I can't say more positive things about these two. They have a great sense of humor and an even better playlist. It is easy to be nervous because the boat has people you don't know but the boat is big enough to social distance, but you might not want to. By the time we got back to shore I had laughed and toasted with new people and connected with my friends. Cool beans allowed us to let loose, sit in front of one of the biggest ships on the island watch the dolphin pods, laugh and drink until sunset. we want to go again today that's how good it was. If you are looking for an epic trip with great captains and endless laughs, cool beans are the way!

The kids were lucky to drive the boat a bit, and they were good sports with the older teenagers too. We saw lots of dolphins, and swam to an island beach where there were tons of shells. Kyle recommended a nearby restaurant for afterwards that was delicious too. This was the highlight of our trip!

Thanks for the cool photo Kyle!

I was skeptical, due to the variety of reviews, but overall I really enjoyed my stay here…read more I requested a second floor room after reading reviews and looking at photos, and was given a perfect spot. Middle of the building, view of the pool and palm trees. I'd say pretty spectacular for a cheap hotel. I also wasn't sure what to expect when it came to the room, some reviews mention newly remodeled, and some mention cramped, dated and just down right bad. I was delighted to see my room was great! Everything felt updated and clean. It is simple, but exactly what's needed for a beach getaway. Air conditioning worked GREAT, water pressure in the shower was AWESOME (better than most high end hotels I've been to), bed, sheets and pillows were comfortable; and the tv was big, balcony was nice to sit out on. Breakfast buffet is situated next to the pool - which makes for an elevated experience compared to your average hotel lobby breakfast. Notes for improvement: Only one set of towels was provided. Front desk staff was a little rude, but in the end helpful.

This is going to sound like a broken record based on previous reviews. During my stay last month,…read morethe faucet in the tub area was broken. When I told them they did move me to another roon but there no empathy nor an apology. The couch in the new room had more that 10 areas where the cover had been torn and the stuffing was visible. The carpet was filthy and coming up in 2 spots. I had stayed here previously a few years ago but now its no longer worth staying here Based on the fact that they don't respond to reviews and/or comments shows that ownership doesn't care.

The Resort like entrance and Lobby were impressive. Upon check in we were offered a glass of Champagne and Concierge was great providing recommendations. Our room was in the main building which was great as it was on the top floor and the balcony faced the pool. Spacious room with a king size bed and the bathroom was roomy with a separate shower and tub sadly one vanity sink and lighting in the bathroom needs help. The king size bed was a bit hard and after one night it was a bit rough, thankfully if you request it the hotel does have mattress topper that makes it so much better. The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly and courteous. There are 2 ( The London Club & The Claw Bar ) restaurants located in the hotel and I ate in both. Reservations can be made in the hotel and Open Table. The food was good unfortunately both restaurants have the same menu. There is a 3rd ComplimentaryComplimentary(sister) restaurant associated with the hotel - Syrens's which is located a few blocks away and easy to get to with complimentary shuttle service within a 3 mile radius. The hotel also has Complimentary use of the bicycles parked in front of the hotel.

We got a glass of champagne each but there is no reason to hang out at the lobby esp with a 4 year old and our car out front so we were chugging them before getting to our room. It would be nice if it was a small mini bottle of prosecco you could just take to your room maybe as an option? The lady that checked in was good. The lady that gave us our champagne seemed she did not want to be bothered with giving it to us . (Then don't offer) We reserved a 1 bedroom suite and it was very spacious for the 3 of us, we were with our 4 year old. Lovely set up. It was very clean and we enjoyed eating our breakfast in the lanai. Good size dining area that we did not use. Comfy bed. Pool was great, not too crowded. We loved the free shuttle service to get to wherever you want in a certain mile radius including the beach (parking is limited for Naples beach) . They have beach chairs , towels , and umbrellas to use. They even offered beach toys but we brought our own. The drivers we had were great and even shared perfect suggestions for what to get for dinner at their sister restaurant. (See my review for their offsite Syren restaurant) . We got a 20% discount card to use at Syren and their onsite restaurant which was nice! I wish the hotel offered room service especially since they have a restaurant onsite or atleast was open for earlier breakfast. Think they did not open till 11am . While we enjoyed breakfast in our lanai, we had to order via Grubhub which took a bit. There was no ice in the ice machine unfortunately. I did appreciate all the k cups & cold creamer! Oh and there was a horrible smell in the elevator. Could not explain it and it was there for our whole stay. Bottom line, great hotel for its space, cleanliness, pool and free shuttle service. Location is great for proximity to restaurants, shops and beach! We got the FL resident rate so feel it was worth it. View was just of other lanais and walk way/greenery so nothing special there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
