Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The view was incredible. Housekeeping staff was great about getting the sand out of the room. Loved the tiki bar(a tad bit expensive)but nice to have handy. Wish the pool stayed open until 9-10pm. Closed at 7pm is hard for late evening swimners. Very quiet and secluded.

Overall a nice place to stay. Not really sure what our resort fee was for as there were no canopy umbrellas, bikes, or tennis courts as pictured on the website. Staff did upgrade us to a better room upon check in and all were friendly.

Everything was very good except arriving very late and finding that the shower was broken. It was fixed as soon as we asked the next morning, but didn't appreciate starting my visit without a shower after a super long drive. The room should have been inspected before assigning it to us.

easy access to all of the amenities, comfortable rooms that were attractive and clean. Variety of menu options at all meals. We could've never left the property and had a great vacation. The noseeums was the only problem we had. Although our bug spray said deters noseeums, we were eaten alive on the beach. Pants and sleeves at sunset. We will be back. Thanks for a great fall break experience.
