En Soleil #922 West

The hotel is gorgeous, with spacious rooms, and it's set on a quieter stretch of beach, which is a blessing. You won't be disappointed staying here.

It's a quiet, low-key resort on the less busy side of PCB, off Thomas Drive. The pool is massive and beautiful, and rarely crowded. With only three units per floor and very few rentals in the complex, we never ran into crowds or elevator waits. The underground parking is a convenient bonus. Units are huge and have the biggest balconies in PCB. This is the only place we stay in PCB now.

We had checked out, but my kids went to the pool about an hour before we left. After a walk, they came back to swim, and office staff came out yelling and ordered them off the entire property. We had to collect them from the resort afterward. Security should first ask whether people are staying there instead of kicking kids out without a reason.

The wristbands were fine with us. We saw them as a useful way to check who belonged on the property and could use the amenities, and the guards we dealt with were great. Jake, Chris, and another weekend guard whose name we didn’t catch all helped make the stay better. We were at SW1522 through Resort Collection, and the condo was spotless, updated, spacious, and easy to get around, with just three units on each floor. The unheated pool wasn’t usable in December, but there’s also a good-sized heated pool and two big hot tubs. We’d happily stay again.
