I thought I reserved a room with a sofa couch. They offered a rollaway bed but this was not comfortable for my daughter. There were no rooms available like this so I had to take another room that was oceanfront but was charged $100 upgrade fee. The staff were very friendly about this but I didn’t think I should be charged. I will be sure to confirm all this before I take another trip. Overall experience was ok.

The location was perfect. Centrally located, making trips north and south along the key easy. We were able to quickly go to Sarasota or Ana Maria. The private beach was great. It would have been better without the uncharges for umbrellas and additional lounge chairs. Only 2 lounge chairs per room when a room holds 4 people. Restaurant service was slow, we had breakfast the first morning which was just ok. All other meals were out on the island. Some very good options. Try, Whitney’s, Dry Dock Grill or the Sage Biscuit. All were good. The front office, housekeeping and valet/ bell staff were friendly and helpful.
