The Colonial at Jaguar Reef

Pros +

• The location was great - the view was terrific - our room was wonderful and looked out across the beach to the ocean! We enjoyed walking on the beach everyday, it goes on for kms. We enjoyed borrowing the free bikes and going for a ride every morning. The Paddle Wheel restaurant was very nice, and had a great location, with open doors to an ocean view. The Big Dock and covered hut was great - really enjoyed it for ocean watching and moon gazing.
• I loved everything about this property, the staff were incredible, the food, the facilities... we had the best stay ever. We would highly recommend, 20/10 stay at the Colonial. Chris looked after us the whole time we were there and we saw him make an effort and look after all the guests, he always went the extra mile. Captain Larry was also really kind and insightful- he always went out of his way to make recommendations and check we were having a great time.

Cons -

• The beach had ocean trash on it every day, that some days was raked up, but most days was not raked. The Paddle Wheel Restaurant was too expensive to use for all our meals. The Big Dock was great for jumping off, but the swim-up ladder was impossible to climb back up on!
• There wasn't anything that we didn't love, you must stay here
