Just there a few weeks ago. It's certainly your best bet to be positioned for a flight the next day, which we did for our post Sunsail charter. The only obvious construction was at the bar and restaurant during the day, which will certainly be done by the time you get there. Our room was clean, though only one of four lights in the room worked. We asked if somebody could come by with bulbs, but nobody ever showed. We booked a month in advance, and it was around $320 with tax, tag, and title for one night. Almost certainly rate should be lower in July (lower season). They no longer run their courtesy shuttle to the airport. We'd used it many times, but they said they no longer did it. We took a cab- quite a few were waiting out front at any given time. I think for the two of us was ten dollars plus tip if memory serves.

Beachcomber had only it's bar open- no rooms yet. Lindbergh Bay Hotel and Villas had no rooms yet when we called, but all the above could change by July.
