Absolutely beautiful resort. Would go again on a couples trip or with my kids. It had a private beach so it didn’t seem crowded and there was a lot of amenities to relax and enjoy. Perfect vacation. We even had a massage at their spa which was a perfect way to end our mini vacation.

The room was wonderful and the view of the ocean a nature preserve was beautiful. The resort wasn’t on the beach but the walk was less than a minute from the property. The only issue I would say was the 526 dollar hold for incidentals and resort fees. This really should be stated in the reservation so it isn’t a surprise when arriving. Other than that lovely property and staff
