Everything was nice for me as I am not a picky person. The staff was super and i liked everything about the location and the free food but some people may not like that it is not a four or five star hotel. I am a blue collar person and i was happy with everything and would stay again.

shari, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

They canceled before we arrived- had over sold all the rooms. Many others were also turned away. To book a room a month in advance to have it canceled the day you arrive- poor business.
Ramona, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The best thing about this hotel is the location. The bed was comfy and the linens were clean. The floor and shower were dirty from the moment we walked in. The shower was barely warm but the bathroom sink didn’t have cold water. Parking wouldn’t be so limited if there were designated spots for each room, and one vehicle per room. It’s made worse when people park dumb and far apart. The breakfast was just so-so but the people running the restaurant were really nice.
Jamie, 3-night trip

Wonderful stay with beautiful scenery, clean comfortable rooms and extremely helpful staff. Will definitely be returning.

Bonnie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great, has a kitchen in the room. Very comfortable. The beach is very nice. But you can't swim, water is too low, and don't feel safety. We enjoyed any way, very peaceful place.
Lyubov, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was beautiful water wasn’t very clear at the property but down the road was a nice beach that was very clean and clear overall pretty solid

Room was older but clean
Gwen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely a dated resort. Super thin walls. Sounded like my neighbors were in the same room with me. I was in unit 5, close to the highway so kept the fan on all night to drown out the road noise. Not impressed for the price I paid. Happily it was a business expense. Can't say I'd go back on my own dime.
Jeff, 1-night trip

Just a 1 night stopover - worked out well for us.

david, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Chose the resort due to ocean view and access. The sand and ocean access were not clean and management didnt appear to care about customer experience. Dirty towels and trash were not picked up in the sand/lounge area in the three days we stayed at the resort. Stacie was great when we arrived and checked on us each morning when she was working!
Ann, 2-night trip

We had a wonderful week at Rainbow Bend. Pool was awesome. Good breakfast. Staff was very accommodating. I would love to do it all over again!!
