Arthur

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The facility looks great from the outside, the general community areas were clean and well maintained and the staff were terrific, pleasant people. The problem was they had a terrible cockroach infestation. These bugs were as big as mice. My wife is extremely triggered by cockroaches so when two of these monsters appeared as we were heading to bed it was a trip ending experience. We shook out all our things and quickly packed them and left for home at 2 am. The management asked if we wanted to change rooms and when I asked if it would be any different he said sadly, NO! So we left two days early.

This was a great little place. We wanted to swim with the manatees so decided to book a stay close to the boat. What a surprise. Cleanest hotel we had all week! Free breakfast was really good— big selection of yummy foods. Wonderful break from the masses of people on the beaches.
