The room was great, the staff wonderful. We enjoyed the little tiki bar had some wonderful bloody Mary’s for breakfast. The only unfortunate was the weather was too cold to go in and swim, which would’ve been fun. We will definitely visit again.

We had a fantastic 5 night stay here. They offered daily house keeping, they took care of so much it felt like a treat to come back to after days filled with activities. The water pressure in the shower was awesome! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Our TV just shut off one night and we were very concerned they would think we broke it or something. The team sent someone in and fixed it and didn’t charge us any incidentals. The area is incredible your minutes away from some of the best beaches and attractions in the country and the airport is literally 5 mins away. The front office checks in by text throughout your stay should you need anything and are extremely kind through text. Thank you for the great hospitality!
