We loved this place! It was the perfect place to bring kids. The pool was amazing… the shallow pool is great the littles and the bigger kids had a great time in the big pool. Snow cone shop is a great touch! Can’t wait to go back!

Dog friendly and relaxing
We stayed with our puppy and it was perfect! The room was dog-friendly and there was plenty of space for us to take her on and off leash. There was also a relaxing jetted hot tub as well as a wading pool, a lounging pool, and a swimming poll—all saltwater!

No, keep looking!
I don’t know how this “resort” has such high ratings! It it weren’t for the fact that we paid for the two days with our points from Hotels.com, we would have refused the room. The a/c, though set on 63, never cooled the room past 78! The only saving grace was the ceiling fan above the bed. Bathroom needs total makeover, tub had mold all around it and the sink was an odd gray color due to age. There wasn’t a fan or exhaust system in there so was very humid when showering. In the plus column, the water pressure was great and the room was quiet even with all rooms around us being occupied. Never will I ever book here again and we visit Port A several times a year.

The staff was easy to work with! They even called us to check on our ETA because a water line was busted on the road in front of their property. So the front entrance was blocked and they wanted to let us know. It was a 5 minute drive to the ocean and super close to several restaurants. We look forward to staying with them again next year!
