A very great place to stay great view.Great food great staff
I loved staying here; the staff and everyone were very nice and friendly. The lodge is in a great location. Has a nice-sized gym and pool. The rooms are very cozy, clean, and modern. The food is great. The Cove was a lot of fun and gave a great opportunity to meet some locals. I will stay again often.
Staff was very nice. Large rooms. I thing I noticed was the showers were VERY quiet! Nice for when you get up early but don't want to wake anyone else.
