Rooms and hot tub are perfectly clean. You come here for the destination. A few of the buildings are no longer functional, and amenities like bar are no longer. But the adventure center and pool were great.

Very friendly staff and great service. A very nice place a a bargain rate. A large amount of construction and room smelled a little musty are my only complaints. Enjoyed continental breakfast, the fitness center and kayak launch from the property was a huge bonus. I would come back for sure

Hotel was under repair/refurbishment from hurricane damage. The restaurant, pool, and other amenities were closed. I would have appreciated knowing the hotel status before arrival.
