We stayed in a one bedroom suite prior to a cruise, using the park and cruise package. There were 4 adults in the room and there was plenty of space. The room was quiet and spacious. There was a mini-fridge and microwave as well as a coffee maker. We had two TV's since we had the suite. There is a small fitness center on site, which we did not use and a pool. People were swimming, though the water was still too cold for me! We did use the business center computer and printer, complimentary and my husband needed to send a fax, which the front desk staff were gracious enough to do without any problems.
Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Cookies are available at the front desk. Breakfast is included and was fine and filling. The staff working there were also very friendly.
The hotel was very close to the pier and the shuttle to the ship was great. Our driver, Dwayne was very personable and informative. He also picked us up when we returned. Our car stayed parked at the hotel for the duration of our 7 days cruise with no problems.
We ate supper the night before the cruise at Florida Seafood House (I think was the name), not too far from the hotel and it was excellent and an excellent value. We had twice the amount of food we normally get at seafood restaurants and our fried food was not the least bit greasy. Loved it!!
When we returned from the cruise, there seemed to be tons of people waiting on various shuttles, but just be patient and your driver will eventually get in there to pick you up. We came off the ship and were outside around 9:30 and were leaving the hotel in our car by 10:15. Be sure and keep your shuttle ticket (receive at check-in) as Dwayne will take that from you on the final pick-up day.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.
