Pool temperature was too cold given the weather. We were really looking forward to that on this trip, but couldn’t even enjoy it. Weekend live music choices weren’t very good. Shower drain backed ip terribly. Took >1/2 hour to drain after 1 shower. Shout out to the staff member’MK’ at the kayak launch. She was great! Probably won’t stay again as it’s too expensive for what it is.

Room was ok, beds were comfortable, floors were dirty and slimy. We were there when it was cold and there was no way to turn the heat on, stuck on 68. It was nice they have a complimentary shuttle that will take you within an 8 mile range.

We enjoyed our stay and found the staff to be courteous and responsive. Our room was a generous size, clean and well appointed (as is often the case we wouldn’t have said no to a couple of more outlets lol). The beach and pool areas had plenty of seating and multiple things to do—ping pong, cornhole, etc. We would absolutely stay here again.

I have so much good to say but one incident truly hindered the experience. I asked for a kids cup with a lid and when I opened to look inside there was an insect floating in my childs milk. I told the waiter concerned and he said she leave it, he won't charge it. Dismissed it, left it on the table and didn't apologize for how gross that was.

Nice place in great location but, Few options for food or coffee, the restaurant was virtually dead during our stay, TV went out for most of one day as they had to find an “engineer”, door to outside parking lot next to our room did not lock at all so anyone could come and go. I mean it wasn’t great can’t really say it was good so average is about right.

Room was lousy. Called 3x to have someone come fix toilet. Had to live with it as no one showed up. Got sick night 2 of a 4 night stay. I requested Hotel manager to please cancel one night or even give a hotel credit. They refused. We stay in the keys Often and would have given them another shot, but management was greedy and no empathy at all. Rooms were not cheap and simply asked for a simple accommodation not for them to ruin their business. They suck! Much better places to stay for similar price in same area.
