It's a balmy morning in Lantana, FL and I am packing my small travel bag for a 4-hour fishing…read moreexcursion with Bar Jack Fishing. Sunblock - check, Hat - check, water bottles - check, small towel - check and now I am ready. I've never been on this boat before, Lady K. I have no idea what it will be like. But I planned to have the morning off and just the thought of being out on the ocean was enough to get me to go, fish or not, I am going to have a good morning. I arrive and to my delight, there are only about 8 people on the boat, it's a Tuesday morning, and I know I will feel safe with lots of "social distancing." My only small concern in the fee went from $40 to $60 and when asked why I was told; COVID 19. OK, I get it, the boat's at 1/2 capacity and it's not like I have to add a new expense item to my weekly budget, but after today, I may just do that! We take off and the sky is so beautiful, the sun is up and the cloud formations are majestic. We are about 15 minutes out from the doc and I feel so happy being on the ocean in the fresh air; the ocean scent, the sun and warmth (it's not too hot yet) and the smooth ride is making my think of a why I came to Florida in the first place. Captain Frank and his first mate Bobby are out helping us get set up with bait and in my case rod and reel. I asked about the cost of my loaner, Bobby responded it would cost about $300 to replace. I held on even tighter at that point. We find our first spot, I am told to let it out all the way and hit the bottom, we are "drift fishing" which is simply letting the natural drift of the ocean and light wind move us along. People are catching fish! I apparently am feeding fish! My bait keeps disappearing in bites as they eat around the hook. Smart little buggers. I am an hour in and I get a hit! It's a big one, feels like a whale, but it's actually much smaller and it finds a way to get free before I pull him up. This happens now several times and I am pretty sure there's a sign on my hook that says "beginner" and the fish know it. Finally, I catch a sweet little yellow tail and I am so happy! It was almost the end of the trip so the timing was perfect. A delightful ride back to shore and Captain Frank offers to filet my fish for me. A few others didn't want their yellow tail so it became part of my take home. Later that evening, a scrambled egg, a little breading, a fresh lemon and a hot iron skillet was all I needed to have a memorable dinner. A great way to end a delightful day on the ocean. I will be back!

We were so disappointed by the condition of this hotel and the apparent attempt at repeatedly padding the room service and bar bills. We stayed for two weeks due to an insurance claim that left us without a livable home. We booked the suite because we both had to work from the room instead of out of our two home office. I must say that the valet, bellman and room service staff were exceptional, but I had to repeatedly ask for reverses on bills, rooms to be cleaned and more. Each time we ordered room service for breakfast we got more than we ordered or items were missing and were charged for it. I had to show management photos of issues for them to address it and though they put an english speaking person answering the phones, the double food and charging still continued. Austin, the server, had to repeatedly remove extra food, adjust bills, etc. The task of getting receipts was daunting and I had to ask management repeatedly to secure the room service bills to ensure that the credits were accurately billed. The bar needs to be watched as well. We are there twice for dinner and I order a glass of Pablo Rojas. When I checked the bill I was charge $24 instead of $18. When asked, the bartender stated that there were two on the menu. He never asked me which one wanted. This seems to be a common practice. The housekeeping was lacking. The room was infested with sugar ants and when I complained, I was told that they are difficult to manage because of the sugar on the coffee bar but did not rectify the issue. When we checked in I was walking the room with white socks and they ended up filthy.. I had to request that the floors be cleaned. There was also hair in the shower upon check in. We repeatedly had to request that our room be cleaned even though the assistant manager checked with me at check-in and we agreed that it would be cleaned every day at 10:15am. I never heard from him again. The coup-de-gras was our floor leaked and was getting the carpet wet. The first time I complained I was told that engineering has checked it out and that there were no pipes under the floor to create a problem. The carpet was left wet. I complained again and engineering came to our room twice again that evening and agreed that the floor was leaking, but they did not know from where. We lived with a wet carpet the entire time ( no shop-vac, carpet cleaning,). I had to ask management to replace our coffee cups with clean mugs instead of rinsing out and replacing. Housekeeping does not keep any clean glassware of mugs. They just rinse and return. I finally kept disposable cups and styrofoam coffee cups in the room....the sanitation is disgusting.
