We really enjoyed the fact that we got a whole cottage with a kitchen and living room for the price of a regular hotel room. Pools were cool and had an attached snow cone shop. The place is older, so dont expect your room to look like the Hilton on the inside. We would definitely come back the next time we stay in Port A.

Don't stay here if noise will be a problem. We could hear our neighbors entire conversation. The walls are thin. Other than that I feel like this will be the place I stay at from now on, I love the pool, hot tub and pool area. The beds were comfortable and the shower was nice. The lady at the desk was really kind and helpful. Its pet friendly. We paid a $50 pet deposit for 3 nights. Not bad.

This place is older but has a nice charm. Staff was friendly, room was clean, & the golf cart rental right next door gave us a little discount for staying there too. The pool & hottub were a bonus, but it closes early.

Very outdated and disappointed

I was very disappointed with my stay. The online pictures looked great, but when we arrived, everything was old. The TV didn't work, and the wifi was very slow. The shower didn't have warm water; it was either cold or hot, with no middle ground. My bed covers had stains.

We loved this place! It was the perfect place to bring kids. The pool was amazing… the shallow pool is great the littles and the bigger kids had a great time in the big pool. Snow cone shop is a great touch! Can’t wait to go back!

Dog friendly and relaxing

We stayed with our puppy and it was perfect! The room was dog-friendly and there was plenty of space for us to take her on and off leash. There was also a relaxing jetted hot tub as well as a wading pool, a lounging pool, and a swimming poll—all saltwater!

No, keep looking!

I don’t know how this “resort” has such high ratings! It it weren’t for the fact that we paid for the two days with our points from Hotels.com, we would have refused the room. The a/c, though set on 63, never cooled the room past 78! The only saving grace was the ceiling fan above the bed. Bathroom needs total makeover, tub had mold all around it and the sink was an odd gray color due to age. There wasn’t a fan or exhaust system in there so was very humid when showering. In the plus column, the water pressure was great and the room was quiet even with all rooms around us being occupied. Never will I ever book here again and we visit Port A several times a year.
