My experience at Horizon South was quite mixed. While the location and amenities were fantastic for family fun, I faced several issues with the room's maintenance and comfort. It was disappointing that the air conditioning struggled to keep us cool during our stay, and some appliances were outdated or malfunctioning. However, the kid-friendly atmosphere and the management's efforts to assist made for some positive moments.

My experience at Horizon South was a mixed bag. On one hand, I appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere and the well-kept grounds. However, we encountered several issues with the condo itself, such as an unfinished kitchen and problems with air conditioning that made our stay quite uncomfortable. While the area is secure and cozy, the accommodations need serious updates to match the expectations set by their promotional materials.

Horizon South is a solid choice for families, thanks to its well-managed facilities and friendly environment. The short walk to the beach is a plus, and the variety of pools keeps everyone entertained. However, the condition of some units can vary significantly, and some guests had issues such as malfunctioning appliances and inadequate air conditioning, which detracted from the overall experience.
