“Lighthouse Key Resort was everything we expected.”
The ALL STAR Story of the Month for May is from the The Soler Family from Connecticut.
“Lighthouse Key Resort was everything we expected. The condo was clean and spacious. The kids had their own room and we had a place to relax when they went to bed. The balcony overlooked the beautiful pool area. We used the in-room washer/dryer daily which meant we only needed to do one load of laundry upon coming home from vacation,” said Mrs. Soler
“Overall, this place was great. I will definitely use ALL STAR again in the future!”
