Needs update

The property is very convenient to several restaurants and activities. It is an older property that could use some TLC in certain area. Very nice pool and courtyard. Very few amenities in the room, need more chairs for the balcony. With a few touches this could be a top notch resort again.

It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing either. Wonderful service easy check in and out. Pool was nice rooms need to be updated more and the overall cleanliness of the bathroom and kitchen could have been much better.

This "resort" looks like it was a great place to stay at one time. We booked online and was surprised when we got there. Not sure if they are wanting to make this like condo's where you are on your own. It needs to be explained better if so. We arrived on a Friday evening and left Monday morning, check in time isn't until 3 pm but then if you arrive after 4 you have to wait or get a code for the lock box. We used the same towels all weekend and we had to take our own garbage to the dumpster (we didn't have to but.....). The doors to the front says the office are closed at this time and has been that way for a while now. The only time I seen any staff was the day we checked in. It took us til Sunday to find the pool and hot tub. We don't snoop so I didn't think about going around the corner between the building to get to the pool area. That being said, the room was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and it was very quiet around there. Very convenient to go shopping or just a cup of coffee. I'm not going to say I won't stay again. Just going to say that it won't be my first choice.

The view was beautiful has a boat slip if you bring one. Boat ride very close to crab island and other places. Staff were very attentive and took care of any issues we had. They are working on updating the property. Great price for a good location to everything you need.

This property is located on the bay with beautiful views. I would have given 5 stars, but check in was quite an ordeal. The manager could not be found, and had left an employee there to run things who had just started that day. Her and the housekeeper were having to check people in, It seems the new management that took over has some work to do. It took 45 minutes and people were all standing around waiting for someone to walk and check their room to make sure it had been cleaned. The ladies were very kind and apologetic. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Love this property! Will return.

Started out rocky with check in with issues beyond their control. Manager/owner was quick to help resolve the issue. Outside of that the stay and staff are amazing. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. So much to do at the resort. Already planning the next trip back this year.
