This is truly a family-friendly resort. The staff members are very welcoming, attentive, patient, and kind. The grounds of this beachfront property are beautiful. The suites are spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious and the chef considered my dietary restrictions. Every meal was a treat. I wasn't expecting a Thanksgiving Day dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The food, music, decor, and family atmosphere at the Thanksgiving Day dinner were wonderful. There are daily activities for all age groups. I enjoyed sitting on my suite's balcony looking at the ocean and listening to the waves. My son worked out in the gym. It was a great vacation experience.

Ideal for a peaceful restful stay

Lovely boutique hotel with family friendly service. Beach on property is not the best for swimming but great beaches are literally next door. Food and service is great, with rooms/suites conveniently fitted with small fridge and microwave. Furniture could use some updates. Nanny service and activities for kids is a big plus.

Wonderful vacation. We were welcomed with a plate of food and a fresh drink upon arrival after traveling for 12 hours. It was such a thoughtful touch and set the tone for our entire time. Many reviews comment on the dated property. It is very functional, very very clean and comfortable. I would not let those reviews deter you. A very wholesome fun family vacation and I will definitely be back.
