Captain's Quarters Resort is like many of the mid-range family-friendly hotels along Ocean Boulevard -- rooms are a bit worn, but the beachfront location is a highlight. Another top draw here are the numerous pools, including both indoor and outdoor options, two lazy rivers, hot tubs, and a kids' pool with a pirate ship. There's also a large entertainment center with a 20-lane bowling alley and arcade games. Dining options include casual fare and drinks as well as a seasonal beach shack. As mentioned, guest rooms are dated and worn, plus past guests have complained of cleanliness issues, but rooms come with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Suites add kitchenettes with stoves/ovens. For something more modern and with nicer decor, check out the Island Vista Resort, but note that rates are a bit more expensive.
