We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. It was an easy to get towels, chairs and umbrellas. The beach is right behind the hotel and takes less than a minute to walk there with a shower right off the beach entrance. Beach was clean and the water was so warm. The sun is intense, so bring a lot of sunscreen. It was a safe area, and we felt comfortable with our 2 teen girls going out on their own around the hotel area / beach.
You don’t need to rent a car. The shopping and restaurant area is a 5 minute walk from the hotel with plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. We took Ubers to/from the airport and they cost around $40 each way. I did take the Jolly Trolley the first day to Publix. It’s only $2.25 to ride one way, but the rotation of the trolleys is every 45 minutes. Use the app to time it right and see the location before you head out.
The only disappointing thing about the hotel was that they don’t recycle. Coming from an area where we recycle nearly everything, it did not feel right to throw plastic and cardboard into the trash.
Great place to stay and I would stay again.
