Its an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The resort is nested in a beautiful bay with a nice marina, where leisurely walk. The rooms was fairly clean and tidy overall, but carpets do need more cleaning as mentioned by some reviewers. Staff was nice.

Our room was lovely, there wasn’t an offer to hold our luggage and the parking was a little walk back to our room, only a problem when bringing luggage.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were nice but the hotel is in dire need of a deep clean and some TLC. We were put in a pet friendly room without being told and there were huge pee stains on the floor and large scratches on the door and it smelled of dogs. Know it’s an older hotel but a good clean and some minor repairs would go a LONG way. View was amazing from the hotel.

Our stay was pleasant. A big shout-out to staff member Anthony who did what he could to make us comfortable. While the resort overall was nice, it felt overpriced for what we received. The check-in process (not with Anthony)
