The property was beautiful and near a lot of great food and shopping. Experienced some issues with the lighting in the room, electrical issues. Staff was amazing. I was helped by Shirlene and Brooklyn, both went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth check in and out. Thank you for a nice stay overall!

This location can’t be beat! It is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for families. I would stay again for sure but I do think the resort can do better with attention to detail. Each day there was something we asked, small items like if they had a car we could use, or if they rented out boogie boards and we were consistently met with “I don’t know” and never an offer to find out. The beach is shared with their two resorts and it’s obvious the staff are not cross trained. Housekeeping was also super frustrating because you would request it and they would offer to be there in a half hour and it could be 3-4 hours later so hard to plan a day. Again excellent location and venue but they have to do better with the small details that make for a great stay.

Property is gorgeous. Staff is very nice. Downside is everyday we were there there were weddings so alot of the common areas were blocked off so really rhe only areas we had available were the pool areas and the restraunts. It would have been nice for paying staff to be prioritized as well and be able to use all areas.

The stay at The Henderson Beach Resort was wonderful. The property was clean, the staff was accommodating and everything was convenient. Only a short walk to the beach, and you will have to pay for chairs - but if you plan to spend the day it's well worth it. We made the trip from South Florida and would certainly stay again.
