“It was one of the best vacations of my life.”
The resort and facilities were perfect for me, I especially enjoyed the pools. My room was so clean and comfortable. And the 1 minute walk to the beach chairs/umbrella made it the best vacation overall.

“Location beautiful , staff amazing , hotel standard and rooms poor.”
The property is extremely tired. I would say Rooms are not great needs a huge uplift. When we arrived our gulf room view was awful , bathroom tired so asked for a further room, which they did, a little better but disappointing . I think at present this hotel is 2 stars . However it is on a beautiful beach, has lovely pools, staff are amazing and housekeeping was good too . Endless beach/pool towels and water available all the time. Sunbeds plentiful and umbrellas for beach , no need to get up early!! Food good too. Pool bar and evening bar staff all nice and welcoming . Parking on site too plus a trolly bus is provided throughout the day to go into St Arnand Circle where shops and restaurants are , plus a 5 minute drive too.

“Spectacular Views and the best shells on any beach around!”
Very nice location, One of the best beaches in the surrounding area. The staff was very helpful and did a wonderful job with making sure you had things set up on the beach the way you wanted. The view from the ocean view rooms was spectacular! The Price per night was more than worth it.

The bed was comfortable, water pressure good in shower, nice cold pool and right by the beach with chairs and towels. Front desk staff, especially Timothy was very hospitable. This is a hotel from the classic sunny Florida summer days gone by- it is older but they make up for it with amenities and friendliness
