sleep

  • Standard rooms, located in the towers, come with either 1 king (fits a rollaway) or 2 queen beds. All have balconies, and views vary — gulf-front is best.
  • Lanai Suites offer a king or two queens plus a separate living room with kitchenette and dining table. The bedroom is separated by a glass door (the bedroom doesn’t have a window), with a curtain for privacy. They also include a half bath and are located on the ground floor with easy access to Quinn’s pool and the beach.
  • The two-bedroom Lanai Suite offers a larger living area.
  • Connecting rooms are available in the towers and are often the most flexible setup for families with older kids.
  • The resort is large. Request a centrally located tower room if you want easier access to pools and restaurants.
  • Soundproofing could be better.
  • As with many large resorts, you may encounter delayed housekeeping and long check-in lines during busy periods.
  • Rooms were renovated in 2017 and could benefit from a refresh.
  • Sirene rooms, located in a separate tower, are adults-only (21+).

play

  • The beach is the highlight. It’s wide and swimmable, with soft sand and excellent shelling. Shaded “Chickee huts” are available to rent.
  • Two large heated family pools anchor the resort. The Tiki Pool includes a small kids-only waterslide, splash pad, and zero-entry section.
  • The adults-only pool is reserved for guests staying in the Sirene tower.
  • Peak season and school breaks get crowded. Expect competition for chairs unless you arrive early or pay to reserve premium seating.
  • Tiki Time Day Camp (ages 5–10) runs daily from 10am–2pm. Kids enjoy it, but it’s pricey.
  • 10K Alley (bowling, arcade, mini golf) is a major hit with elementary-age kids — but it’s not cheap.
  • Dolphin and shelling tours depart directly from the beach and include a stop on an uninhabited island to collect shells, which makes logistics easy with younger kids.
  • Nightly sunset fire dancers are an easy, low-effort evening activity.

eat

  • About a dozen dining outlets range from casual to upscale. You can stay on property for most meals if you want to. Food reviews are mixed.
  • Breakfast at Maia is consistently praised, especially the buffet.
  • Ario steakhouse is widely considered the strongest dinner option.
  • Mosaico (market café) is practical for quick family meals — sandwiches, pizza, gelato, coffee.
  • Service can feel stretched during peak periods.
  • Expect resort pricing across food, drinks, and add-on activities.
  • There are walkable off-property restaurants if you want variety or a break from resort pricing.

The details

What room setup does your family need, at minimum?

We're having you search by beds, rather than number and age of kids, because every family sleeps differently.

King/queen bed includes pullout sofas

Kid-size bed includes sofas (not pullout), twin beds, or rollaway beds
