Old Florida

Staff very friendly. You can tell the age of the property but from what I could tell well maintained. Only thing I would say is the water pressure isn’t the best for my thick curly hair. This was the 2nd time I’ve stayed here and just booked a 3rd visit next week. I like to be left alone after procedures and they were very accommodating and understanding.

Property was great.it was everything that it said it would be. Was told by Expedia that I had a perk and to ask when I arrived at check in. When I arrived to the resort they said I was not given anything and that is was usually would pop up during check in. I showed them a screenshot of said perk but was not given anything.
