The pool is large and relaxing with attendants available for ordering drinks and food but not in your face, such a pleasant change from many resort type properties.

The remodel of this beautiful property is spectacular, and the service at the front desk is even better. Katherine, George, and Joseph covered every question and request and went above and beyond every single time. Exceptional service and Joseph is a treasure.

Great time had by all but prices are exorbitant for Florida. We had a nice time and enjoyed the property and the surrounding area but food and beverage prices were insane. Nickle and diming at the breakfast was annoying. As a titanium member I get two adult breakfasts but was uncharged from my kids breakfast even though there wasn’t a second… Read more

Fabulous experience. We went so we could attend a baseball game at Tropicana Field with our home team The Orioles who won 6-3. The hotel and staff were wonderful. So many attendants at Valet parking. Willing to help. Joseph at the front desk was most helpful. The bloodline to your hotel operation is ofen found from the first impressions made upon check in. We loved the drink coupons and Sean at the pool. The service and banter was fantastic. Our food was yummy and came to us quickly. We didn't realize there was a breakfast buffet but we did try Pauls Restaurant for an early breakfast. Although there was a limited menu we enjoyed our meal. The rooms (2) were clean, cool and convenient on the Mezzanine. We were sso happy to get rooms next door to each other. wonderful post cards to take home and the soaps etc were very special. Every attention to detail was made for our comfort. I had stayed years ago beore the major remodel. It was a corporate meeting. I thought I had the wrong hotel. What a difference. So much nicer now.

Resort is beautiful - despite a few dated areas - and location is perfect. Lobby is especially impressive. Locker rooms in workout area could be better maintained, and steam room was not working at all and staff seemed unconcerned about getting it fixed.
