The hotel offers a beautiful environment with great boating opportunities and nature experiences, including manatee watching. However, the condition of the rooms and dining options left much to be desired, with overall maintenance and cleanliness issues prevalent. While the pool area is nice, the additional fees for parking and amenities feel unreasonable given the overall experience.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms seemed mostly clean but are in need of renovation and updating. Upon arrival, mine was dirty, and the one I stayed in had a rocking and leaking toilet, which was far from sanitary.
Service
5.0
The service was hit or miss; while some staff were friendly, the front desk did not seem to handle issues well, particularly during check-in. The lack of effective communication from housekeepers was notable.
Location

The hotel's location by the river is fantastic for boating and enjoying nature, but it is somewhat marred by the overall condition of the resort.
Dining

Dining was a letdown, especially breakfast, which included cold food and store-bought pastries. Dinner fared better for some dishes, but overall, it lacked variety and quality.

The grounds are spacious, and the pool is nice, though it became cloudy and needed cleaning after just one day. The Tiki bar was busy but served standard fare.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, enjoying the scenic beauty and fun activities. The rooms were mostly comfortable and clean, but there seemed to be room for improvement in maintenance. The location was perfect for boaters and nature lovers, while the dining options could use a boost. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, although the management needs to pay more attention to room conditions.

Our stay at the resort was an interesting mix of negatives and positives. The location was absolutely stunning, allowing for easy access to manatee tours, which were a highlight of our trip. While the staff at the restaurant provided exceptional service and the live music events were enjoyable, our room left much to be desired-particularly in terms of cleanliness and furniture quality. Overall, the resort has the potential to be much better with some improvements.

I had high hopes for this hotel, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. While the spacious rooms were a plus, the dated bathrooms desperately need updating. The location was decent, but the overall experience was marred by the poor maintenance and lackluster service. Eating at the restaurant was underwhelming. I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

I had a really enjoyable stay overall at this hotel. The location is fantastic for water activities, and the outdoor amenities like beach volleyball and corn hole were great fun. However, we did encounter some issues with parking due to the boat ramp, and our room lacked a safe which was a bit inconvenient for storing valuables during our water sports activities.
Rooms

The room was pleasant and clean, offering a nice view across the lawn to the river. However, it lacked a safe which was a bit annoying for my partner due to our water sports plans.
