Azul Resort Siesta Key
Parking was OK. The room overlooked the pool. The room was very very small especially the bathroom toilet and shower not ideal for a larger man. Great area nice landscaping nice pool would definitely stay again, but would look at a larger room hopefully with a larger bathroom.
