Grundsätzlich kein schlechtes Hotel, für das eine tägliche Resort fee bezahlt werden muss. Für ein Margaritaville-Hotel
Pros:

Es war alles sauber aber eigentlich kein Unterschied zu Best Western Hotels. Das Frühstück war für amerikanische Verhältnisse relativ gut, aber nichts besonderes. Wenigstens gab es echtes Geschirr und kein Plastik. Die Nähe zu Anna-Maria Island ist natürlich ein positiver Aspekt.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr klein. Das Personal ist insgesamt sehr unfreundlich. Außerdem muss man zusätzlich eine tägliche Resort fee in Höhe von 25 Dollar plus Tax bezahlen, die aber nicht gerechtfertigt ist.

WE LOVED THE PLACE AND WE WANT TO COME BACK
Pros:

We loved the smell at the lobby, the staff and the pool was the plus !!!!! My mother that has almost 70 up, she loved and felt very comfortable there.

Cons:

I thought the lobby will have some free snacks during the day (it was advertised in their webpage) and it was just the water.

Pros:

The staff, the cleanliness, the common areas, and the room.

Cons:

Breakfast time is a bit disorganized—the food and utensils run out, and there is no one around to keep them replenished. On my last day, at 9:00 AM, I could only eat eggs and potatoes because everything else was gone; and I had to eat with a spoon, as there were no forks or glasses left for juice.

Okay, maar had er meer van gehoopt.
Pros:

Goede ligging

Cons:

Smoezelig hotel. Ontbijt zaal was vies, veel dode vliegen, vieze tafels. Veel van het ontbijt was leeg/op of koud.

Eigenlijk is het best jammer. Want het is een mooi hotel, mooie inrichting, je ziet dat het personeel zijn best doet maar je merkt dat het management beknibbeld op de verkeerde dingen. Omdat je veel betaald zeg €200 per nacht. Vind ik dat je ook kritisch mag zijn gezien de locatie goed is maar niet uitzonderlijk.
