Nicht so toll
Pros:

Die Lage ist top.

Cons:

Das Restaurant ist ein Totalausfall. Wir waren am 2.6. im Innenbereich. Zwei junge Männer haben bedient. Total gleichgültig, ohne jeden Antrieb. Dafür Mondpreise.

Die Zimmereinrichtung ist alt, die Klimaanlage sehr laut und die Auszüge sind gefühlt aus den 80ern und Kinder bekommen allein die Tür nicht mal auf. Das Gitter innen ist für Kinder regelrecht gefährlich.

War von allen 5 Hotels, die wir in Florida genutzt haben, mit Abstand das schlechteste. Und Frühstück nicht mal inklusive.

Pros:

The staff was truly amazing, they made us feel right at home. Wasn't the most modern hotel, had that old Miami feel to it "I kind of liked it". Room is a descent size, it was myself and my adult daughter so was a great fit for us, 4 people can fit might be a bit tight though. They provided us with beach towels for free. location is awesome right across the street from the beach. We truly had A wonderful stay.

Cons:

Nothing really.
