Pros +

  • location, lanai, two channels, pool, hot tub, room for our family.
  • Hotel staff answered all my questions prior to our visit. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was perfect and located in a nice safe area. Hotel Cantarana has a wonderful restaurant and coffee shop. Our family would absolutely stay there again.

Cons -

  • There were two small maintenance and housekeeping issues at the start, but they were remedied quickly and to our satisfaction. It was expensive; very expensive. But it was Spring Break on Marco and the price may have been fair for the size of the house and the time of year. Interesting design: the Primary Bedroom was huge for 2 people. You could easily sleep 5 people in that space.
