Bay Club Hotel & Marina
The location is gorgeous, it was close to everything such as restaurants, theme parks, and beautiful beaches. Our room was clean and functional. We had a magnificent view of the docked boats. The most impressive part was the staff members were extremely polite and accommodating.
