"Cleanliness was great, bedroom, great, very comfortable, the food was good a little expensive, breakfast was good, staff was excellent. Air condition excellent. Will be there on my next trip"
"We loved our stay. The room was perfect, had a nice porch area, beautiful
meals with the beach view. The staff was friendly and very accommodating.
Will definitely stay again, loved every minute :)"
"The rooms were terrible. Our room was dirty. They had to come back and deep, clean it. The toilet was broke. The only thing I can say about the hotel was a staff was very pleasant in the bars and restaurants, but they were out of everything. It reminded me of a place that was going out of business. Definitely wasn’t a five star hotel not even at three Star."
"Site was very nice and clean. Food and service were excellent.
My only issue with the resort was the wifi coverage was spotty in certain areas.
When we wanted to rent a kayak there was a waver that needed to be signed off. The waiver was online and when we tried to get online there was no Internet available at the building. We ended up not renting a kayak for that reason."
