I agree. That word is being thrown around to describe everything - fashion, homes, resorts, restaurants. Meanwhile, it’s just slightly higher than mid-priced or just upscale.
Even with your top complaints, I would say sis 3.5 is accurate. Food loses a whole point for being nasty and overpriced. Lack of parking and no turn down at a luxury resort can collectively lose a half a point..😂
This was such a great review. Totally agree on your call outs about the things you didn't like. Safety (lifeguards) and food quality are such big items that a "luxury" resort should really have be top notch.
Hi Gia, aside from a few hiccups I'm happy to hear that you and your family had an enjoyable time. I appreciate your detailed description of the new Evermore Bay. I'm searching for the right accommodations to take my grandchildren to. They are around the same age as your girls. Thank you for sharing!
We are not luxury resort people. Lol. For that money we could stay a whole month at the beach in a small condo with ocean front view. Nice place though. Glad y'all had a nice time! Thanks for sharing.
We booked for next summer and I'm praying they've improved some things by then. I keep hearing more about short staff, not enough umbrellas and chairs, and the food is the most important! Especially if I don't want to cook! I'm hearing a lot of good food from people that don't like seasoning much! 😂 js
That resort looks amazing but when we went to Orlando in April we were there for twelve days so had champagne taste on a beer budget lol We stayed in Kissimmee at a much older resort but we had a two bedroom Condo and it was $130 a night LOL
Hey there, Jia. That place looks amazing and I could see myself visiting there. It’s a shame about the food, but that is something that I can believe because even at Disney, they are not known for the best dining (at the few times I’ve been). I know that this isn’t Disney but its proximity makes it Disney-friendly. Perhaps they will fix the parking problem by adding a parking garage with 24-hour-free taxiing service in the future? I like that the beach is flat because I’m a senior citizen and it would make it easier for me to get around. I would love to see more videos like this one. Thanks for sharing!
The place is beautiful and the accommodations amazing, but too rich for my blood! I'm not cheap or anything. When we travel we're always in a suite. I absolutely agree with you, it's not luxury if all these things are separate. I'm more used to staying at all inclusive resorts. We're getting ready for a trip to Beaches soon! The fact that they charge for turn down service and to clean the rooms would have annoyed me to no end! My opinion, but at those prices, all of that should have been included. However, it looks like you guys had a great time and that's all that matters. Thanks for sharing!
Please, please and please, do a video about the different lighting lanes. I will be going to Disney next week and I can use your help, thank you in advance.
Hello Friend, thank you so much for this video. I have been contemplating taking my little grands to Disney and I watched your last DIsney video and it was so informative, as was this one. I am shocked and appalled that they would have a 4 bedroom kiddo room with no tub. I mean seriously. AND I go on vacation to EAT, so this one will be a no for me....maybe when they complete the water park, I'll rethink it.
Hey just an fyi, we residents don't go every month either! We only go in the summer with family in town from Maryland or Tennessee because we're forced to! It's 177 degrees here in the summer- why would you want to be outside in that heat, waiting in a line for over an hour for a ride that lasts 2 minutes 10 seconds?! You'd think after the 2nd case of heat exhaustion they'd try to come in the fall or just take 2 days additional off early December when the weather here is a perfect 75 and no lightening strike scares! But that change never enters their minds! It's always June 25 - July 1st... every year!! 🫣🥴😳😫🥵🥵
Hey Gia!! My oh my how the girls have grown!! Looks like a fun time was had by all. The property seems amazing. Thanks for giving your opinion on both the positive and negative features of the property. I absolutely detest overpriced nasty food. Food is often a big part of the overall travel experience. The hubby and I just recently came back from a month long vacation traveling through Southeast Asia and at one of the resorts we had a similar experience with the "ocean view" room. We paid for an upgrade to have an ocean view, when we arrived our view was largely blocked by trees and villas. When we talked to the resort staff they said that there are certain rooms that are reserved as ocean view but not all of the rooms reserved for ocean view have the same view of the ocean and you cannot choose what room you will get. I had to chuckle at the "snotty bougie" sister comment. I am the "snotty bougie" sibling in my family 😄. Take care.
I'm not sure if these are typical places but what I saw was between 500 to 800.00 per night. I'd like to know if you would compare this to magic villages? Because I own at the Disney vacation club and all of these places seem like a waste of money if you're chasing that experience
I sooooooo appreciate your opinon on this..when you are spending your money like this, you want the best!!! not the bare menomial, I'm with your sister..
I never heard of Gabb Phone. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely look into getting one for my kid. I was concerned about her having access to content that I would not approve. Thank you
I think the expectation is that you're going to self cater when there is a full kitchen. I typically stay in self-catering facilities. I have been for 10 years. And I always make a trip to Walmart or Sam's club to purchase groceries for all meals. And during the course of the entire trip I may have eaten out once or twice.
I know it seems neat but I am so over managing my life on my phone. Would like to put my phone away on vacation for the most part and maybe deal with some friendly people. To each his own though. ❤
I disagree about lifeguards the parents should be the kids lifeguard. I would never take my kids and soul rely on a life guard. So important for kids to learn how to swim at an early age. Plus important for kids to behave in or out in public. Just my opinion.
Go to Gabb.com/JIA to get a huge discount on a Gabb phone or watch - no contract required! New customers only.
I wish the word "luxury" was not thrown around for everything that is just moderate high end
I agree. That word is being thrown around to describe everything - fashion, homes, resorts, restaurants. Meanwhile, it’s just slightly higher than mid-priced or just upscale.
I recently said the same thing. Great minds.
Even with your top complaints, I would say sis 3.5 is accurate.

