We were in town for a tournament at IMG and the hotel is 12 min away - extremely convenient location, also 10 min from all grocery stores. The staff was amazingly welcoming and the place was spotless. Would definitely choose it again.

The room was great, the staff wonderful. We enjoyed the little tiki bar had some wonderful bloody Mary’s for breakfast. The only unfortunate was the weather was too cold to go in and swim, which would’ve been fun. We will definitely visit again.
