They overbooked their rooms by a lot. I saw at least 5-10 families driving 4 hours to the resort and they said they don’t have any rooms. This is when you paid all in total before and you even called them a day before to confirm reservation. They overbooked and then do not prioritize Expedia/hotels.com customer as those are discounted rates. Do not book this hotel as you can be cheated. They only had one person helping guests and checkin/checkout gets backed up. We had to wait 30 mins to just know they are overbooked. Person also didn’t take call from Expedia for 1 hour and made all different families wait.

Breakfast is between 8-10 am .By 9 am everything is gone and nobody is there to refill anything .No coffee after 9:30 am and they will not refill it.Other good coffee places are far and not worth driving just for coffee from the location. The coffee in the room is terrible and best to avoid it .Rooms are ok but we saw lot of red ants on the walls near the windows.

Booked a room on Expedia; however, was told the booking confirmation had never been sent to the resort. All the rooms were booked and no room available for us. The receptionist said this happened to more than 40 parties on that night. Had to spend more than 2 hours in the car calling Expedia to find a replacement hotel. When finally got a room, it was almost midnight. Very bad experience.

I was unable to check in to banana baby because there was no reservation when I showed up. After multiple hours on the phone call with no results I ended up having to get another hotel so that my family wouldn’t have to sleep in our car. Hotels.com refuses to refund me the original payment that I paid without a charging me a cancellation fee, even though there was no reservation at the hotel to cancel. I am currently in talks with the Better Business Bureau in hopes of recovering my money that hotels.com still.

We didn’t get to stay here because when we arrived at night after our weather delayed flight, they had sold our room. They had no availability. Multiple families were left outside stranded in the same situation in the dark. My family with small children was left stranded by ourselves in the middle of the night to search for another hotel but everything from key west to key largo was sold out! My poor children had to sleep in our rental car. We are hopeful this hotel and Expedia will refund us and do the right thing for their error and greed! Absolutely terrible situation! Beware!

The entire building and the room smelled of mold and were damp. There were no towels in the room. The area looked unkempt. It wasn’t worth the money. The place is not a resort; it’s more like a cheaper inn. They charged an extra $50 for unforeseen expenses and have not followed up. In addition, they charged an extra $9 to the card without explaining why.

I can imagine this place was a true resort at one time, but resort is really far fetched. It’s more of a motel with some extra amenities. The pool was very nice, hot tub very hot, and there is access to the water out back where you can fish. Breakfast was self serve microwave sandwiches, sometimes cereal and fruit. Went a few days without having the room cleaned to the point we had to call and even walk out dirty towels up to the front. I understand staffing can be an issue in any market. The room was very humid and damp but that might be expected for the area. We did really enjoy the bikes they let tenants use freely. It’s not terrible but far from a resort. Feels silly to pay a resort fee and parking fee when the quality is this low.
