We got stuck in the area after the ferries were cancelled and lucked into a one night stay here, and now we can’t wait to come back. They were so sweet and helpful receiving unexpected guests. They went out of their way to accommodate us and help us relax. And wow it’s so beautiful. I went birding first thing and there was so many birds. I could see eagles and seals from our room. It is truly stunning, but I still think the staff were my favourite part!

We had a wonderful time with our furry friend at the cabin # 4 that we enjoy the great view and peaceful surroundings. The only downside was an odor in the cabin, which was stronger in the bathroom, we left all the windows open to air it out day and night! Other than that, everything was fantastic!

Pros: Friendly staff, s'mores nightly firepit, beautiful location, amazing boardwalk. Cons: We were in the oldest part of the resort, the shower was one of those very large old soaker tubs with a shower above (make shift style). The TV in the bedroom didn't work, the mini fridge didn't work, and they forgot to clean our room (we were there for three nights).

Overall the resort is in a beautiful location. I always stay in the luxury tents on the ocean which is what makes the stay worth it. The main property is a bit dated now. It’s hard to enjoy most of the amenities in the winter when it’s cold and raining, but overall it’s very peaceful and relaxing. The restaurant on site is okay. Food was good, but it is not very lively, It felt catered to a much older demographic. I booked couples massages, the spa is very small with two separate rooms that they open the door in between. Based on photos, it felt a little mis-leading for the massages in the tent on the ocean. Staff were all very friendly and nice.
