Breakfast was good,location was great as was close to cruise terminal, airport, broadwalk mall, we could easily commute anyway even at night. The host was superb, I was 30mins early and allowed to check in, Also they had an event that they promised will finish at 10am and they kept their promise. He paid attention to detail and made us feel at home, in the morning we were rushing and made sure our break was served intimey. Much appreciated

Lunch ribs and chips was affordable but not pleasing to our taste buds

Our room was very spacious, with a very comfortable bed, sitting area and fabulous balcony with an ocean view. The staff were very thoughtful and welcoming. I contacted them at the very last minute about doing a game drive as they came up with several options within a few hours. Ultimately we chose to just play at the beach, which is just a couple minutes walk away. Lots of easy fast food options for kids as well as nicer restaurants. The staff also let us keep our room into the afternoon so we could spend time on the beach on the last day. This was so kind. Each staff person was so warm.

The neighboring property is not as picturesque…fortunately we had a nice beach view from our balcony

The location, facility and staff were amazing. I was so comfortable that I opted to come back again the following week.

The plugs and bedside lamp in my room weren't working. Due to some internal miscommunication, no housekeeping was done in my room. Mr Cosmas was very apologetic and ensured this did not happen again.

We had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and the night manager went out of his way to attend to our needs. The chef was amazing. She made a special meal for our anniversary dinner and even made a quick dessert on request.

The fact that we only stayed for one night.

I tried all three breakfast variations and they were ok. What was really great was the food for dinner. Gerti is a real good cook. Beach, Park and shopping is all not too far away. The owner of the hotel was very kind as well.

The Windermere is a tranquil setting just off the main beach road. Close enough to take a scenic walk to the beachfronts top restaurants and swimming beaches. Waking up to a view of the ocean was a pure delight.

Nothing it was a perfect surprise
