Benchmark in Joe Island

"This hotel was incredible! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the luxurious vibe—everything felt so fancy and well-appointed. The food? Absolutely amazing, with so many delicious options. But what really stood out was the staff—everyone was so warm and welcoming, making the stay even more special. And the pool… *wow*! Hands down one of the best I’ve experienced—perfect for relaxing under the Florida sun. I’ll 100% be recommending this place to friends and will definitely book here again on my next trip. A total gem! "

"Awesome hotel, perfect area!"

"Overall "

"Definitely would stay again/ very slippery pool deck area would like a bigger room w/ balcony next time"

"The Don did not disappoint. I’ve lived in Tampa for over 25 years and never took advantage of this gem until this year. The hotel is still recovering from the back to back hurricanes in 2024 but the service, staff, rooms, and amenities were great! We will be back in the future to celebrate more big events in our lives. Thanks for making my birthday so special! "
