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.

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.
