As an airline captain I’ve been to quite a few hotels. This one stands out. Upon arrival I was greeted by Josh and Michael in an extremely professional manner. Check in was easy and painless. These gentlemen were very kind and informative about the property and surroundings. When I got to my room it was spotless and cool. On a hot summer day that’s a big plus. As soon as I settled in, I received a text from the hotel staff opening a means of direct communication which I must say was above and beyond. I had a few questions and they were answered immediately. I wish I could give the guys 6 stars! And for breakfast Deion was absolutely amazing and pleasant and she took care of me quickly! Bravo! Thank you!

Will keep this simple and just list pros & cons. Pros - Rooms nice clean and modern, very nice pool area, nice gym and restaurants. That is where it all ends and why I will give it 2 vs 5 stars. Cons - Staff do not tell you all the hidden fees at check-in and you have to figure this out at the end of your stay. Self-parking is more expensive than valet parking and they do not tell you this. When in the pool if you enjoy getting kicked in the head several times, variety of types of balls thrown at you and people jumping over your head to dive in the pool than this is absolutely the place for you look no further. Pool rules sign is for decorational purposes only you do not have to follow them in any way shape or form. Pray you don't need security as they will do absolutely nothing. Rules are just a suggestion as long as they do not inconvenience management than you are good to go. Because of it's location to the cruise port traffic can get congestive at times trying to get to this hotel. Sometimes they clean your room sometimes they don't. I asked front desk they indicated service was daily when the room wasn't made up I went back and they than said that service was every other day

A night we won't forget, and not in a good way! We booked a balcony room overlooking the water as a relaxing place to watch fireworks and celebrate America's 250th birthday. This relaxing experience was quickly interrupted by the sounds of sirens, flashing blue lights and a swarm of armed police officers and military personel storming the area by boat, helicopters and patrol vehicles. We were quickly ordered inside our room at gunpoint where we hid on the floor between the bed and the wall, unsure what was happening right outside our door or if our lives were in danger. After about 30 minutes, things appeared to have calmed down some and we thought it was safe to exit the room. We decided to head down to the pool, to decompress after all the excitement. Wrong choice! For a second time, here comes the swat team in full tactical gear and guns drawn ordering everyone to leave the area. Come to find out there was an active shooter on the run, and someone had been shot on a yacht that was anchored in the marina directly in front of our room! So back to the room we go, mind you at this point we still had no idea what was actually going on. Since we weren't sure if it was safe to be
