Many guests appreciated the spaciousness and layout of the rooms, especially those on higher floors with some enjoying spectacular ocean views and modern furnishings. The fully equipped kitchens and convenient in-room amenities like washing machines and dryers also received positive feedback, making longer stays more comfortable.

However, the resort's rooms commonly faced criticisms about their outdated conditions and cleanliness issues. Several reviews mentioned dated or worn-out furniture, dirty surfaces and a lack of proper maintenance. Some rooms had cleanliness issues such as mould, dust and leftover food from previous occupants. The basic nature of the rooms and certain maintenance problems like broken drawer handles and non-sealing fridges further detracted from the experience.

Despite these drawbacks, individuals in upgraded or recently renovated rooms found them to exceed expectations, highlighting the difference in quality across the resort. The picturesque balcony views and great location were consistent perks that guests enjoyed. To ensure a pleasant stay, it might be beneficial to inquire specifically about room condition and recent renovations when booking.

Beds
Beachcomber Resort has received mixed feedback concerning its beds. Numerous guests mentioned that the beds were often two single mattresses pushed together, which created an uncomfortable gap down the middle. This arrangement proved less than ideal for those seeking a seamless sleeping experience, particularly for couples on a romantic getaway.

Comfort levels varied among guests with some finding the beds to be comfortable and others noting they were hard, lumpy or saggy. Some reviews highlighted the large bed size as a positive aspect, yet this was undermined by the discomfort caused by the bed composition. Several guests also noted instances of uncleanliness with some encountering stained bedding and crumbs.

There were mentions of thin blankets and a lack of additional bedding, which contributed to a less cozy sleep environment for some. Despite these issues, a few guests did find the beds to be satisfactory for short stays, describing them as comfortable.

In summary, while the resort's location and overall stay experience may have positive aspects, the beds at Beachcomber Resort appear to be a significant area for potential improvement.
