The staff is very kind. Avoid the Tiki Tower. Book the Palm Tower. It’s beautiful. The resort is well kept but the Tiki Tower is not on par with the rest of the resort. That “Tower” has a 2-star hotel vibe. I made the mistake of booking the Tiki Tower. The room had a few issues and was overall just not what we were expecting. Thankfully we were able to move to the Palm Tower and it was much more in line with the quality and vibe we were expecting. The staff was very understanding and accommodating.

Great staff / service and at a level comparable to Four Seasons Luxury. Pros: 1. Good car building parking. 2. Auto EV chargers (4) at ~ 9kW ( trickle ) from Blink Charge. $0.24/kWhr ( $0.13 is lowest I have seen in Orlando and Tampa / Sarasota 3. Great service. 4. Two nice pools. 5. Amazing sand and sandy beach and good for safe family swimming with close adult supervision. 6. Great 8th floor restaurant with amazing “Gulf” and sunset views for dinner and a breakfast ( 7 am to 11 am ). Good Tiki bar and cafe. 7. Diesel generator on 3 third floor of garage and tested daily for 30 mins. 8. Circle shops within 0.70 mile and public Trolley stops at beach parking / bathrooms next door. Cons: 1. 2024 hurricanes (2) decimated outer barrier islands ( 2 - 4 feet in ground floor circle stores ) with salt-water-damaged vegetation damaged or dead. End :: End :

I’ll start by saying the staff at check in was very nice. I arrived very late and the hotel was at full capacity, so despite my room smelling horribly (unbearably) bad like mildew masked over with cleaner, I had to sleep there. They offered to put a machine in there that would help zap the smell, but it would be very loud and would take at least an hour or so. It was very late so that didn’t seem realistic. When I woke up and got out of bed I noticed 4 centipedes in different areas of my room crawling on the floor. Checked out immediately! The refunded me for 1/2 of my total, which I don’t think was acceptable given the state of the room and the fact that I spent 7 hours there total. It was clearly not a room suitable for guests. Feels very shady that I was charged at all for such a horrible experience.
