Honestly one of the better experiences I’ve ever had with the whole fam bam going on a shorter vacation. Place was clean, staff was awesome and the breakfast was solid asf! Easy stay with no inconveniences to speak of- as a family of four we loved it. Also-the hotel is near just about all the main family friendly beaches and experiences! Couldn’t go wrong.

Like: the location was good for us as there was nothing we did during our stay that was more than 20 minutes away. Staff was nice and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good and stayed open for a good amount of time. Dislike: limited parking, parking on the property has a cost tied to it and there’s no guarantee that you will have a spot upon returning for the day/night.

The property is in a great location, close to the beach, SeaWorld, food and I’m sure other things. Rooms were spacious and clean. The room was a bit warn as the sliding door latch was broken, bathroom door handle was finicky and the room smelled musty. They were remodeling a section of rooms next to ours, so maybe our will be in the next group Overall I’d stay again
