Kingfisher Oceanside Resort And Spa

“Stayed two nights and enjoyed our stay.”

We stayed two nights to visit the area. Room had waterfront view with large glass windows. Peacefull and really enjoyed our stay. Nice bar and restaurant. Did not use the spa facilities or exersize room. Easy parking. Very comfortable beds and Pillows. Would stay here again.

We stayed at the King Fisher for 5 nights. The location is quiet and the grounds are very nice. We booked a beachfront Suite (Eagle) which was well appointed and clean. What was disappointing was that there was a designated smoking area directly in front of our unit. So if you’re sitting on your patio you had no privacy, and sometimes you could smell the smoke wafting up depending on the wind. Seemed a strange place to put a smoking area. We also did the Spa Cave experience, which was nice and unique, but felt rushed as you could only spend 10 minutes in each cave. It was part of a package, so we didn’t pay full price for it, but I don’t think I would spend the $200+ that it normally costs to do it. The lounge area when you arrive had dirty white leather seats, and the relaxation lounge upon exit was filled with outdoor deck chairs that looked very overused and worn, definitely not a spa like feel. We chose not to use it. Aqua 7 Bistro – Nice setting on the patio, however the food choices were not what I would call casual, more fine dining options for what you would expect for a bistro. Not a lot of healthy or allergy friendly choices that you might expect at a spa resort. The happy hour only gave you a choice of red or white wine, and not the wines on the menu, cheaper wines that were in my opinion not great. Ocean 7 – We ate here on our last night. We tried to book for 6pm, but told it was full. We got there for our 7pm reservation and were offered to sit outside on the patio (bistro) and could have the same menu as the Restaurant, so why we couldn’t come at 6pm was a mystery as the restaurant only had two other tables occupied. The food was just ok. I honestly think they should just make the whole place one restaurant and have both casual and fine dining options on the menu. Trying to be two different things in the same spot and everyone is casually dressed anyway.

“Beware of chlorine leaks”

The rooms were awesome, pool was great. The only complaint I had was we did the hydropath. When entering the cave and turned on the 4 water showers, we all started to cough and our eyes were burning.

The rooms were awesome, pool was great. The only complaint I had was we did the hydropath. When entering the cave and turned on the 4 water showers, we all started to cough and our eyes were burning. We got out of the cave, but it’s still all underground. A few of us went back in and tried it again and found the same thing. We brought it up to a worker and she right away went to maintenance. There was a chlorine leak. We were given extra time in other pools, to make up for not being able to go in the caves. When we left we expressed our concerns of the chlorine leak and we were offered 15%off the price! Nope not good enough. After talking with a manager, we didn’t have to pay for the hydropath. We had burning eyes and were coughing for the rest of the evening. I really do hope that they reported that leak to the health authority. It really should have been shut down, but as we left there were people checking in for their hydropath. It’s all under ground, so it’s not like the chlorine just disappears..
