“Great view and atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

We had a great room with a private balcony overlooking the ocean. I had no complaints with the room as it was in great condition, comfortable, and there was a convenient nail salon on the bottom floor.

The only con is that there isn't direct beach access from the hotel, but it is a short walk away down the road :)

Be sure to try the Bloody Mary from the hotel's restaurant!

Room Tip: Higher floor for better view of ocean

“Holiday Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

Stayed for a few days pre-cruise. Lovely hotel and made an ideal start to our holiday.
The pool is right by the water and very relaxing. Great food and drinks in Jimmy Iguanas.
Would definitely stay here again

“Really a 4 plus”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Check in was flawless and I was upgraded to a suite as a priority club member. The setting is beautiful as is the pool and restaurant deck. Only a very short walk to be on the beach. No complaints. I would not hesitate to stay again.

“Yet another fantastic stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

We stayed here from November 23rd and checked on November 25th. We were greeted by Judy(from Manhattan, NY) at the front desk. Her superb attitude started that stay on the right foot. She gave us all kinds of great tips places to eat, along with coupons for same. We are regulars and she acknowledged that immediately. We are regulars for a reason. The TLC that we receive from everyone from front desk personnel to housekeeping personnel and everyone in between is why we keep coming back! The property is well cared for inside and out. The rooms are excellent and the extra little touches that the housekeeping personnel provide always amaze us and put smiles on our faces. Checking out was a breeze with Joan and Vilma! We have our week vacation already booked to stay here between Christmas and New Years! If you are looking for a great hotel, where you are treated like family, priced right for everything you get (gulf front - steps from the best beach around), this is the place to stay! You will not regret it!

Room Tip: If you want spectacular sunsets and an occasional dolphin meandering by - ask for the gulf front roo...
