Olde Marco Holidays from £722

The resort is under construction and what would have been a beautiful, peaceful beach experience was marred by the noise. Unsettling and disturbing would describe the feeling of laying out in lounge chairs at the beach. When I went to rent a paddle board I was told that the beach rental company, located on the beach at LaPlaya, had lost their contract with LaPlaya consequently they were not allowed to rent equipment to hotel customers. Although the hotel has a restaurant there is no dinning or shopping choices within walking distance. A car is a must. There are lots of choices off highway 41, several miles from the hotel. It wasn’t clear when I booked the hotel that a “Bay View” was not in the main building and was located across the street. Despite umbrellas being readily available, if it’s pouring rain, which it often does, you will get wet crossing the street. The hotel room was very quiet. It might have something to do with being located across the street from the construction. The bell service and housekeeping were exceptional. My room was impeccably cleaned each of the 6 days I spent at LaPlaya. There are 4 pools at the hotel. It would have been nice if at least one of them were adult only, screaming, crying children are not my thing. Our balcony was a shared public space. The hotel only offers valet parking at $44 dollars plus tax per day. I believe once the construction is completed the LaPlaya would be a more satisfying vacation.

Best resort/vacation I’ve ever had in Florida. Four pools a lazy river two hot tubs two bars and a restaurant. And the private island! We will definitely be back. The staff was beyond nice and courteous. Do not hesitate to book a stay here.

Location is great. Pool and beach access are essentials to any vacation. This property is well maintained although the rooms are a bit outdated. The valet staff and front desk were very kind. The mattress has a thick topper making it very soft which I’m not a fan of. On our last day they started construction on the floor above us at 9am which was not nice. We were never told about the renovations ahead of time. Call them to make sure it’s done before booking. Other than that we had a good time.
