This will be our 7th year staying there while scalloping. We love it! Rooms are clean, the staff is lovely, and how can you say no to Monkey Island!? You're right on the water and Captain Jody is the best.

We were a couple visiting from Michigan.....did not realize until checking in that there was a fishing tournament being held on the property that week-end. Lot of people, nice size pool, great entertainment and food at both the Crab House and the Yardarm Lounge. Room #109 was large and very clean. The staff that we did interact with were very...

We wanted to simply see Monkey Island. It was an early morning visit for us, around 9:30 AM, and we didn't want to go up to the Monkey Bar at that time. And that is about the only way to see Monkey Island, unless you are on a boat. We did walk thru the bait/fishing shop to their docks, and...

We apologize if you did not get to enjoy the fantastic views of Monkey Island from our many pedestrian docks, waterfront walk ways with benches and picnic tables or views from our first and second floor dining areas. We hope you will come back another time to watch the antics of the monkeys and passing boaters or check out our...

The majority of the reviews are covering it. Remove expectations that you are receiving a $300 per night resort....you are not paying that price so be fair. Very nice place for the price. We will return. No issues. The food at all locales were Very Good and priced well. Drinks were Cheap. Pool was mint. Trails and bird life great....

My boyfriend surprised me with a stay here on a road trip through Florida for spring break, mostly because he knows how obsessed I am with primates. Needless to say, it was a win. Hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, and nothing beats waking up before sunrise to watch the spider monkeys stretch and crawl out of their house into...

If you are looking for a Marriot, this isn't it. The Riverside is nice, clean and in a great location--right on the river. In the morning you can walk the docks and see 10 different kinds of birds, see mullet jumping out of the river, and may even see a manatee swim by.
If you appreciate the quiet beauty of...

Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Much more fun staying here than at one of the chain motels out on the highway. Great access to kayak rentals, airboat rides and manatee tours.
Thank you for staying! We hope to see you soon.

We stayed at this property so we could enjoy a manatee swim nearby. Was extremely please with our accommodations. Husband and myself, we loved the facts that there were 2 large rooms, balcony and chairs and re had a riverside view. One room had 2 queen beds, bath and large flat screen tv with balcony access. The other room had...

I paid extra to have a view of the River, basically it was a view of their broken down pool. The toilet ran and the bathroom door didn't lock. There is not much to do at this place for kids. We did play alot on their sand volleyball court. The food at the restaurant was average and over priced. Skip...
