So much to do onsite and nearby area. Beach within walking distance. Staff were wonderful and caring. Went the extra mile to send milk and cookies to my son on his birthday after he fell and broke his arm while on vacation.

Try to reserve a room in the tower or on the cove side. Keep in mind the exterior side is overlooking the public beach and there is a lot of traffic noise. Our original room was moldy and in disrepair. Customer service was great about switching rooms. The cabanas on the cove side were lovely.