the food was bad?
That was a beautiful property. I appreciate you sharing your trip with us. Thanks for the review. Take care 😊

Thank you for sharing your honest experience. It's been trending everywhere and I was wondering how it could play out for my family of 5!
Thanks for the honest review. I totally agree with you when you say the property is very nice, but it isn't LUXURY. There's definitely a difference ❤
I can remember taking our kids to Orlando, Disney World, and Universal Studios. Those were some really awesome times.❤

Hi Jia, I'm so glad you did a review on this resort. I have seen so many promo for this resort.
We are planning to go soon, thanks for the review!!

Hello Jia glad you and your family enjoyed yourselves😂😂❤❤ beautiful place indeed
Oooh, can't wait to see your review. I was thinking of going next summer.
Beautiful but I'm not sure if it's worth the price. I'm not a fan of that app based model either but that seems to be the future of, well, everything.
That was a GREAT review of the resort from a "family" perspective. They definitely need to improve the food with those prices!!😆
Please, please and please, do a video about the different lighting lanes. I will be going to Disney next week and I can use your help, thank you in advance.

Hi Gia!! Very nice resort. I glad you and family enjoyed yourselves Thanks for sharing your video.
Love the review, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤I do agree with your sister, that’s not a luxury resort.
Pls so a review on disney and new lightening lane. Would like opinion from a non resident that doesnt go every month 😅

I wonder is the lagoon sandy bottom or concrete like a pool?
Concrete like a pool
I haven't watched in awhile as but OMGoodness, you look fabulous! I need that kind of vacation 😅✊🏻 And happy you all are having time of your lives 🎉🥰
🥰🥰🥰
A lovely place but I do think they should have had one tub. It’s so hard when you have littles with a shower only.
Hope you and your family enjoyed yourselves.
I'd love to see a video about your time at Disney!
I will be there Sunday only going 2-3 days cause it's to expensive
Looks nice and fun
Thanks for your video. I’m curious if you have friends or family in the area are they able to visit you? Or is there a cost?
I stayed at a Conrad Hilton resort in Mexico it was beautiful
I was looking at them for next year for my daughter's birthday
I never heard of Gabb Phone. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely look into getting one for my kid. I was concerned about her having access to content that I would not approve. Thank you
I would rather go to the islands than pay that price domestically .. Thanks for sharing 😊
I think the expectation is that you're going to self cater when there is a full kitchen. I typically stay in self-catering facilities. I have been for 10 years.

Is there an all-inclusive option that includes food and alcohol?
I know it seems neat but I am so over managing my life on my phone. Would like to put my phone away on vacation for the most part and maybe deal with some friendly people. To each his own though. ❤
Awesome video
Your nails are so pretty
That’s crazy
That cell for kids is super cool.
Probably only work in the US I imagine ?
Blessings 💞🙏🏾💞💞💞
Jia the hair is LAYED
👋🏾 Hello, I am thinking about taking the family to Evermore May 2025. Is there a promo code for your subscribers?
I don’t have one but depending on the state you live in, you may be able to find one online
@MarriageMotherhood thanks. I am in Fayetteville, Ga
That whole bay view explanation was such a scam
You have beautiful skin and teeth. The entire video i kept staring at them. Lol❤❤
Thank you 🥰
Hello, I’m a new UA-cam creator. Great promotion video. Thanks for sharing Mamie Channel ❤❤❤

Pretty, but way too expensive. Not practical for just a single family to go and stay.
I disagree about lifeguards the parents should be the kids lifeguard. I would never take my kids and soul rely on a life guard. So important for kids to learn how to swim at an early age. Plus important for kids to behave in or out in public. Just my opinion.
Do your research (not TikTok research) and you will avoid wasting money on an overpriced timeshare.
