Super rad motel! Perfect Florida weather. Nice manicured grounds. The TV was a color set and could tune into all five channels. Had an excellent time out at the pool, but the slide, the slide was easily the best!! Don't forget your sun screen!
8.0
My wife and I spent a week here for our honeymoon! The room was like a fantasy come true with world class linens, hot showers, and incredible room service. We lounged in our private Cabana at the pool during the day, sipping frozen drinks and listening to an authentic calypso band. We enjoyed relaxing spa services including couples massages and mud baths. The dining was world class, and the entertainment was phenomenal. Conveniently located across the street from the Palmetto metro bus terminal.
