The carpet was wet when you walked into the room for the first 4 - 5 feet and smelled of mold and mildew. They neither checked on it or offered to change our room. The inside of the lightweight curtains on the window had many gnats and the area in and around the property was filled with gnats. The food at the restaurant was very good though and their service was very good. We left congested because of the smell of mold in the room and left at 4 am due to not being able to sleep because of it. We reminded the front desk of the wet carpet issue when we left and they gave the response that they would pass it on.

Pool is very nice. Small beds and paper thin walls- very loud air conditioner- that being said- we stay here often- so convenient to visiting with our friends who have a houseboat in the marina

Very dated hotel. Needs to be upgraded. Smelled musty. Room and hallway were very dark. Needs more lighting in room and hallway, fresh white paint would help, remove dark carpeting.

The one staff member was very nice, busy? C but working hard. The interior was very clean. A bit outdated style wise but quaint and clean. The grounds were run down/not well maintained. It didn’t help that a massive storm had knocked down several trees/canopies days prior. But other area also weren’t maintained.

A disaster in a once beautiful location

Don’t believe the pictures on the booking page. This place could not have looked that good for years now. Thanks to recent storms , The grounds are a mess. The patio was inaccessible because a big (ugly) party tent covering it had collapsed. The hotel’s private beach was closed and its shabby palm umbrellas clearly hadn’t been replaced in ages. The lily pond was full of algae and trash. The larger water feature was drained and green and smelled ‘like a pig farm’ per the employee we overheard calling the office. Inside: Pool water was foggy and I didn't want to immerse myself in it! Gym was out of order. Bar food was greasy and so overpriced. Complimentary weekday breakfast was muffins, bagels, or choice of 3 cold cereals. Halls were dark and stuffy. Couldn’t take a bath because a gross adhesive mat had been stuck to the bottom: totally unhygienic. Only pros: bedding and mattresses were good. Young staff tried very hard to be friendly and helpful. Cocktails were good. We checked out after 1night and got refund. This place clearly needs more capital investment to get to an acceptable standard. Such a shame because the location is really nice. This place shouldn’t be allowed to use those old photos from a happier time; shouldn’t be listed here as far as I’m concerned.

Could be a bit better if wifi service was available as sone of us work while away. And corporate should rethink their restaurant prices versus what they offer. Ive been here 2 times and enjoy the place very much, my kid loves it
