A blast from the past. We’re here for the 3rd and 4th of July, so our plan was to get our own private little spot on the beach without the hustle and hassle of getting all your own beach stuff like chairs, umbrellas, parking, beach spots, etc but I’m kind of doubting everything now. Firstly the sand over on this side of lido is totally different than 400 meters away north up to the public beach. This isn’t the hotels fault but I’m just saying, for future travelers. The hotel itself is about to collapse. We were lucky enough to have The amenities working like AC, hot water, coffeemaker, fridge etc but everything else is quite gross like the carpets and bathroom. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing I am saying I’m lucky to have amenities _. The absolute WORST part is the blankets. It’s like a weird fleece sandwich blanket. A sheet, a fleece in between, and a sheet on top. So if you turn your body any certain way - good bye comfort! _Anyway, the pool is nice and the balcony has a nice view? It is kid friendly because there’s elevators and kiddie pool. The staff is helpful and nice though. It’s good that I can speak some spanish.

Terrible experience Hotel with very old facilities. Very uncomfortable beds. The lamps in the room were not working, I request the repair, a boy went to the room and left without having repaired. They did not even offer to change rooms. A disregard for the customer. I do not recommend!!

Old Florida Charm with Everything You Need Exceeded my expectations. I came here with my two kids and we had everything we needed and more at a reasonable price. Our room was fantastic. We could eat breakfast and immediately walk to the beach. Then jump in the pool and have lunch after. Free water all day and towels. The chairs and umbrellas at the beach kept us comfortable. Yes it’s old and it’s definitely not perfect. But if you were raised on old Florida charm then this place has a warm and inviting vibe. I felt very safe and they helped me give my kids a great stay!

Worst experience ever This experience was a one star there were roaches _ and pee stains on the bed and poo stains on the curtains and the shower looks like it had mold not only that the air conditioner wasn’t even working the temperature in the room was at 80 the whole night

Worth it! I was skeptical because of the bad reviews, but let me tell ya! My husband and my parents just left this place and were sad to go! Yes, the place is old, but I heard it best from one of the staff, “we might be ugly but we’re clean!” The staff here are exceptional and very accommodating, every one of them! The food was great, bottled water is free, chairs/umbrellas free too! But the beach? Oh my gosh! So pretty and clear, it’s just beautiful. Kudos to everyone that works there and made our stay the best!
