We just returned from 4 days at this hotel. The hotel is beautifully decorated and clean. The pool is amazing and so relaxing to sunbathe with a view of the gulf and tropical music playing in the background. There is a nice veranda to relax on the back of the hotel. Gift shop was small but nice. We ate at... More
