A 4.5 rounded up to a 5 star location. You really can’t beat the location, the boardwalk isn’t too long and there’s a little shuttle that’ll drive you up and down. The indoor pool is heated but kind of small so on the rainy days it was very crowded. The outdoor pool with the bar felt much more relaxing vacation pool and less community center indoor pool.
The kitchen is pretty well stocked in terms of cookware, we made a lot of our meals and the only thing I found myself wanting was a muffin tin. The best part of this unit for me was the included beach accessories. Having an umbrella with the corkscrew bottom was so helpful; and the wagon made carting three chairs, towels, an umbrella, and toys a much easier task. The cart doesn’t push easily on the loose sand so it helps to have someone pull as you push. Cocos has great food and smoothies, my kids went nuts over their chicken tenders. There’s plenty of places to leave your beach stuff while you eat or grab something to go.
The resort overall felt a bit dated, not necessarily in a bad way but it was noticeable. The lamps in the unit were kind of dusty and a few bathroom fixtures were loose, I felt like I was always being extra cautious to not knock a towel rack off the wall.
I loved the views, you’ll probably get to see several alligators in the water around the resort, huge perk for me but I know not everyone gets excited about wildlife like that.
Overall I really enjoyed our stay and I would stay here again
