10/10 Excellent

"I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this resort, and wish we could have spent weeks there!! The beautiful location and the gorgeous room were perfect. The interior decor was just beautiful and thoughfully designed, and it had absolutely everything you could need, and so much space!! Th walkable path along the coast, the access to the beach, the firepits, pools, hot tubs, and coffee shop were just the icing on the cake. It was also so nice to be so close to so many beautiful places to visit. As a side note, I was happy the hotel was not further up the coast because thousands of pelicans hang out there, and it is STINKY!! I would definitley stay here again, and wish our time there had been longer!!"
