My stay was a good experience. I feel their should be more ice machines around the area Because some people don't feel comfortable walking into a bar to get ice. I also feel extra charges should be communicated before arrival it was shocking to find out even with booking.Through expedia, there was still another hundred and fifty dollar refundable charge .That unplanned charge did put a hindrance on my trip finances.

The only bad thing that I can say about this place is that there is no food on site. Room was clean (and a little retro), beds were comfy, staff was excellent and helpful, and the Bahi Hut drinks were the best!

This was our first trip to Florida and I have to say, was not disappointed! The only thing I do wish was the restaurant was open but being that we stayed during off season, it wasn’t that bad. Everything was in close range to us.
