We were charged $250 more than the rates at which we made our reservation. At least some of the overpayment appears to have been for parking fees that were waived. It looks like they may have also double charged the resort fees.

Very scenic tropical property right on the water . Great food at the firefly and all the staff were awesome . Somewhat older motel style rooms , but that was fine for us and makes it feel more like a tropical resort. We would definitely stay there again.

Wanted to charge me $50 to check in 30 minutes early. Then after I left, called me 10 minutes later to tell me my room was ready. Parking spaces are not spacious enough to back out and maneuver safely in the part by my room. Very different than the last 5 times I've stayed here. Not sure I'll be back any time soon.
