One of the Best

Pros: The room was so lovely. Everything done tastefully.
Cons: Can't think of a thing.
Location: Perfectly situated. Far enough away from the hustle bustle but close access to the highway to get downtown.
This hotel is extremely beautiful. The room was as good as it gets and the setting was outstanding. The beautiful plantings, the view of the water, everything was well thought out and I could have spent the rest of my life there and been very happy. The staff was terrific, very caring, especially the car hops who were so friendly and helpful. This was one of the best hotel experiences I ever had. Hope to be back there in the near future.

Great location, great property.

Pros: Great location. Beautiful property
Cons: The concierge could be a bit more helpful. One evening they sent my husband and I to a restaurant that wasn't open. They also put us on hold a lot.
Location: Quant little main street 4 blocks away from the resort. We also visited the zoo one morning which was only about a 15 minute drive from the hotel.
This resort has an amazing location right across the street from Butterfly Beach. The views from the all of the restaurants is fantastic! The resort grounds are beautiful. We stayed in one of the Bungalows which was very spacious and quite.
