Locked out of beach area

Liked:Let me begin by stating that we have been coming to this hotel since 1996. My daughters were pre-teens and now they’ve introduced my grandkids to Glunz and have tried to make some of the same memories they had here. We’ve always enjoyed it immensely. But this time was not the same. Owners are the same I’m told but management is different, very “corporate” like. I will say that all maintenance personnel were extremely nice. Last couple of times we always get the villas #7 or #8 cause they are in front of their own pool. Bad thing is that now around 7-9pm they lock you in the gates and you have no access to the beach at night. Kids have always gone fishing at night from shore and they were locked outside with only access to the villa is to go around by the parking lot and to the front door! The lady that came to lock the gates clearly saw all the kids fishing yet she locked them out without even asking or telling us. I was in the pool area and asked her if this was really necessary since all the other villas seemed to be empty, all she said was yes. I told her I think I’m going to write a complaint about this and she tells me with a huge attitude, go ahead cause the same people you will be complaining to are the same that tell me to lock it and continued toward the other gate to lock as well. We were told that it’s because it’s a liability for insurance purposes because of the pool. I get it. But if we were to have been informed of this beforehand, we would not have asked for this villa which we paid much more money for and would have just gotten the cheaper suites (which were available cause the hotel was almost empty). We felt like caged animals not being able to easily access the beach like the other rooms. In my opinion you should have a key, maybe on the same bracelet or a key that is given to these two villas to control the gate. Totally ridiculous! Very disappointed! SO KEEP IN MIND NEVER RENT VILLA #7 or #8!!

Like a little slice of heaven

Liked:We stayed a week in a villa with our adult family of 6. It was a perfect fit with 3 separate bedrooms and baths. The master suite was luxurious. The rooms were well maintained and the staff were very accomodating (bringing extra towels, etc.) The pool was directly outside our sliding glass door. Bike rentals were easy as well. We also enjoyed an evening meal at Havanna Jacks with gentle breezes and live music. We look forward to a return in the near future.
