Compared to other choices in the area, I thought we ended with the best deal. We booked the ocean view king room, which is very spacious with sitting area and the view of the water is right there. Nice updated bathroom and a balcony overlooking the water too. Freshly painted inside and out - well kept grounds, loved sitting under one of several tiki umbrellas to enjoy that view and watch the boats. wished we were staying longer - but next time we will.

I booked a Resort Queen Family Suite with Kitchen. I thought we'd have an ocean view from the photos we saw on Expedia. We asked, but they said no. The room looked clean, but during the night, a cockroach came out. We couldn't sleep after that. We waited until dawn, and my husband told the front desk, and the response was that it wasn't under their control and that it was Florida. The hotel was expensive. The pool was fine, and the surrounding areas were clean.The experience was not good.
