The layout was good it didnt feel cramped even though there was 4 of us in the cabin the wardrobe space was very small for four people's clothing and there wasn't any draws for putting away stuff but part from that really nice. The bathroom is a good size lots of shelf space.

The only reason it's not got a excellent is because it was little disorganised at the start of the tour pick up. They planned to pick us up a 9am outside our hotel. They were half hour late and then picked us up on the other side of a very busy main road. We then thought that this would be the start of the tour until they drove 5 minutes down the road and told us to all get off and que up in the main office shop to find out which tour bus we were on. Then when finally at the desk they asked for a few additional dollars for the Everglades tax, which I wasn't happy about because as far as I was concerned everything was paid for and wasn't aware of this tax but we paid and got on our way. The Tour starts off on a open top bus at times it a little windy when going down the free way so be prepared for a bad hair day. They take you the highlights of the city, we soled off at little Havana and tried a sample of Cuban coffee and a Cuban Mojoto which was sold to us as a buy one get one free but at $17 dollars a cocktail it didn't seem it was much of a deal. The boat part of the tour was good we saw lots of famous celebrity houses round star island. The Everglades was really fun the kids found this a hi light of the day and possibly Miami and they got the chance to hold a Alligator.

Not a lot to do in the port Town without getting a bus or Taxi as we were only there for a couple of hours we just looked around the shops at the port.

The lagoon beach was wonderful, the sting ray experience was good 1/2 hour to snorkel with the Rays and 1/2 petting and photos. You aren't allowed to take your own pictures and they cost $16 each which is a bit steep. The only disappointment was the amount of time you actually got to spend on the beach. We arrived at 2 pm by the time we had finished the sting rays it was gone 3.30 pm , we had to fit in lunch so we literally had about an hour to spend on the beach at the end of the day. The beach is really fun with lots of additional activities you. An pay for $15  each upgrade to use the inflatables. Would of been excellent if they got you to the beach by 1pm instead of waiting around in to get over yo the beach. Didn't seem like good value for money for the little time it allowed.

The pool attendants are quite hot on making sure people are not leaving towels and then going off for half the day, they only monitor this during peak morning times and leave a sticker on your bed stating the time you need to be back by but they give you an hours grace which I think is quite good.We registered the children for the kids clubs my daughter liked it but wasn't raving about the club liked I hoped but was quite happy to go there most days for things to do and I think she had a good time as far as I could tell.
