• Desk clerk, good restaurants.
• Rude staff was not willing to help at all. I will never go there again.

“Very far from the Atlantic. 40 minutes spent at idle speed getting to harbor entrance. Attempted to hail the harbormaster repeatedly on Channel 16. No response. I was left to dock my vessel myself because the harbormaster would not respond to my calls for assistance from a dockhand. Just as I hooked up my shore power, an employee informed me that they had changed my dock assignment. Not a big deal, I am pretty easy-going. I did get to my new slip with the assistance of a courteous dockhand. But then he realized I was assigned to a slip with 30amp power and I need 50amp. Finally, found a suitable slip. Went into the ship's store to pay and had to wait on a staff member to finish telling a fishing story to one of his friends. Other employees were to busy eating to help. I politely asked why I wasn't answered when I hailed the harbormaster on Channel 16. They look at the radio and the volume is turned off! What a joke. After a rude lady ran my Amax for the stay, I asked to speak with the harbormaster. He had left for the day at 2:00pm. I did enjoy my time on the boat. Met some great fellow boaters and some liveaboards. They too were not impressed with the staff. But the restaurants and beauty are what keeps them around. This place is very pricey, service is non-existent, and not a place that I will spend my money in the future. Hope this review helps my fellow mariners.”

• Alligators in ponds!
• Overbooked. Pathetic employees who didn't know anything!

“This was the worst golfing experience that my brother and I have ever had while playing a round of golf. We arrived there at 8:50 for a tee time of 9:16 a.m. We did not tee off until almost 10 a.m. literally. They overbooked themselves by dozens. The starter, check in person and others did not have a clue what to do. We had to be paired with others to get enough people off together at one time. Each hole we come to you still have to wait at least 10 minutes to tee off to let all the others in front of you get out of the way. I mean come on. This is golf! It is supposed to be fun and relaxing, not stressful. We had to be somewhere at 1 p.m. that afternoon and could only play 9 holes. That right there is bad business etiquette. They told me it was our loss. It was not our loss, it in fact was there fault. You have a tee time to go off at that specific time, not whenever they feel like letting you go off. I do not recommend this course to anyone, whether you are an avoid golfer or just want to play for fun. I urge you to boycott this course and make them learn that no one wants to be treated like the scum of the earth like we were treated. And by the way, they claimed their computers were down when in fact I saw others checking people in on computers.”
