Alden Beach Resort

Pros: Reasonably priced for a room this size directly on the beach.
Cons: A little old.  No luxury. 

We chose Florida as our travel destination this year because the deals were the best that we have seen in quite awhile which allowed for us to have a longer vacation with more things to do.Our kids were begging to go to the beach so we planned on ...

Pros: - nice kitchenet - 2 pools - free parking
Cons: - tons of kids - busy section of town - noisy environment

I booked this stay as a site-unseen b/c we needed a place to stay while attending a conference at a nearby hotel.

For $148 (after taxes) a night, I guess the value is "ok".

Not the best place for a romantic couple without kids. On the otherhand, if you are looking for an economical place to take the family and being right on the beach is a high priority, then it's not such a bad deal.

Would NOT recommend for a romantic get-away.

Would recommned for a family of four or more who wants pools, beach and playground.

I found the rooms and the premises to be a little worn-out, but still presentable. I was most impressed by the deluxe kitchenett that our suite had (we were in the Nassau bldg). I thought this would be a real plus for a family trying to keep from going out to eat at every meal.

There were two pools, a spa (hot tub), and easy access to the beach (no having to cross any streets).

Staff: I found the staff to be just ambivilent, not outgoing, but not rude either)
