We had a nice stay at the Paddletail Waterfront Lodge while making a very quick trip to swim with Manatees. The staff were very nice and accommodating. It is clear that ownership is working to make updates to the property. Thank you!

We stayed for a Sunday night on a three day weekend and never heard a peep out of the bar next door. The room was clean and everything worked well. Staff was super nice and helpful. Would highly recommend. Never heard any noise from other units either. Money well invested.
