"Very friendly staff. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The only negative was the hot tub wasn’t working during our stay. They said they had to replace the heating element in it. Great location with lots of Activities and tours on site. We took a sightseeing boat tour of Kings Bay, And also took a semi-private swim with the manatees tour. It did not disappoint."
