Kind, welcoming, and helpful staff. Dated building but well maintained. Excellent location and beach access. It was a five minute walk to the pier.
Quiet. Felt safe. Lovely pool area. Well-appointed, spacious 7th floor unit. It was very clean, with the exception of a well-swept floor that still did blacken the soles of our feet (needed a scrub in spots, though no dirt was visible)
We did get a few visits from cockroaches. We understand that this is not necessarily uncommon for any Florida property, even with regular treatments. However, it was unnerving - hoping none came back to Canada with us in our bags that were on the floor!
The ocean view was spectacular. One of the best we've ever had in all of our travels. This is a jewel of an asset for the property. All of the units are ocean facing (lower floors have obscured views due to lush greenery)
We would have appreciated small coffee packs for the coffee-maker, even to purchase at the front desk. Buying grounds from the Publix across the road didn't make sense as they don't sell these in small enough quantities for a two-night stay. Suggestion for the management? Connect with a local coffee bean roaster and create a custom "Discovery Beach Resort" blend. Offer a sample pack, and sell 1/2 pound or pound bags with the DBR branding for folks to take home.
All-in-all, we would recommend this apart-hotel, provided that a person not be bothered if they encounter any of the smaller Florida residents during their stay.
