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!

The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, plenty of towels. The Tiki Bar was a nice place to relax with a beer after a day of work. My only complaint is nothing the owners can fix: location. Being next to an airport, sometimes early in the AM a jet comes by the runway nearest the hotel and got loud enough to wake me up.
