We were there in July 2010 and it was as nice as it was as it was when it opened. They have been good about maintenance so the place looks great. The staff is really sweet and you can't beat the size of the rooms and all that there is to do there. It is expensive it you are going there just to sleep before the cruise. If you are looking for a nice place just to sleep, the Hampton Inn is nice, the room is a nice size and there is a short path that takes you right on the beach. Several rooms also have good beach views. We wouldn't stay there with kids for long stays because RonJon's has so much more to do but for the night it is very nice and afforable.
