Very quaint property, beautiful harbor and a great little restaurant in firefly, obviously families are welcome here and there were a few younger children around and younger children tend to run around, squeal and jump in the pool a lot... if this doesn't bother you then not a concern but if it does its something to be aware of.

Nice stay

There is 5% fee associated when you eat out to make up for wage increases. That’s not really fair- especially with what they charge for rooms and food/beverages. Beds were okay. Service was slow in the firefly but food was good when it got to us. The bartender was great ( shaved head gentleman) and quick. Beware of park view rooms. The park is very busy/active with people outside your door till late in the night. Paid extra for park view- will skip that next time and pay for Bayview. Also- they no longer have buffet for purchase like the pictures suggest.

The rooms are very clean and well furnished. We rented beach chairs and an umbrella at the front desk. Cost is $20 for two chairs and an umbrella. Came in handy for our afternoon at the beach. We went to the onsite restaurant. The cocktails were very good. We ordered chips with salsa and guacamole. Chips were stale. The wings were good and the pretzel was pretty good. I’d return for another stay. We could see the Seaworld fireworks show from our room. I’d return to this property for another stay!
