Resort is ok. Meghan at front desk is awesome! The hotel is old but pretty clean. Tiki bar is really loud in the afternoons when the music starts. Had or room windows and art on our walls rattling for hours. Pool is right next to public bar so only feels usuable in morning. Otherwise you're the bars entertainment besides the live music. Food was ok. Works when you dont want to go out. A little pricy. Hotel is very reasonably priced. Would recommend rooms need updating badly. Music from bar toned down just a bit.

Key west vibes. The rooms have tile flooring. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. The staff were extremely friendly. Check in and out was a breeze. The pool was the perfect temperature. It wasn’t crowded. The tiki bar is located on the premises. You don’t have to leave for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We did not have a bad meal. There is a small swimming area (lake) with beach sand 4 miles from the hotel. Follow signs to the yacht club/beach. It’s the perfect size for a couple of hours of swimming without the crowds of Ft. Myers Beach. We had a relaxing weekend and will definitely come back.
