We stayed here for one night and they upgraded us into one of the lanai rooms with a view of the marina. Coming from a bad experience in Miami, I must say, this was wonderful....all around. Staff...facilities...food...coffee...room....shower...everything...absolutely loved it and wished I was staying for the whole week. The pool was great...yummy pina coladas. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! The pictures on the web depict exactly what you see in your rooms. Bear in mind that we were in a recently updated room so that is a question you might want to ask. We were not in the tower. I just got home tonight and I miss it already!

Views are great. Thats all. Everything else is bad and expensive.

This was a great hotel. It's more like a resort really because they have a huge pool, several hotels, gym, tennis and lots of manicured lawns and gardens.

We found ourselves hanging at the hotel all day while our son swam in the pool. At night we would go to the Pelican Landing restaurant for happy hour and dinner.

The only minus on this place is that there is nothing within walking distance if you want to get a cheap meal except for a Blimpie's.

If you don't have a rental car, taxis can really add up, but we easily avoided this. The only place we wanted to go was the beach for one afternoon. The ocean is about a mile away and not walking distance. I did run there every day though. The hotel has a shuttle to the beach.

Booked two rooms through Priceline, and I made sure to request 2 Tower Rooms through the hotel after being scared by the reviews I read. We were accomodated accordingly and the staff couldnt have been nicer during the 5 nights we were there. The pool was excellent. We only left it one day to check out the beach. The pool bar drinks are a little pricey, but that is to be expected. No problems with the room. Part of the balcony view was of the roof of the lobby, but was also of the huge drawbridge and the Marina, so it didnt bother us. Walk to the beach takes about 20 minutes or they have a shuttle every hour. Taxi's available almost all the time, which helped when heading out to dinner. No restaurants around the hotel, except their own. Pelican Landing has a small menu but the view is fantastic. I was traveling with 4 friends who are in their late 20's/early 30's and the only thing that could bother us was the hotel bar closing at 11pm. Overall, the hotel was excellent and I would stay again.
