    Beautifully situated between the ocean and the bay, with lots of activities available in both (we did the parasailing). Rooms were comfortable with gorgeous walk-in showers. Unbelievable food menus in the Lifeguard Station and Theodosia across the...

    We had breakfast twice at the Lifesaving Station and it was wonderful. The food is good and the staff is exceptional!
  • Danny

    The breakfast was good and the location was fine; however, the personnel was understaffed. We had to wait often to be seated because the wait staff was only one and she had to help in the kitchen, wait tables and seat guests.

    I was given a Deluxe room when I booked just a few weeks before my arrival. On checking in, I was told that I was upgraded to a premium room: my own large deck, incredible view, tables & chairs for 2 to watch the sunset, play cards, enjoy cocktails.
