Manasota Beach

I stayed there with my family while on a trip to Disney. I was a little worried bc it’s one of the cheapest hotels, but I would definitely stay there again. First off, it’s a Christian hotel and they have random inspirational Bible verses all over. Breakfast is free and there’s good choices, eggs, yogurt, waffles, coffee, oatmeal, sausage, fruits, rooms are clean. The only thing they don’t have a microwave in the room but they do have microwaves in a sitting area on the 2nd floor for customers to use. The lobby looks nice. There’s an outdoor pool, there’s a bathroom near the pool area and there are towels available by the pool. The hotel is by a lake, there’s hammocks and seats where you can just sit and watch the water. Do not even think about going in the water bc there’s alligators and snakes, but I didn’t see any. The hotel is in a good neighborhood, plenty of restaurants and stores around, lots of food options. It’s about 30 mn away from the Disney parks and 30 mn from Orlando airport. My kids love it. I think the Disney hotels are way too expensive. Free breakfast is a plus!!

Convenience to theme parks and restaurants, shopping also very safe. Resort has a gate keeper 24/7

The property itself is just huge they have a boat five pools on the property plus a water park so much activities to do on the property they have bowling game room they have restaurants there so you literally don't really have to leave the property to go anywhere
