Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently appreciate the hotel's modern and clean environment, with some finding the rooms spacious and well-equipped with a refrigerator and microwave. The rooftop pool is a highlight for many. The hotel's proximity to the ports for cruises and the Tecco Line is a definite advantage, and a Publix is conveniently located nearby; however, a few guests have mentioned issues with the softness of the beds. Breakfast is frequently described as very good.

The staff were great. they were so accommodating and kind! the pool is fabulous. breakfast is yummy too. I had eggs every morning.

The room had two walls of windows. there wasn't enough coverage, so the room lit up at sunrise. the bed was awful. It was too soft and i slept on the love seat. pictures show how bright the room was at 7:00 am. i had a difficult time falling asleep.
