This hotel had absolutely everything we wanted. Beautiful pool, very easy access to a private beach, lovely towel service, terrific and dedicated staff in facilities, bartending, cleaning of the main parts of the hotel. The restaurant was onsite perfect and bar/resto exceptional for easy drinks, snacks by the pool, and enjoying the full day outside. This hotel is in a great location on Long Boat Key. We didn't have a car and were able to uber to St. Armand's Circle for shopping and Amelia's Island for beaches/change of scenery.
