Legacy by the Sea Resort

The second I walk in the door I was greeted by a sour woman named Karen who immediately had an aggressive unfavorable tone of voice. I was then informed that my 6 person room would have an additional $ 400 security deposit and an additional $ 160 for anyone above 2 guests. Sadly over the phone I was PROMISED I paid all of the fees off MONTHS prior to my stay and guaranteed up to 6 guests with no trouble. It took 15 hours to get here and the last thing I need is extensive drama and unreasonable amounts of stress from a witch in outdated red lipstick. I am honestly furious.
If I could rate 0 I would

Decent condo like hotel. Very clean although you can tell the building is dated. Good value for the money. Just remember, you get what you pay for and this was just $ 100 per night with 2 full beds a sleeper sofa and a kitchen.

Wen there as a last minute since live not far away but not worth it, was 240 $ for a Sunday night not even a busy night to go and we were expecting a nice clean room, wrong! The ac unit was leaking water all over the bedroom ! The living area was so old style not worth the money at all. The hug lied said no hot tub rooms were left until we called and said we need to leave the ac won’t stop flooding the floor then he tells us o we have a hot tub room now, lol I’m no thanks liar! Left got a refund which the guy was then cool about refunding it all which he should of any way since we were only in the room for 40 min tops .just pass on this one and stay at any of the cleaner resorts that don’t feel like your in a horror movie and you have to pay a crazy amount on top of the 240 $ just for crap wifi seriously wifi should be free when your paying over 240 bucks for one night rip off

The hotel was nice and right off the beach. We had great service. Parking was a little bit of a challenge. We had to haul all of our luggage from across the street. They have a nice beach front restaurant/​bar next door which had a discout for hotel guests. We came there for the gulf and it was amazing and clear. We were excited to see the stingrays swim by in the mornings. Very positive stay

The room was pretty nice, beds comfy. Everything worked as it should and there was great view from our 9^th floor balcony. If it were me, I’d probably have put the bedroom with a view of the beach, rather than the living room, but it all works. Bathroom was large with plenty of hot water. Elevators tend to be a longish wait during anything but late night or very early hours, hot tub was nice too! My only complaint… $ 600 for 3 nights and no wifi? They want to upcharge something like 10 – 12 bucks a day for that, or $ 50something a week? Come on now… that is ridiculous, otherwise, no complaints.

It’s a nice hotel with nice rooms and furnishings. The management is the problem. I stayed there 5 nights and while I was there the maid came by and literally asked me to go and take my trash bag out of the bin while she stood there and watched. The maid also asked one of my friends that was staying with me to help her strip one of the beds since they change the linens every three days. We also had a hard time getting toilet paper and often ran out and even though there were 6 of us staying in one room, we were only given a small amount of toilet paper each day.
The front desk was rude to us at times.
If you’re going there for Spring Break, it’s not by anything fun.
Also fun fact — the maids don’t clean the dishes in the suites. The people that stayed in that room before you do since they ask you to do so upon check-​out.

A great hotel at a great price. Only had one night here but it was a very nice stay. We got in late but was greeted by a friendly front desk agent. Our room was clean and comfortable. We got the smallest room but for 20 dollars more we could have had a suite. The room was big enough with 2 beds, a sitting table and a good sized bathroom. The best part was the balcony, it was large for the room size with amazing views of the ocean. It was cold outside so we didn’t leave the door open but when it was open you could here the waves crashing from the bed.
We booked directly with the hotel as they offered the best rate. I wish we could have stayed longer. I will definitely be back!

Stayed in a Legacy King Jacuzzi. For the most part there were no major issues. The jacuzzi was nice and there were a ton of clean towels. The room was clean enough for a beach hotel where there is a lot of sand and humidity and heat. The balcony is not really private as it bows out. People in the adjacent rooms can easily see you from their balconies. The parking is bad so you may have to park next door or down the road. Not good. The staff seemed friendly enough. Only stayed one night and had no issues. $ 125/​night for a decent room on the 9^th floor with an awesome view.
By the way it really cracks me up that the people who give these hotels the worst reviews are spring breakers! They and their friends come down and stack a dozen people in the rooms, pee in the elevators and trash the places and then bitch because the place smells and the staff doesn’t kiss their ass. Hilarious.

