inlet into 'the marina'? it's an inlet into the intercoastal.

otherwise i agree with most of what is said. the beach isnt very great quality, the sand used to make it is very silty, not the sugar sand clearwater is famous for. it's all the way on the southern tip of the island, so you will need to walk to anything touristy. there are plenty of options for dining within a short walk.

my only real beef with the property is that the AC seems to be underpowered given the heatload of the sunshine you can get exposed to. I like my rooms cold, especially at bedtime, and the suites here tend to be too warm for me.
