10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Everything. Rooms are clean, view is amazing, fresh towels are given twice a day, nice location and food in this resort is the best on all Clearwater Beach (we've tried multiple breakfast places, cafes around that area, we had complains for food everywhere except our resort)
Cons:This place is for families (we were 2 couples before 30), a lot of little kids and pool is not deep (around 1 meter deepest part). We love kids, they did not bother us at all (this is just FYI). The only thing we did not liked is that they have early check out at 11:00 am and check in is late at 4:00pm (usually it is 3:00pm in most places) When we were checking in rooms weren't ready yet, so we've checked in at 5:15 pm and for check out they gave us only extra 30 minutes. Other wise I enjoyed stay.

10.0 Wonderful
Pros:ocean front - fantastic view, looking new / well maintained property, friendly staff
Cons:very limited vegetarian food options, water and ice was not available in the pantry many times. did not see cookies even once. instead of charging a fee for the 3rd bicycle, you could provide something similar to Hyatt's Wheel Fun Rentals. You could challenge yourself with providing food and drinks at competitive price
A
7.7 Good
Pros:The view was amazing best location on the beach also free bottled water on each floor
Cons:Rooms were decent and comfortable but not resort luxury, to many kids running around felt like I was at a kids resort, resort fee covers fresh fruit never had any out on my floor in the pantry they have call ahead valet so it creates congestion with the cars and your stuck and can't leave .... Utter confusion
