It was such a fun trip and we loved the room. The balcony view was perfect. The staff was so very nice too! I think his name was Bradley, but he was funny and nice. The only thing was that we had a hard time finding a parking place coming back to the hotel after going out. Other than that it was perfect and we will be back!

This place was GREAT. The room was perfect with balcony with chairs, plenty of towels, soft bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. Pool area was great and the food in the cafe was good but not great. Location is great for going to Rainforest Cafe, and the beach is a very short walk. Would book this hotel again. The only disappointment was you pay a high price for the room but not happy they make you pay extra to park🤔
