"The staff was very pleasant and helpful through the check-in. However, there were shady people in the parking lot playing loud music through the night, the non smoking room reeked of cigarettes, and there was visible mold in the bathroom. I paid for a two night stay and left the morning after our first night. Would not recommend to anyone, especially if you are staying with children."

Top Carnelian Bay Hotel Reviews

3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

8/10 Good
"The property location is amazing easy walk to the downtown area. I really like that both bedrooms had their own bathroom. The beds were really comfortable in the kitchen had everything that we needed. Our one huge complaint is the parking. Two nights in a row we were forced to park on the street about half a block away due to not having any assigned parking spot. They give you a parking pass however they don’t monitor these so there were more cars than they were parking spots or people park there that weren’t supposed to. Either way it happened to us twice."
