A must stay

Perfect place it was clean, quiet, and the shower was a dream. Waterfall shower the best I have ever used lots of water. I wish I would’ve stayed in like June or July so I could’ve used the pool but it was way too cold for that and it was raining for two days. The only bad thing is no microwave in the rooms, my wife and I like waking up at 5:30am an sit out on the balcony and drink coffee but we had soda instead. We’re definitely coming back but after they finish the new building that’s being built. But it’s a must stay.

The overall appearance is great. The shortcomings are apparent the longer the stay is. Beds are poorly made, cleaning is 1/2 done or not at all, coffee/cups/towels are not replaced daily, and the heating/ac unit is excessively noisy. The staff is generally pleasant. For the price cleaning days should not be skipped though.

Lots of walking and like 5 different places to get on elevators so pay attention ... but everything is brand new and beautiful. Try a chocolate croissant in the coffee shop at the lobby. Nicest rooms we stayed in Florida so far <3

Property is amazing. Golf carts are suggested ant check-in but they aren't needed. There are a few changes I would make changes to, the guard at the gate is not there at night and key card isn’t needed to come and go in and out of hotel but other than that this hotel is actual perfection! Looking forward to coming back again one day!