Let me start off by saying the view is absolutely breathtaking and looks exactly like the pictures. If you just wanted to come here to see beautiful water without leaving the country, this is the right spot. All rooms have a balcony which is pretty awesome. The parking is free, which is a plus. The room we got is very spacious with a mini kitchen and also a living room with a pull out couch. They have dishes and some cookware, enough to get you by. We got the king suite.
I’m basically doing them a favor by giving them 3 stars because the customer service would get 0 stars. The front desk seemed to have an attitude and the security guard, omg. He was so rude to us last night. There was one parking spot left (it looked like anyway) and it was a garage spot. I tried parking and he shined his flashlight on me. I thought he was a cop because there was a cop car right there. Anyway, he came over and said «see my flashlight, now what does that say?» Then when I went to talk, he cut me off and was like basically yelling at me. I literally wanted to leave the hotel right then and there, but I paid for it already and I haven’t even gotten to enjoy it yet. Also, I figured writing a review would do more than trying to tell someone at the front desk. So if you come here, don’t expect to get great customer service because obviously it hurts them to smile or be polite.

I Stayed here For 5 days in the Penthouse Suite. The penthouse was updated as far as everything being new in the room.
I also had a wonderful view of the beach from the back patio as well as a fabulous view of the strip.
The only thing I was unhappy with was the mannerism of the front desk staff, they weren’t very helpful and rude.
If your going to stay here, I’d definitely recommend the penthouse suites! Fully equipped kitchens, 2 bathrooms, seperate dining area and the beds were new and very comfortable.
I previously stayed in one of the other room types, And the furniture was outdated.
But overall I had a good stay. The pool was clean too

Stayed here for 4 days in the middle of June 2014. 3 adults, 3 children in our party and we shared a room with a two full beds and a pull out sofa with kitchenette. The sofa bed is what you’d expect as far as comfort goes so we knew to bring an inflatable mattress and that worked great. The view was great, staff was friendly and accommodating. Cleaning crew did a great job as well. Wi-​Fi is not included and very expensive. However, this was a vacation away from being plugged in for us so it was fine. My only complaint is the setup in the breakfast area in the lobby. The main draw for breakfast is the waffle station and it’s at the beginning of the area so the line forms behind it making it difficult for those who do not want a waffle to move around them without feeling like you are cutting in line. There must be a better way to have it setup. Not complaining about it being crowded though. It’s a big hotel so it’s to be expected. I think some of the other reviews that were less than positive could have been avoided with proper planning. We had no problems at all during our stay with other guests nor during check-​in or check-​out. This is our 2^nd visit to the Legacy and we will be back.

For all of those people under 21 looking to rent I don’t suggest this place, at all. My three friends and I (all 20) were chaperoning three graduates (we are all girls), ALSO warning to those who book with Orbitz. They tried to say upon check in that we had only booked our room for 2 and that we owed them more money. Fortunately my friend had her email to put up the receipt from Orbitz showing we had paid for 6 guests. When you first arrive and they find out you aren’t 21 their demeanor changes completely and they hit you with a 500 dollar security deposit (with that said at least the two women were respectful). Okay, now I understand a lot of businesses have had issues with people in my age range being destructive, that is not the problem. We were more than happy to pay the deposit. The problem is that they give you a check sheet with 50 – 75 items and an hour to inspect your room. Awesome, right? Maybe it would have been if our room hadn’t been in such run down condition. I don’t think an hour was enough time to even see all the problems this room actually had going. Throughout the week I still continued to find more issues that I had to report so I didn’t get stuck with the bill. For a business that takes security deposits seriously, they obviously don’t put any effort into restoring the rooms. The housekeeping was also pretty mediocre and if you have two cars one has to be parked across the street. The ONLY thing this has going for it is the location and the beach, but if I have to do it again I would have tried to find some place more accommodating and less run down.
*Also upon check out the woman at the front desk was unbelievably rude. We ended up leaving a day early, because of a family emergency and this woman acted as if we hadn’t even paid to stay at the establishment and that we were a huge inconvenience to her. I’ve never seen anything like this, the pure lack of hospitality and customer service was appalling.

