The jitneys were to run continuously from Icona in Diamond Beach to Reeds in Stone Harbor from 5pm to 10:30pm. (1) The jitneys arrived on time and early, and both were running while waiting for the first bus to fill. As it left, myself and guests on the jitney noticed it was not cool and asked the AC to be turned up. The driver, who barely spoke English, mentioned it was as high as can be, and because of the heat we needed to wait for it to cool down. Needless to say, it did not. As I and my guests got off the jitney, we were drenched in sweat because the AC never worked. I called the office and they assured me nothing was wrong and things would be fine. It never got better and the jitney never cooled down. (2) The continuous run between locations did not happen. One group of guests sat on the jitney at Icona for an hour waiting for the driver to leave, arriving to the event an hour and a half late because the driver wound not leave. (3) The AC Jitney Association culminated with the jitney that had the AC problem breaking down on the ride back to Icona at the end of the night. My guests were stranded on the side of the road for an hour waiting for the 2nd jitney to come get them. Police had to move the jitney to the side so it would not block traffic on a Friday evening. I contacted AC Jitney Association that night, the next day, and through email the week after the event and the problems, and NO ONE ever contacted me back. I paid $1000 for 2 jitneys, and only 1 was serviceable. No response from the company at all. I should have had the credit card company block payment, but I acted too late. Needless to say this experience will should be known to others who think they are contracting with a reputable company ... they are NOT, at least in my experience.

I stopped there with my friends, coincidentally the same friends as last year and this year. Last year, we stopped for food for my friend. He went to Burger King. We were bored and wanted to hang out for a while there, and we found the wall about Celia Cruz's life very interesting. I loved reading about her early years and seeing her famous outfit, which they had on display. We played around with the screen that showed many of the famous people from NJ and pulled up their selfies. We took a picture with Danny DeVito, which was actually a real-life-sized selfie of him. The rest stop also has a row of massage chairs that you can pay for to use for a few minutes. We didn't use those, but that is a great idea to offer at a rest stop. We ended our time trying to win stuffed animals in the claw machine, and on my turn, the claw accidentally picked up three animals together. So we each took one and took a picture with it. This time, we found out that the Dunkin' Donuts stays open 24 hours, to my surprise, and I got a matcha latte. My friend got a meal from Burger King again, and to carry on the tradition, we took a picture with Danny DeVito again! The bathrooms were also very clean. This is a really nice rest stop, and to me it stands out from some of the others.

I interacted with three or four of the staff during my visit and they were all friendly and efficient. They offer free coffee and tea all day,(including iced coffee) and cookies. There's a continental breakfast served in a cute basket. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I thought the prices were fair, particularly as it's going into their high season. I have some mobility issues, so was looking for an accessible room. Room 106 is listed as accessible with a walk in tub, but I'm not sure I'd classify it as really accessible. It's a largish room, but they have replaced the walk in tub with a traditional tub. I don't recall seeing a bath seat, but not 100% sure about that. I had originally booked this room, and when I said I would have trouble with getting in and out of a regular tub, they immediately offered me another room, which was actually an upgrade. Many of the rooms have separate showers, but they aren't roll in. You need to step up slightly to get in the shower. I enjoyed staying in the Village and did some fun shopping and had some good meals. The employees on the property were very friendly. I'll definitely be back.

She accommodated our requests honestly went over and above to make sure our stay was the best it could ever be and it was .

On my father's birthday there was knock on our room door and Shannon has left us a basket with different treats from the village. Red wine cheese spreads chocolate truffles wine glasses in beautiful basket with a big red bow. I opened the door and see this I start literally crying how beautiful it was with the Christmas lights in the background plus our room being on the water it just was a movie set. My mom still talks about it and I can't express it enough how grateful and thankful I am for this memory. Shannon you truly did that for us .

It was easy to work with John arranging logistics for the trip. His boat was clean and his mate (Mike) is a professional experienced fisherman. Mike picked a great spots for trolling and shared his experience with us as we caught fish. I was very happy he cleaned the fish too!! We learned about the local wildlife, both animal and human, plus he shared recommendations for a great spot to hydrate and another to chow. Both of us had a great time and recommend booking a trip with John anytime you are in the area.
