Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The guides were very informative about the history of the property. The maps were helpful along with the QR codes and sheet.

    The historical society is comprised of a few buildings, although only one is open to the public. It contains a film about the history of the area as well as a few comprehensive exhibits. The staff I encountered were extremely friendly. Recommended for history buffs such as myself.

    It was very interesting to learn about this place. Bonnet House is so different. Our tourguide did a great job. We especially loved seeing the Dade pine.

    What a surprising find! Small historic building packed with so many exhibits, artifacts & memorabilia from its time as a naval air station during WWII. Just its display of an actual Link Trainer is worth a visit for any military history fans! Shout out to Chris Kail, one of the museum docents, for being an excellent & well-informed guide—highly recommend for veterans, history buffs, even families with kids were enjoying it!

    I had an amazing experience with a couple of friends. It gave me a good scare. Plan to go back again when my friends are avaliable.

    This place is hard to find but it's worth the effort to get to it. There's outside seating, and inside seating at the bar or at tables. Nice selection of craft beers on tap that changes from time to time. Free parking. It does get quite busy on weekend evenings. My wife and I therefore come on weekdays and get here early enough in the early evening to avoid the crowd.

    Mark at Planet Massage has changed my life.

    I have been in the area for about 12 years, chronic upper/lower back and neck pain. I was skeptical because I always went to the chain places like Massage Envy, severely disappointed. I thought massage wasn’t worth it. I couldn’t have been more wrong…

    The second I stepped in Planet Massage I felt welcomed and warm. Told them my ailments and they prescribed a catered massage just for me. They didn’t work on the areas that I thought were the problem. They worked on the areas they KNEW were the problem…and I walked out of there like a new woman.

    I go back as much as I can and it’s the best part of my month. Do yourself a favor and don’t guess on where is best. They are local legends!

    Elaine gave me a fabulous Swedish massage. Then had facial & wax with Ana. I would definitely recommend both ladies & this place.
    I am now getting monthly massages. The best
    Birthday gift I could give myself!

    We drove up to the boat ramp meeting area where Captain Wayne was waiting with a smile and a happy attitude! Let’s go explore the Everglades… we learned so much about the water levels and how much politics can mess up human nature. As well we saw over 20 alligators including several babies! The boat was smooth and not scary at all. I didn’t want the trip to end, it was like we were in a different world I loved every second and so did our 15 year old son. Thank you Capt. Wayne! Keep up the incredible tour guide skills we appreciated all of them.
