Not sure what the negatives reviewers experienced but my husband & I had a wonderful stay. From the delightful & friendly woman at check-in to the clean & quiet room at a very reasonable rate. I always enjoy staying in place that also have charm and the Golden Host Resort had that too - a cool vintage Florida feel. Would highly recommend!

The A/C unit was so loud, my girl and I had to sleep in a hot room. I can tolerate a lot of things when I am tired, but the whole wall/window vibrated loudly when the A/C unit was on.

My stay was a good experience. I feel their should be more ice machines around the area Because some people don't feel comfortable walking into a bar to get ice. I also feel extra charges should be communicated before arrival it was shocking to find out even with booking.Through expedia, there was still another hundred and fifty dollar refundable charge .That unplanned charge did put a hindrance on my trip finances.

The only bad thing that I can say about this place is that there is no food on site. Room was clean (and a little retro), beds were comfy, staff was excellent and helpful, and the Bahi Hut drinks were the best!
