We stayed at Merrill’s for 3 weeks, this was our first visit to this resort. We used to stay at Grand Pineapple, but of course that’s gone now. We saw quite a few people that we knew from the Pineapple, both at Merrill’s and other resorts up and down the beach. Merrill’s is a lot like the Pineapple, rooms were bigger, but beach was smaller. We were in room 710, it was fine, the shower leaked, we told front desk, we were told to put a towel down. Take an extension cord, no plug in bathroom, only a couple in the whole room. Housekeeping did a great job, clean towels whenever you wanted them. Food was good, not a lot of variety, we did eat out a few times. No light beer, no wine unless you bought it. We took 3 boxes, so that worked out ok. One problem that wasn’t Merrill’s fault was loud music a couple nights every week coming from across the road, once til 4a.m. We think it was coming from Kenny’s Italian restaurant, we were told they had after hours parties. Apparently the police don’t enforce the noise ordinances. The Wi-Fi was free, it worked ok. The day we checked in, I asked about the safe, was given the lock, I asked about a fee for it, was told no charge for safe. The day we checked out, we were told it was $69.00. I said no, relayed what I had been told, guy at the desk tried to call manager but couldn’t get him, so he said ok, no charge. If it matters to you, make sure when you’re checking in about cost. All in all we enjoyed our stay, everyone was great, employees didn’t wear name tags so I can’t remember the names, but all were very nice, friendly, and helpful.
Excellent
