“A stay here promises direct access to Arena Gorda beach, but the experience seems inconsistent. While the grounds impress, some may find the dining options and service levels less polished than expected for a resort of this class. For families prioritizing aquatic fun, the inclusion of Splash Water World could be a major draw.”
