This is my 3rd trip in a year staying here. I always enjoy my visit. Pool is great, Enjoy the Bahia Hut. But I do have some comments this trip. The tables outside the lobby, under the big hut ARE NEVER wiped down. Nasty. Also the entrance mat right there was never even swept in 4 days. On our last night our AC unit had been leaking over the night stand , where I had my lap top bag and Teresa's purse were, both of which got wet. I told the young lady at the front desk, but I was informed there was no one on maintenance. I informed management in the morning as we were checking out, and barely an I'm sorry.. One last issue, the mattress had such a worn deep impression in 1 side, we referred to it as the hole. So, some good, but a few issues this trip.

Great resort for the price. Definitely the best place in that area. Updated rooms & very clean. Love all the tiki’s around the pool. Didn’t know they had the oldest tiki bar in Florida. Nice quiet place to relax. Ask for room 200. Pool view & you walk right out to the pool area.

Very nice hotel, great pool, very nice staff, they had a great cocktail lounge called the Bahi hut , great bartender and nightly entertainment. We had so much fun. The bed could’ve been more comfortable. It was also only a 15 minute drive to Siesta key, which was great.

The room was ok. The A/C was not working. We asked to be moved to a different room, but supposedly the hotel was fully booked/ no rooms available. The pool stairs needs to be fixed. The door to ourroom was not working properly and locked us out. The front desk lady was nice and empathetic, but our stay was a total hassle.
