There was absolutely no storage in the rooms, couldn't hang any clothes out of the suitcase. The pool with the swim up bar should be adults only. Beach was beautiful and well kept.

We loved our stay at The Island. We paid extra for a room with a view and it was worth the extra money for us. We had terrific view of the gulf. Walking to the beach was quick and easy. I will recommend this hotel. They are doing construction on portion of the gulf side rooms, but that did not bother us one bit. I can only assume we got one of the newly renovated rooms and i think it was great. Only suggestion i would have is maybe offer a $5 discount card for the chair rentals on the beach. We did not use many of amenities that come with paying the resort fee/higher cost per night. Offering the discount probably would have persuaded us to sit on the beach.

The property was close to beach. Accessible from various points. Room door never locked completely abd all outside conversations felt like it was right in your room. Also, complimentary coffee was cold and facilities had no almond or non dairy creamer.
