We stayed at the hotel for seven nights. The hotel, pools, and common areas were clean. The restaurants offered good food and excellent service. All the staff members were polite and attentive. I was served by a Brazilian woman named Alexandria and her daughter, who do an excellent job in the kitchen. I would also like to thank waitresses Monica and Marcela for their excellent work. Many thanks to everyone for a wonderful stay. Dasilva family 🙏

I recommend you take full advantage of the biking, the beach and the ocean. The coffee is good, the food can be pricey but they put a 800 dollar hold on your card to cover the food and drinks that you put on your room. Overall, everything was good. I’d come again with my kids.

The Henderson is a beautiful property and has wonderful accessibility to the beach front as well as access to the main road for outings, dining options and shopping. I visited the spa and the staff could not have been nicer and were very kind. The room service was delicious, I loved the patio facing the water and the ceiling fan was a wonderful addition as we were right near the water. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

The Henderson exceeded our expectations for our baby-moon. The amenities (water/ice, coffee & tea) available on each floor, free bike rentals, etc. were so convenient. Our room was ready early the day we checked in and was spacious. We also loved the adult pool for a change some days. The rooftop bar is a must!

Beautiful property With nice pools. It is 3 rows in from beach front. I thought it was ocean front by the pictures but that is taken over the state park. We had a nice view of the state park and gulf in the distance. We had to ask for linens for the sleeper sofa for my guests. But had no pillows, had to use the decorative throw pillows. It did take 2 1/2 days before housekeeping stopped by. We had very nice servers in the restaurants. I booked through Expedia that says “ no hidden fees”. I guess I missed the fine print of a daily parking fee and daily resort fee, plus tax. It added up. Not worth the cost.
