Crystal Palace Resort
Sam was great but there were some quirky issues with lights and the bathroom was freezing. Otherwise the room has a fridge and microwave and the bed was comfortable. It was pet friendly and the view was great.

The 409 Bolivar Beach Hotel
The rooms were spacious and very clean. The only downside was that the walls were extremely thin, allowing you to hear every little thing your neighbors were doing.
