Top hotels in Brown Island
Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
Room had no microwave nor end tables. We spoke with a maid twice in English and Spanish requesting fresh towels. We never got them. When we inquired with the front desk, we were told they do not give out fresh towels. We only had fresh towels for one night out of a four night stay. Unacceptable.
