“Not the Greatest!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed at Forest Dunes for New Years Eve weekend. Not very impressed. The rooms seemed nice until you looked at everything closer and well, everything was pretty much old and rusty. I didn't want to ruin our weekend by complaining to get a new room because it would have most likely been the same as our room. The next day we woke up at 8am due to loud construction noise at the building, pretty inconvenient. On top of the room looking the way it did, we left the privacy sign on the door when we left for the day and when we returned, housekeeping had come in, they didn't take our old towels, but just put new ones and fixed the bed really sloppy. When we checked out, I had asked the front desk if they were supposed to do that and she said no. When I had explained that they had went in there, all she said was that she would talk to housekeeping. Not impressed!!!

Room Tip: Do not choose this hotel!

ForestDunesMOD, Manager at Forest Dunes Resort, responded to this review
27 January 2012
Thank you for your comments pertaining to your recent stay at Forest Dunes Resort. We wish we were perfect, but based on your comments it looks like we let you down. Please be assured that we strive to treat every guest the way we would like to be treated ourselves. We were surprised to read your comments, as these are not typical of Forest Dunes Resort. We wish you had brought this to the attention of a manager while you were here. We are not aware of any condos on our rental program that contain old and rusty furnishings. If we missed something like this, that condo would have been taken out of service until the necessary upgrades were performed. You would have been offered a move to acceptable accommodations and we would have made every effort to assist you with the move and make up for the inconvenience of moving. Pertaining to the construction, we make every effort to disclose the off season upgrades taking place and this disclosure is typically part of the reservation process. Finally, complaints pertaining to privacy signs are very rare here. Usually when this occurs it is because the sign is improperly hung with the service requested side showing. Our procedure is to remove any towel that is left on the floor. Otherwise we assume you are conserving energy by extending the use of your towels. Beds are typically made up unless personal belongings are left on the bed. Please email or call with your name or room number and we would be happy to investigate this complaint further. A Manager On Duty can be reached at MOD@ForestDunes.com, or call 1-800-845-7787 and ask for Doug or Teresa. Thanks again for your comments.

Great room with great views! Very clean and comfortable; a home away from home. Staff was great! We had rm 809 and it has been the best hotel experience we've had in a very long time.

Room Tip: The corner suites will not disappoint anyone!

“Fantastic Resort - Wouldn't stay anywhere else!!”

Just stayed at the Forest Dunes for a baseball tournament!! We had room 607 and loved it!! It was not too high up for those in our party that were afraid of heights but had an incredible view of the ocean, beach, sunrise and sunset!! We could also view the pool, lazy river and hot tub from our room. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. The beds were great close to the small bathroom and then another full bathroom down the hall. A great well stocked kitchen with breakfast bar, living room with recliner rocker, pull out sofa and arm chair well placed to view out the floor to ceiling patio door windows at the beach! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The restaurant onsite is called Buckets and had friendly staff, delicious food and well priced. I had the philly cheese sandwich with fries and loved it!! Would definitely bring my family back here! We also loved the quiet beach that we had and the close approximity to drive to downtown, the boardwalk, restaurants, shopping and attractions!

“The best vacation .. we come every year”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at Forest Dunes the last 3 years and have stayed in 2 different units. 1105 was where we were the first year we came and the ocean view from the balcony was breathtaking. The condo itself was very nice and the furniture and decor were gorgeous. We requested it the second year but were unable to get it and were put in room 510 which is an oceanfront unit. Wow, had they done a lot!! Unit 510 is really updated and has all the amenities and comforts of home including a big HD flatscreen and a King size bed in the Master Bedroom.
All leather furniture including a rocker recliner were soooo nice!
We were able to stay in 510 again this year and are so happy with the vacation we had!!
We are very happy with our stay at Forest Dunes year after year.
We enjoy the lazy river and indoor/outdoor pools and the hot tub is extremely relaxing.
The resort is clean and the staff are very friendly.
Right on the beach with a small service road between the resort and the beach, just far away enough from the downtown core that you avoid all the noise and craziness but close enough that if that's what you want, it's right down the beach.

We'll be back next year!!! Looking forward to 2012.

Room Tip: 1105 or 510!!
