Booked a vacation at the Sabal Palms Hotel (down the beach) and was horified by the conditions. Drawn by the massive pink hotel, we switched the next day after negotiiating a refund. Our son (2.5) loved the pools, grounds, nightly piano player and big beach, one of the nicest hotels we have ever seen. Rooms was a little bit small, but very well decorated and clean. Do not accept a room on "pet" floors (unless you plan on bringing one....) Yoga on the beach was very good but children's activities were limited (staff was very kid friendly). Given that we had no reservations and we were allowed to check in early our firsrt impressions were good, and that may have made a huge difference in how we felt about everything. Overall, it was really really nice. (i have to include that cocktails were all 8 bucks! ouch! but beers were reasonable and drinks were strong:). Poolside was the best service for drinks and food (was truely excelent) but hotel wasn't that busy during our stay. All the amenities made the 200 not seem so brutal. Was refered to by the locals as the nicest place in town and sightly envied. Central A/C was noisy. Linens were high quality.
