Key west vibes. The rooms have tile flooring. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. The staff were extremely friendly. Check in and out was a breeze. The pool was the perfect temperature. It wasn’t crowded. The tiki bar is located on the premises. You don’t have to leave for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We did not have a bad meal. There is a small swimming area (lake) with beach sand 4 miles from the hotel. Follow signs to the yacht club/beach. It’s the perfect size for a couple of hours of swimming without the crowds of Ft. Myers Beach. We had a relaxing weekend and will definitely come back.

If you have kids, doesn’t feel the most family friendly. We arrived in the late evening , lots of men walking around smoking that had clearly been drinking at the bar a few steps away. Plus with the band you will hear that awhile into the night. Also, no double sheets, just a comforter on top, who knows how often that gets washed.

The stay was nice. It's a much older hotel, and the breezeway on the far end needs to be painted. Also, going upstairs you have to look at the hot mess of old air conditioners on top of the no-longer-used building. The room was very clean and nice. The live music was LOUD but was tolerable because we knew it would end at 10 pm.

I debated posting this review because I never leave negative reviews, but this experience was beyond words. We arrived at the hotel and the staff was very friendly. That was about as far as the good comments go. We entered the room to find that the previous guests food was not removed from the mini fridge. Gross but the rest of the room seemed pretty clean. It wasn't until I took a shower I found out how dirty the place really was. I placed towels on the floor for stepping out and when cleaning later I noticed the bottom of the towel (the part facing the floor) was absolutely filthy. We had just arrived and placed our shoes by the door so I know that we didn't dirty it. There was also very little lighting in the room. One of the few lamps had a broken cable. The true nightmare was trying to get a good night's sleep. I understand it's a party community but the music from the bar was absolutely blaring. I took a video of the sound from the bed. The music ran later then advertised as well. So we tried to push past it and watch some TV. Well that didn't work out either because the TV has a glitch where many colors showed as a staticey purple. We eventually went to bed, however an hour later... The smoke alarm battery died. The room had a peak and the alarm was unable to be accessed without a ladder. The true problem was that the lobby closed at 5pm. So there was no one to fix it to our knowledge. When put in earbuds and pushed through.

Really enjoyed staying there. The manager that was working the desk, can't remember her name, was super nice and helpful. My only complaint is that the mattress was to firm. Great location with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The Tiki Hut that butted up to the property made it fun. Will go back when in the area.
