A true gem on the Gulf Coast!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/24/09
We stayed at Treasure Bay for a 4 day weekend and we FELL IN LOVE with this property! It is a great location - away from all of the big, glitzy, crazy casinos on the other end of Beach Blvd. We loved our room, the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was outstanding with a walk in tiled shower and a plasma tv! The casino was the perfect size and had a good variety of slots and table games. We would visit Blu every night for a martini and just adored the atmosphere up there! The pool is gorgeous with an infinity edge and pool bar that serves drinks and the most delicious brick oven pizzas. It is kind of difficult to get a spot at the pool on a Saturday unless you are down there bright and early - not too many lounge chairs available for the size hotel/pool it is. There are only 3 cabanas which they need WAY more than that or at least some umbrellas for shade in the 90 degree heat. The pool bar is closed Mondays and Tuesdays along with CQ (the fancy restaurant on the top floor) which irked me somewhat. If you are a casino resort - you need to have everything open 7 days a week. All in all, great property for a great price in a cute little area of the Gulf that is rebounding from Katrina. We are already planning a return trip in late September!
