Key west vibes. The rooms have tile flooring. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. The staff were extremely friendly. Check in and out was a breeze. The pool was the perfect temperature. It wasn’t crowded. The tiki bar is located on the premises. You don’t have to leave for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We did not have a bad meal. There is a small swimming area (lake) with beach sand 4 miles from the hotel. Follow signs to the yacht club/beach. It’s the perfect size for a couple of hours of swimming without the crowds of Ft. Myers Beach. We had a relaxing weekend and will definitely come back.

If you have kids, doesn’t feel the most family friendly. We arrived in the late evening , lots of men walking around smoking that had clearly been drinking at the bar a few steps away. Plus with the band you will hear that awhile into the night. Also, no double sheets, just a comforter on top, who knows how often that gets washed.

The stay was nice. It's a much older hotel, and the breezeway on the far end needs to be painted. Also, going upstairs you have to look at the hot mess of old air conditioners on top of the no-longer-used building. The room was very clean and nice. The live music was LOUD but was tolerable because we knew it would end at 10 pm.
