Lots of amenities such as heated pool, mini golf and access to kayaks/paddleboards. Good breakfast. View was amazing from part of the property, however from our room the trees & bushes needed to be trimmed & thinned out. What could of been an incredible view of the harbor was a view of bushes- disappointing.
