Great hotel overall. The staff was very friendly, food was great, the beach is steps out the back and dog friendly (on a leash), and also steps away from restaurants /bars /shops. You do have to pay to enter the island ($6 as of October 2018). We used Jacksonville Airport which is an hour away. We were upgraded to a suite with a good view and you could hear the ocean. The balcony had no privacy however... If you pay for a suite, ask for one that's directly facing the ocean and not above the courtyard.
