Mermaid Resorts & Banquets offers a lovely location with serene gardens and well-maintained facilities, though the rooms could use improvements. The staff is welcoming and helpful, yet some service aspects were inconsistent. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxing getaway close to the beach.

During my stay at Mermaid Resorts & Banquets, I found the hotel itself to be beautiful and serene, offering a peaceful escape. However, the overall experience was marred by several service issues and underwhelming accommodations. While the staff was friendly, there were significant gaps in management and guest treatment that detracted from my enjoyment. I would rate it overall as a solid place to stay but with room for improvement. 🌿🌊
