10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for 5 days for a family vacation and absolutely adored the area and aqua lodges. It was so beautiful and peaceful, the manatees swam up nightly and the area had gorgeous views. The lodges are roomy and kitchen area was perfect- nice that they provided kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, coffee mugs you name it. Whatever we needed was provided here. Staff is very friendly and helpful- easily and readily able to assist any questions we had. The cleaning crew even had our aqua lodge...
