Our room was wonderful and the staff were great also. Food at the restaurants was very good. However, this hotel should have some form of shuttle service to and from the airport. We almost missed our flight home because of poor service from local private transportation providers. This really was a source of stress for my wife and I that was not necessary. This issue is well known to your staff.

This property was amazing. You walk into the lobby and can see the grass and ocean all at once. They have options to eat at the resort, have a bar and a pool. If you’d like, you have options to play games outside, make smores or walk down to the beach. It’s a beautiful walk. The loft we stayed in was beautiful, with gorgeous views. The bathroom has heated floors and there were two tvs, upstairs and downstairs. They even offer clue, scrabble and monopoly. Parking was easy, breakfast was available and the staff was nice. The rooms were very clean. Loved it here.
