This place is older but has a nice charm. Staff was friendly, room was clean, & the golf cart rental right next door gave us a little discount for staying there too. The pool & hottub were a bonus, but it closes early.

We really enjoyed the fact that we got a whole cottage with a kitchen and living room for the price of a regular hotel room. Pools were cool and had an attached snow cone shop. The place is older, so dont expect your room to look like the Hilton on the inside. We would definitely come back the next time we stay in Port A.

We loved this place! It was the perfect place to bring kids. The pool was amazing… the shallow pool is great the littles and the bigger kids had a great time in the big pool. Snow cone shop is a great touch! Can’t wait to go back!

Dog friendly and relaxing
We stayed with our puppy and it was perfect! The room was dog-friendly and there was plenty of space for us to take her on and off leash. There was also a relaxing jetted hot tub as well as a wading pool, a lounging pool, and a swimming poll—all saltwater!

Don't stay here if noise will be a problem. We could hear our neighbors entire conversation. The walls are thin. Other than that I feel like this will be the place I stay at from now on, I love the pool, hot tub and pool area. The beds were comfortable and the shower was nice. The lady at the desk was really kind and helpful. Its pet friendly. We paid a $50 pet deposit for 3 nights. Not bad.
