"I loved the stay, place was clean and the room was great. I liked that the security did not let any interlopers in the pool. The lobby is beautiful, a little loud but beautiful. The pools were spectacular. The service by the pool was excellent. The food by the pool was fairly priced. Only thing I would change is the music. This is a Jimmy Buffet hotel, the least they should do is play 1 Jimmy Buffet song once an hour. I was hoping to chill with some boat cruising music ( Jimmy Buffet, Kenney Chesney, Bob Marly) but is was mostly modern rubbish."

"My honest review, Me and my family had a great stay overall. A few things that didn’t meet my expectations for the price we paid was the cleanliness of the room , the food and the parking and the construction that went on from 7 am to 5 pm every day. The construction was terribly loud and basically ruined any peace we wanted on our vacation . You should charge your guests less money during this time , because it’s not worth it . Let’s start with the room , when arriving the shower was filthy . There was sand and grime build up in the bottom of the shower . The glass had soap scum all over it . The walls in the bathroom had dirt build up all over which you noticed while sitting on the toilet . The floors in the room looked dirty and felt gritty , they need to be deck scrubbed not just mopped over . We had an issue with one of the servers in the restaurant part . We went in with two coupons they give you for breakfast that we paid for and the server took it , asked us what we wanted to drink , brought us our drinks then asked us for our tickets again . We mentioned he already took them from us . We bickered back and forth and he basically called us a liar . I asked if they had cameras. We paid for each ticket so we lost out on that breakfast . Not professional at all and another waste of our money for pretty mid food that was also overpriced. They overcharge for parking . Plain and simple . All the staff was amazing on the other hand . Friendly and helpful . Enjoyed the pool ."
