South Beach has a lot to offer, especially for families. We enjoyed the walk to the pier and two gazebos, but you could also swim in the pool or let kids play in the very nice play area. The breakfast was as expected for a continental breakfast. The dining area is large, a beautifully decorated with wooden tables and beach memorabilia, unlike lodging from the chains--often small, no character, and with the news blaring. The staff was very helpful and gracious. I felt it was a good value. They do charge a $38 resort fee, and although we didn't use it, that seemed fair. There was a nautical/beach theme throughout, which I enjoyed.

The staff was great and knowledgeable about the area. However, this place does not have cell phone coverage. We had to drive two miles down the road to make & receive calls. The beach had more dead fish on it than we could count. I realize this is a lake, but someone could patrol the beach and remove the dead fish, instead of feeding the buzzards.

A nice kid friendly place. Hotel room is not made for comfort. Blankets are itchy. Pillows are flat, and the air conditioner is loud. Shower squeaks. Breakfast was good, and my granddaughter enjoyed the pool. A bit overpriced

Recommend only staying on the top floor as the floors make a lot of creaking noises that you hear everytime someone walks in the room above.
