I don’t have a pet so I’m not sure. Our room did not overlook the beach but some rooms did. We were a very short walk to the pool and the beach - the hotel was quiet and the room was well furnished. It was perfect for a weekend getaway.

Very disappointed this time around after years of visiting the area and this particular hotel me and my spouse are calling it quits and i’ll be sure to share my experience with all my employees as well with family and friends. The reason for the one star is because i specifically ahead of time asked for a second floor which by the way the resort confirmed my request but when i arrived they had booked them all so we ended up on the first floor that night around 11,30 pm it sounded like we had a stampede of elephants above us i decided to wait a while but it was getting worse i phoned the front desk and older lady answered and told me she would call the tenants above us and nothing happened so i called back and she answered very annoyed and told me she was busy imagine that at that time of night when the place was at half capacity or less . The next morning i went to the front desk and this lady as soon as we started talking she said oh the people above you are an elderly couple and they are. the sweetest you should meet them i said to myself and what are we but it gets better she already had are names and room number without us telling her . I explained listen we are on our 26 th anniversary and we chose this location cause this was were i proposed didn’t even get a happy anniversary or nothing just a look like get out of my face and leave . The day of the checkout she was there again with the same attitude and racist face the employees told me that’s her attitud.

Really nice beach to relax, awesome restaurants just a beautiful island favorite breakfast place was the lighthouse cafe, dinner was Doc Ford, Mudd Bugs, keylime bistro for the keylime pie! So basically if your into nature, beach, and relaxing this is the island for you just bring spray for the no seeums although the hotel sells a spray for 7.00 not bad at all. But overall a nice relaxing 4 day getaway!
