In this YouTube short, three speakers discuss a recent stay at a purported resort that turned out to be a dilapidated, overpriced timeshare property. They describe unsafe balconies that feel like they could give way, a chaotic mix of cheap, mismatched patio furniture, and signs of past hurricane damage such as water‑filled second floors. Despite the property being advertised with appealing photos, the guests were charged about $250 per night plus resort fees, totaling roughly $300 per day for substandard accommodations. Frustrated by the misleading marketing, they plan to leave negative reviews on the booking website, even considering buying other people's phones to flood the site with bad feedback. The overall tone is conversational but sharply critical, expressing disappointment and anger toward the resort’s practices.

No. And then the furniture is like somebody went around and Kmart special.
I mean, given all the things that they've like claimed that this is a resort.
If you go look around, like, if you stand on the porch, it feels like you're gonna fall through to the next floor. That's. Yeah.
The. The balcony is like. Yeah, it's really.
Scary. That doesn't sound good.
No.
And then the furniture is like. Somebody went around picking like lawn furniture for about a wow year and found all these like, literally, there's not one patio set out here that matches. Every patio set on the balconies out here is completely different than the next. So that was another telltale sign of the ain't a resort.
I think what this was was this was a timeshare resort that they turned into.
It got.
Covered by.
The hurricane. And in Tampa a couple, three, five.
Seven years ago, I don't even remember how long.
Ago, but the water came up all the way to the second floor, submerged. The entire second floor.
The first floor is parking pillars.
So everything is. Anyway, but the resort is. The.
Property is.
Gross. It's old, it's dilapidated, it's broken. And they're charging 250 bucks a night.
And a resort fee.
So when you add all that in, it's 300 bucks a damn day to stay at a piece of.
Wow. Obviously, it obviously didn't look like that from the.
The pictures.
Did not represent. So sometimes I guess you got to read reviews. Don't usually read reviews.
I'm gonna buy people's phone from them just to leave a review. I'm gonna go to that website and I'm gonna leave a bad review from every person's phone that I can get a handle.
It's very disappointing.
That is sad.
