We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the wonderful; The Bilmar Beach Resort. It was an incredibly busy weekend with the Sanding Ovations Master’s Cup festival, Nov 20–23, 2025. With world-class sand sculptures, live music, food, crafts, and even fireworks right on the beach, the entire area was buzzing…. yet the resort team never missed a beat. Their hospitality shined through every moment of our stay.
A special thank you to Clyde, the General Manager, and Kenny, Director of Food & Beverage, along with the Chef, for ensuring everything ran seamlessly during such a major event. Despite the crowds, we always felt cared for, welcomed, and valued.
We also want to recognize some truly outstanding team members who made our stay exceptional:
Chris at Sloppy Joe’s; warm, attentive, and consistently upbeat even during peak times.
John at the night front desk; helpful, patient, and a calming presence late in the evening.
Patti at the front desk; an absolute star. As we were checking in, two guests pointed to Patti and said, “Patti is why we stay here.” After experiencing her kindness and professionalism firsthand, we completely understand why.
The combination of a beautiful beachfront location, a vibrant festival right outside our door, and a team that truly goes above and beyond made this a memorable experience from start to finish. We are already looking forward to returning!
