Staying at Ella‘s was such a wonderful pleasure! Being only one block away from all of the action, yet it felt like your own tropical paradise. Dwight was awesome and his recommendations for dining and activities helped make my stay one of the best! What really made this great for me was how clean everything was and how safe the environment felt. Having a private pool with a beautiful sitting area was just icing on top.

A great place to stay! 2 blocks off Duval Street, so a lot of shopping and dining options are within walking distance. All staff members we dealt with were so polite and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Pool area is beautiful. Especially love the swing chair. Breakfast basket is delightful. Room is small but clean. However didn’t like the air conditioner- it was too loud for me to sleep.
