We stayed here for 5 days for a family vacation and absolutely adored the area and aqua lodges. It was so beautiful and peaceful, the manatees swam up nightly and the area had gorgeous views. The lodges are roomy and kitchen area was perfect- nice that they provided kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, coffee mugs you name it. Whatever we needed was provided here. Staff is very friendly and helpful- easily and readily able to assist any questions we had. The cleaning crew even had our aqua lodge...

We stayed at this hotel several times. It is very nice, It’s nice that they have a separate area for adults. They also have 3 in house places to eat, a tiki bar for lunch, a roof top for breakfast and bar in the evening and a restaurant for dinner (didn’t go to this one though). They include free paddle boards and kayaks. The rooms could have better A/C, they added another portable fan and seem to be having issues with A/C, hopefully will be resolved soon. Also they don’t have room service...

It was very frustrating that during our cumulative total of eight days stay, seven nights, the housekeeping plan was to only clean our room one time and it was on the seventh night. When we asked about this three days in, they said OK we can probably fit in one cleaning for you midway through your stay but that will be the only one, if you desire any additional cleanings that will be $150 each. When they cleaned the room, I would hardly call it clean. That was a little bit frustrating. Beyond...

The cabinets had things to cook yourself a meal, and there was plenty of room to accommodate our 5 person party. It is an adorable place to stay for a long weekend.
