Best surprise on my vacation!
This is an older hotel which has been remodeled. The pics were not updated when I selected the hotel as a stop over our vacation down to disney. I was very surprised!!! The staff was great and the rooms were very nice and clean. I expected a 2 or 3 star place from their web entry, but was surprised to find at least a 4 star. Their restaurant was top line and the location cannot be beat!! Right next on the beach!

Nice Hotel
Restaurant very pricey. Room comfortable, but over decorated. Huge tub in bedroom, not requested. Could have been better use of space. Balcony overlooking pool area very nice. Hardly any view of beach. Staff and lobby very good.

Beautiful hotel, with it's old Spanish decor.
The only thing that I found a little dissapointing was the balcony that I paid extra for (2nd) floor. You barely get a glimp of the ocean from it, I guess that you might get a better view from the top (4th) floor. But overal my wife and I loved the and will stay again.
