It was a good place to stay just the way it's all spread out is a little confusing.

First time visiting LBTS. Our room was first floor, beach front and was walkable to all of the restaurants, bars and shops. Location, cleanliness, service of front desk staff, all excellent! The only bit of disappointment was Backflips, the onsite restaurant/bar. This has the potential to be a gold mine, but staffing is key. One day we ordered the bacon cheeseburger (a menu item) and we received a plain cheeseburger with nothing on it. Sent it back and then received another that did have all of the fixings….but no bacon. Fries were old and cold. Told server. All we got was and apology and the bill for $16. They also advertised happy hour from 9-10 pm. Arrived at 9pm and the bartender displayed an attitude like “”why would you come here so late?” Like we were interrupting her ability to close so she could go home. Don’t advertise a happy hour at that time if you don’t want customers! They missed out on a lot of our business for that week.

This make the second time I've stayed here. Everyone and everything is so nice. Its in a perfect location with a quick 3 minute walk to Publix. And the convenience of having a bar/restaurants at the tips of your finger tips makes it so easy. You really never have to leave!

The location is phenomenal to the beach and to multiple quality restaurants. I recommend signing out a bike for the day and riding it around town. The pool is nice. I recommend if you have more than two people to get there before 10 AM so you could get some lounge chairs and an umbrella. The room was clean. Bathroom and shower also clean. Room is nothing fancy but if you’re staying in this close to the beach, I wouldn’t suspect you would be in your room very much anyways.

Ok so here are the pros and the cons: PROS: * amazing location * clean rooms ( but are in dire need of an upgrade) CONS: * bungalow rooms have almost zero space for belongings. No closet, no drawers for clothing. No space for toiletries. Do not expect to cook in kitchen very tiny electric burners, no oven. * we booked for 3 guests in the room and only were allowed 2 beach chairs, additional chair was 20.00 a day * there were many guests without wrist bands on the beach using beach chairs as well as in the adult only pool. Noone ever checked. This is a lack in security and safety. And they don't pay for use of beach chairs! They just walk over from other areas on the beach. * guests were smoking by the pool non stop, and Noone asked them to not smoke even though it is a smoke free area. * Housekeeping comes very late in the day, usually after 4pm *if you book a resort view room which we initially did, it was very unclear that you are not on the beach. You have to walk across the street to get to the pool and beach. We were very unhappy with this and for additional fees were able to change our room.
