My wife and I spent three nights at Tween Waters and had a great time. The only thing I could mention that needs improving are the restaurants. We had dinner at Old Captiva House for New Years Eve.

There was a piano, a tad loud to permit casual conversation if you were seated near. Food was quite good but on the high end price-wise. We all had fish and it was wonderfully fresh. You can find cheaper restaurants... More
