ cold we set the temperature. The walls between rooms are super thin and it was very noisy. The food in the buffet restaurants was absolutely terrible! Cold food was warm, hot food items were room-temp. Only good dining was the reservation-only restaurant, the taco bar and the breakfast omelette bar. Overall, the place looked clean but the pools were filthy and the gym had an awful smell. I would not stay here again nor would I recommend to friends.

Too many people. Pool crowded. One beer option. Also, a vendor was cursing out my 90 year old mother on the beach for not buying a dress from him. I called security and they took the side of the vendor who was using horrible language with my mother. outrageous. The hotel staff did nothing when we complained to the front desk. We wont be going back.

My stay at friendly was heaven. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was great. The food was WAY better than I was expecting. I have stomach issues and I felt great during my entire stay. I was able to get a massage on the beach every day (Erika is excellent. Not associated with the hotel) The only issue is we found a tiny field mouse in our room on our last night. Maintenance took care of it quickly but it was jarring.

Was at this property in the past it was way better than it is now the food was all the same no selection. There was barely any entertainment. There really wasn’t much to do. It’s really changed. Everything was the same everyday.

Our group of 8 adults had an awesome vacation at Friendly Fun! The staff were great, the food options were varied and very tasty, and the resort is spacious and clean. We spent a ton of time in the adults-only pool, bar, and beach area, which was relaxing, nicely treed to provide some shade, and staffed with a great team of servers and bartenders. Would absolutely recommend a stay at Friendly Fun!

Nice location by the beach. Easy to talk to the ocean. Some of the restaurants were good, others were not so great. Not enough room at the pool for the number of guests. It was impossible to get a cabana since people would reserve one and be gone for hours.
