All staff was extremely friendly, and accommodating when we needed something. The staff is this resorts biggest asset. The resort is not luxurious but if you are looking for a place to stay that is close to airport, about 20 minutes to the beach and is tidy this is a great spot. We stayed 4 nights, and would stay again on another quick trip to the area.

Not sure what the negatives reviewers experienced but my husband & I had a wonderful stay. From the delightful & friendly woman at check-in to the clean & quiet room at a very reasonable rate. I always enjoy staying in place that also have charm and the Golden Host Resort had that too - a cool vintage Florida feel. Would highly recommend!
