Unfortunately this the photos made it look nice and new. It was the opposite. It was old and in need of a major update and renovation. When we checked in, our room was hot; the AC was running and back door was open. The rooms had dehumidifiers due to how old everything was and the ACs not running properly. The properly just didn’t look like the photos posted

Needs a facelift

We checked in and got to our room on the 2nd floor which had a very musty odor. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom and felt a drop of water on my neck. I looked up to see that the ceiling was cracked and leaking. We reported this to the front desk and they changed our room. Now we weee on the 1st floor. The toilet had debris or stain in it. We told the front desk and they sent someone to check it. It seemed to be some kind of paper that had gotten stuck. We stepped outside to the patio and it was very untidy. The chairs were dusty and the small table dirty. We cleaned them and enjoyed a little rest before going out to the pool. The grounds were very pretty and you could tell that this place had been a beautiful resort once. It has a lot of catching up to do. The staff from front desk to tiki bar to maintenance were all great, which is why we overlooked some things. We washed up only using the sink because the bath tub surface was horrible. Room 128. Also they must have a very big issue with mold as there was a humidifier in the room. Interior doors leading from the different wings to the lobby were shabby. The rooms we saw seemed to have been newly decorated and very nice.

Storm stay

The service was amazing but we stayed during the storm so all facilities were flooded and our purpose for the trip (manatees) couldn’t go ahead. Not the hotels fault but due to this is couldn’t rate the facilities.
