There were a few minor irritations (toilet flushed on the right, in the corner next to the wall. Full size fridge was tucked into back of kitchenette...with the doors opening the wrong way. Not enough electrical outlets. Nothing major, just minor inconvenience!) The staff was amazing! They could not have been any more helpful and accommodating. The entire property was clean and the landscaping was gorgeous. The pool bar was stupid expensive, but overall it was an incredible stay and we would definitely go back! The view from our cottage and from the pool was breathtaking!!

The resort is gorgeous and extremely comfortable. Besides some issues with housekeeping, everything else was amazing. We enjoyed the beach, the beautiful pool. The $40.00 a day amenities fee includes kayaks, paddle boards, lounge chairs with umbrellas, beach and pool towels which we all enjoyed. Even our dog was on the kayak. Everyone is very nice. Looking forward to coming back next year. Hopefully the housekeeping issue will be better by then.

I had very cool 70s vibes of this hotel. There are several pools, different restaurants, multiple beaches to explore with activities to do (we even saw a DHC-2 Beaver landing on the ocean when kayaking in-front of the hotel). We stayed only a couple of nights, so we didn’t get to try everything, but the restaurants we did visit had excellent food, beautifully presented, and the staff were very attentive. Our room was in great condition, with a view of the marina — we even spotted manatees from our window! Going closer we also saw a lot of fishes! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend this hotel

It was a beautiful resort and pet friendly was definitely a plus! I loved our room and the atmosphere. It was very close to many restaurants and having access to the other properties was cool too. My only complaint is the bed pillows were uncomfortable so I had a hard time sleeping. Would definitely come back and bring my own pillow ! Stayed again - loved it but beds are not very comfy and there were lots of ants. Love the resort though

We stayed there in Sept 2023. From the moment we were greeted by Sherri we knew we were in a wonderful resort regardless of their renovation coming up. We met Marcus and Richard (bartenders) and they were wonderful and hospitable :) we stayed in a room facing the beach/pool on the 3rd floor and it was beautiful. Staff was wonderful and so were the guests. I cant wait to see what the renovations will be like.

The resort is located in a perfect location. Access to the beach, nearby restaurants and sandbars if you have a boat with an on-site Marina. The resort itself can use some renovation because it has extraordinary potential. The rooms and beds are comfortable. The downside—no housekeeping came to clean the rooms while we were away. Very quiet surroundings. The pool is walking distance from the rooms with a beautiful view of the ocean. Parking was no issue however that may depend also on how busy the hotel is. The pool has a swim up food bar/hut of sorts that you can order food while remaining in the pool. It was a bit disheartening to find out they no longer serve conch fritters. We’ve had them in the past and they were amazing. This should definitely be placed back on the menu. The overall menu at this time did not grab any of our attention (it was 9 of us)—-fell short of expectations and overpriced. Bring the conch fritters back! Anyhow, overall it’s a great place to kick back and relax.
