| - When I first looked up the Firesky Resort online, I was really confused about the various room options. Let me just tell you - except for very few exceptions, all of the rooms are the same. All rooms are about 400 sf and you either get one king sized bed or two queen sized beds. The variation in price of up to $50 per night is solely based on the view. There are 5 buildings that surround a pool, lagoon and courtyards in a U-shape. As you can imagine, there are rooms facing these facilities and some rooms facing the parking lot. Even if you want to save money, DO NOT get a room that faces the parking lot. It will feel like a motel. The rooms that face the facilities are all pretty much the same and there's no real reason to pay extra for the pool view or lagoon view rooms. In fact, those rooms may be noisier and have less privacy due to the amount of traffic from other hotel guests.
If I had a dog, this place would be heaven. Dog-friendly hotels are not as common as they should be and even those that are tend to put all of the dog owners in the old/nasty part of the hotel. Not the case here - dogs ruled the resort and I didn't mind at all.
The best part of the experience was the free wine reception every evening from 5pm to 6pm. Let's just say that I got my money's worth. We stayed 3 nights and each of us got 2 glasses of wine each evening. No, it's not the best wine but who cares when it's free.
The firepits are also very cool but there's a limited number of them and they are always in high demand. I also love that there's self-parking all around the hotel so you can leave your vehicle close to your room for easy access.
The hotel is good but not perfect. For example, one day we were out from 9am to 3pm and when we returned, the room was still not made up. I found that to be inexplicable and unacceptable. I had to locate housekeeping to clean the room. When we returned to the room 2 hours later, the room was clean but the maid had put 2 identical toothbrushes next to each other. We had left one on the left side of the sink and one on the right side. It's pretty stupid for someone to move them so we couldn't tell which one was whose. When I called guest services to ask for new toothbrushes, they took forever to deliver them to the room.
But the overall experience was fine. The hotel doesn't look as amazing as the website shows (but does it ever?). We ended up paying about $150 including tax for 3 adults and considering the amount of wine we drank, I think we got a good value out of it.