Wow, tough crowd here. Based on the reviews I see people want to pay for a 2 star hotel but get a 5 star room. Doesn’t work like that in the real world. For the price of this hotel, you can’t beat the view. Every room has a balcony with an ocean view. I loved sleeping to the sound of waves crashing.
I was here during bike week, a busy time of the season, and I never had parking trouble.
The rooms are modest, but I’m ok with that since the view and price of hotel was great. There’s a stove, fridge, microwave, and kitchen stuff like pots and pans. There is a living room area that is closest to the balcony. I think the bed should be closer to the balcony just to be able to sleep with the lull of waves. Thankfully there was a sofa bed. I chose to sleep on that over the bed to listen to the waves.
The location is great, there is a convenient store across the street and there are souvenir shops and restaurants within walking distance.
Housekeeping is minimal. I didn’t mind because, once again, the rates are dirt cheap. It’s easy enough to clean up after myself.
Overall, I’m glad I chose this place. I got a nice view on a budget. Please folks, be reasonable. You get what you pay for. Fair is fair.

My initial reason was this place is awesome! The room was clean, staff was friendly, parking was easy. My wife and I brought our 2 year old on vacation and needed a pack and play for the baby to sleep in. One was provided in the room, but when we went to set it up there was garbage in it and it wouldn’t lock safely leaving it dangerous. When we called the front desk we were informed they only had one pack and play but offered to clean it out. The response was the best they could do but that still left me with a dangerous crib. We ended up sharing our bed with our 2 year old.
There were various other issues with the actual room. The headboard rattled and sounded like it was going to fall on our heads every time someone next door would shut their doors. The toilet seat was only held on by one bolt. The AC unit was missing the control panel cover, and the lights made it difficult to sleep.
I won’t say we’d never stay there again, but we will definitely look very hard at the other places.

There is nothing good to say about this hotel if you’re looking to have a good spring break.
Location: 20 minutes from everything relevant
Breakfast: hope you like stale bagels
Elevators: at best, they’ll show up after a 20 minute wait filled with urine and/​or beer. At worst? Prepare for a final destination experience. My friend got trapped in the elevator for 20 minutes and had to claw the doors open
Maids: there are maids at this hotel?! Bring your own charmin or you’re gunna have a bad time
Price: prepare to be charged for everything left and right.
In general, it was filthy and not accommodating. Avoid.

Hotel is very nice and right on the beach! The staff was very nice and the hotel/​rooms were very clean. The parking is ok, however, they have many options to park in different areas-​all of which are very close to the hotel. There are lots of stores, bars, restaurants, and many activities to do with (family, friends, significant other). The hotel room is nice and clean and all of the rooms have a balcony to a view of the beach/​ocean! There’s a nice pool and jacuzzi tub and there are chairs on the beach to layout on! Will most definitely come back!

Hotel is old. Pool us tiny. No free wifi. They have it but its expensive. Worst parts are the breakfast. Super small space and not hardly anything to choose from. You bump into plp the whole time you are down there trying to get a hard boiled egg and a nasty cup of apple juice. There is a waffle maker but you have to Stand in line about 20 min to get you one of those. Staff will also wake you up to come in the day you are to leave. Did I mention its just old and dirty. Will not stay there again next month. Moving down the street.

Do not stay, maids service poor at best. Staff rude and unhelpful. Parking is ridiculous have to park across the street behind a store if you get there after 8. The only thing it has going for it is the beach which they don’t control. Have to pay for wifi, breakfast is some donuts or cereal unless you want to stand in line for 20 min to make a waffle. Very dissatisfied with lack of service. Oh yeah and bring your own pillow they say they might have extra is you go down to the desk to get them. Rooms are average beach hotel rooms might be fine if you don’t expect anything.

Room isn’t huge. Jacuzzi suite on the 10^th floor. Great rate though. Not a ton of people in town so its easy to get around. Rooms could use some modernizing. But overall a nice place with amazingviews right on the beach.

Great Hotel bottom line, super affordable compared to all the other high rise beach front hotels on the strip. I will be coming back for my 3^rd yearly visit in August and always have nothing short of a great experience here. Front desk is always very helpful with numbers for taxi services or extended check out times. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and relatively cheap highrise on the beach.
