We stayed at Surfside for 6 nights following a Disney world onsite stay. 2adults 2children. We stayed in a family suite and the kids were so pleased to have their own beds and it was nice for us to have our own room as well. The room is spacious, beds were comfortable, it was easy to adjust the air con so we weren’t cold over night. The really nice Scottish person at reception ( sorry I forgot his name ) upgraded us to a pool view on the 6th floor right at the end of the corridor, this is because I requested a quiet room. I was so grateful we slept well and didn’t have any noise disturbances other than the pool music which turns off at 11pm. The food court is reasonably priced with a few options for 1-2 nights of dinning we also had breakfast once. I wouldn’t want to eat there everyday but it was good for when you’re too tired for the parks. Buses are great, very regular some nights at city walk there was a bus waiting straight after one leaves, I’d say the buses are more regular than Disney buses and Surfside was the first pick up and first drop off for us except for once when they dropped the dockside guests back first The pool is nice and the pool bar sells a nice selection of drinks. Few things I would change Cleaning - the room was clean but not spotless clean like our Disney hotel There is no play park for kids The shower for the pool is in the gym Security- I am sure there were 2 junkies in the food court taking metal spoons and food one night and people definitely use the buses that aren’t staying in the hotel. We had a great time and this hotel was reasonably priced. Read less

We are having such a wonderful stay at Endless Summer Surfside Hotel. The staff were fantastic, and a special mention goes to Marcos at reception — he could not have done more for us.

He was polite, funny, and made checking in after a long day at the park quick and effortless, which was greatly appreciated. Our room was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. I only wish we had booked for longer, but we will definitely be back. Highly recommended! Read less

Spent 4 nights here, staff friendly, especially restaurant staff, room spacious, well equipped and comfortable, food great (especially the spaghetti bolognese), regular buses to the parks and pool amazing. Recommend the Brain Wash and Storm cocktail (in a refillable glass obviously). Our room had amazing sunset views and night views of the parks.… Read more

Amazing resort. No faults apart from the corridors being a little noisy in the early morning and late night. TIP: Go to the laundry rooms , anything in the bench is most likely free to take as people put things they don't need in there for other people. Keep going and checking in both towers. We got a pushchair, toaster , kettle and more! Food is… Read more
Amazing resort. No faults apart from the corridors being a little noisy in the early morning and late night. TIP: Go to the laundry rooms , anything in the bench is most likely free to take as people put things they don't need in there for other people. Keep going and checking in both towers. We got a pushchair, toaster , kettle and more! Food is great but if you are an adult, dont get the adult pasta, the kids pasta does the adult flavours but with like a spoonful less pasta for 5 dollars cheaper. Bargain. Read less

While staying at hotel I contracted scabies. We had a suite with a double bed each and only I caught it so must have been from the bed I slept in or the blankets only I used.

While staying at hotel I contracted scabies. We had a suite with a double bed each and only I caught it so must have been from the bed I slept in or the blankets only I used. I put a complaint in over two months ago but the customer service has been terrible. Initially I was told it was being investigated and I would hear back within 14 business days. I was then told it had been forwarded to investigators. Each time I contact them asking what is happening I am told the person I have emailed is not the person with information and they will forward on my email. I have asked many times for the email address of who is dealing with this but have not been provided with it. I received one letter from a claims company over a month ago but again with no email address on there, just a phone number and fax. I’m in the uk so reluctant to phone due to costs so again contacted the initial person I dealt with asking for an email address but this was ignored. My family and I feel like hotel has no intention of dealing with this or getting back to us. We love visiting Florida in part due to the excellent customer service we usually receive and as we love the friendly american people. We feel that Surfside inn and suites has greatly let us down and we are very disappointed with the service we have received. As well as the awful symptoms from scabies I suffered the embarrassment of having to stay off work while being treated and my desk being isolated so work could make sure no one else contracted it. The very least hotel could do would be to respond to my emails correctly and give me an apology but none of that has happened. I would advise anyone thinking of staying here to think carefully before they do so. Read less
