The property was beautiful and well maintained. We loved the little lamps leading to the beach at night and the fire kettles were wonderful to enjoy too.

The property was very special! The staff from check-in, turn-down, restaurant, golf cart transportation and check-out were fantastic! The cabins are right on the beach. They have nightly bonfires on the beach as well as by the volleyball court. The lobby is beautiful and inviting. We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant on site too! We'll definitely go back again!

Wonderful experience

Our two nights at the hotel was grande. The staff was delightful and always ready to help us with our every need. The room was comfortable and the fireplace was an asset due to the colder, rainy weather.

Very Romantic Getaway

Pros: Location is great! Right on the beach. The new restaurant and bar is very good. Wine and cheese tasting and bonfire on the beach all included.
If you do not have any kids try to request an upper room. We were below a family and the kids were quite noisy during the day and they woke us up earlier than we wanted to be in the morning. Other than that this plae is fantastic. Worth every penny.

A little piece of heaven

My family always like going to the beach. It was what attracted me to book this room. It was beyond my expectations. They have the best staff, always friendly and ready to help. I have a son with special needs and he was able to enjoy the beach since it was just a short walk from our room and it was quiet enough that he was able to relax. The breakfast was great and what I liked about it is you pre order the night before and they will deliver the following day at the time you want it.

Time together

Pros: The balcony
Cons: We did not know about the turn down service. The outside chairs need to be wiped down, some kind of brown yucky stuff on the sides.
Location: Great location. Sunset beach only 20 minutes away.
It was very relaxing. We watched the whales, surfers, sunsets. Beautiful resort.

Nice Hotel, but did not get what was promised

Pros: Hot tub, pool, beach bonfires after dark
Cons: No tables by bed for cell phones, eye glasses, etc. One small shelf (about 8" x 4") attached to the wall on one side of the bed only.
Location: The bonfires on the beach were very nice. The restaurant was being renovated, so we had to go into town for a meal.
We were not expecting to have to leave our car in a general parking area and be taken by golf cart to our rooms. A bit inconvenient---if you needed anything out of the car, etc. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The room was nice, we just would have liked bedside tables as we both wear glasses. One disappointment was that when we booked the reservation, it said "special gift upon arrival". We thought maybe a small bottle of wine or something like that would be in our room, but when we got into our room, there was only an honor bar with very pricey wine, bottled water for $5, a can of Diet Coke for $4, etc. Never received the gift!
