Pros:

The room was beautiful and very clean, and the rooftop/pool area was really nice. I also loved that beach chairs and umbrellas were provided for free at the beach as part of the stay package.

Cons:

Did not love the "security deposit" I had to pay at the beginning of my stay. It was refunded, but was I charged an extra $100 per night upfront, which added a level of unnecessary stress to my stay.

Das Hotel passt perfekt zum Ocean Drive feeling!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt perfekt am Ende des Ocean Drive. Strassenlärm war nicht wahrzunehmen. Das Hotel ist sehr stillvoll eingerichtet. Die Chefin, wie auch das Personal waren sehr freundlich. Wenn man mit dem Auto ankommt, wird dieses abgeholt und weiter weg geparkt. Man kann es sich aber jeder Zeit wieder bringen lassen. Am Strand stehen einem zwei Liegen mit einem Sonnenschirm kostenlos zur Verfügung. Wir waren am Beginn unserer Florida Rundreise 2 Nächte und am Ende der Runde wieder 2 Nächte im Hotel und haben das keinen einzigen Tag bereut. 100% zu empfehlen!!!

Cons:

Practical
Pros:

The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. It’s 5 minutes walk from the beach. The Wi-fi actually works in this hotel compared to other 5-star hotels. The main restaurant down stairs had excellent breakfast, main course and desert.

Cons:

The light+ventilation sensor in the bathroom was behaving strange. The light was turning on and off randomly. For a short stay it wasn’t that annoying.
