Large rooms - washer/dryer in unit. Jacuzzi in master bedroom. Daily activities, especially for kids
Resort Experience:
The resort is located on Hutchinson Island - which is mostly condos or homes and only a few hotels. You cross Indian River to get to it. There weren't any golden arches in sight - a few restaurants on the island, but mostly we had to go to the mainland. Jensen Beach had a fun Thursday evening activity.
We had a good view of the ocean (4th floor), but the 6th, 7th, or 8th would have been better. There were only four units on each floor, so it wasn't crowded. Since there were mostly condos or homes, the beach wasn't crowded either. We were in the back building...the front building must be Sheraton/Vistana owners or renters, but they don't have a washer/dryer in the unit. The unit was the largest/nicest we have had on the beach. The pool was nice, but a couple of us got lots of bug bites, maybe from insects in the shrubbery around the pool. There was lots of turtle activity, lots of small shells, and the ocean water was good - some seaweed.
Overall - great place!
