This is a lovely resort with all you could want in one spot - a tropical pool with a bar and hot tub. They had games and crafts out for the kids in the afternoon. THEY CLEANED THE ROOM DAILY - something I haven't experienced since before covid. There is a second pool with a view of the bay also. Its a bit of a walk to off site restaurants, but a short uber ride to anything you may want offsite. Heck - just order delivery if you don't want to use the hotel restaurant, which was lovely, just more expensive than I wanted to spend for every meal there.

We loved the area near the marina. The room was really spacious and we loved the double sink. Walls are really thin. Staff was friendly and helpful. They didn't serve complimentary coffee or water throughout the day. There is also a fee for parking.

Close to SeaWorld & nice pool

Hotel was nice but a few things were annoying like the car parking charge of $29 a night felt excessive. Food was average. No black out blinds and road and plane noise could be quite noisy at times. My kids loved the pool and our room was right next to it that also had its plus and minus points as the pool is open until 11 so can be noisy if you plan to sleep earlier than that. Fridge in room was useful, overall room was good and clean. Check your bill when you leave as we paid for the $20 a day package that included upgraded WiFi and SeaWorld shuttle but they also charged us for the upgraded internet. ($15) Also lots of private events at the hotel like weddings and conferences which gave it a bit of a weird atmosphere. Overall price is good for quality of pool and room. Parking also easy.

The location of the peppery was very good. The ground were beautiful. Staff were very pleasant. The room was equipped the only enough towels for two people, which was of for a room for four. House keeping came in daily but initially the room was not terribly clean. We left out fresh fruit one night and found a cockroach scurrying around the fruit on the counter. Told the front desk that seemed unconcerned.
