The lobby and front desk staff were very nice and friendly. The room looked nice, but there were streaks of stuff on the walls. There were clumps of hair on the shower wall. The chairs outside were falling apart. (I have pictures to prove it.) The outside staff at the restaurant were very rude and the food quality was poor. The luggage trolleys were old, rusty and broken. They ran out of food for breakfast on Sunday an hour before they were supposed to be shut down. The property was beautiful. The bed/bedding/pillows were very comfortable and the balcony was nice.
Stuff on walls in hotel room.
Hair on the shower wall.
Broken chair.
Great view of the marina. We watched the manatees from our balcony.

Would definitely stay again!

Room was large and beds were comfortable. Location was lovely, breakfast was absolutely amazing! The convenience of having the pool and a restaurant/bar right on property was unmatched. We loved hanging by the pool and having lunch and delicious drinks. View was great as well! The room was on the warmer side. We talked with the front desk and they were aware of the issue. The beds block some of the air from reaching the rest of the room and they were discussing a resolution for that issue. The rooms were definitely cooler than the outside temp just not as cool as you’d like it to be truly refreshing from the heat and humidity. Not a deal breaker. The staff was super friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. Would stay again!
