We have stayed at the BayWatch Resort many times over the last 15 years. It has been our go-to when we wanted to get away from home for a few days. We have stayed in 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units over the years in all three towers. So we have a lot of examples of units at BayWatch to compare our stay with.
Upon entering the unit, we were greeted with the smell of smoke and marijuana. The smoke smell came from all of the towels in the unit. There was no escaping it. We were thankful we brought our own to use. Additionally, the bathroom smelled of marijuana. It was even coming from the wall decorations. We found a can of air freshener in the bathroom cabinet. We pretty much emptied it in the bathroom and around the unit to provide relief.
We looked around the unit to make sure of the cleanliness elsewhere. We found alcohol, noodles, coffee, recreational ice pack, and other items on and in the refrigerator. There are splatter stains on the lower walls around the unit. The closet had a sticky substance on the floor and the safe was not secured to the floor. The closet door track was so dirty it didn’t move smoothly. Additionally, our feet were blackened with dirt walking around the unit causing us to wear socks during our stay. The socks we wore got pretty soiled each day. Photos were taken and sent.
This was, by far, the worst unit we have ever stayed in at the BayWatch. We attempted to contact by email, phone, and through VRBO without response.
