Peaceful, relaxing, sun filled vacation. The renovations post hurricane damage are exceptional! We slept well, never hea
Pros:

Nestled along soft sandy white shores with beautiful seashells and amenities (chairs, sun umbrella, kayaks and stand up boards). Communication via text from the front desk checking on our stay and provided updates regarding facilities happenings. Very personable staff inside and out!

We had a nice time so not regretting coming.
Pros:

Location was great. Great amenities.

Cons:

Too bad that an already pricey resort adds another $50.00 a day for using the pool and other activities. If all families used all the activities ( kayak, beach chairs, bikes , and tennis/pickleball courts) every day, it might justify it. But sadly, most might use the pool and one other activity. Plus a resort fee is also added on.

Great place to stay, tiki bar right off the beach makes it very convenient!
Pros:

Beautiful grounds, well manicured gardens, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.

Cons:

Parking was decent but nothing directly outside of room. However, it is designed very well and there seems to be as much parking as possible while maintaining the beauty of the property so it’s not a complaint.

a really nice hotel!
Pros:

We liked the place for so many reasons- Great location, nice pool and pool side bar, very nice beach with easy access from the hotel, on-site bikes, and just over all was great. There were other guests but it never felt crowded, the room was recently renovated and looked very cute, we used the kitchen and the laundry in the unit which were great to have too. The staff was very polite and efficient. The location relative to restaurants and other activitis on the island is terrific too.

Cons:

the weather...

Fantastic resort if I was not handicapped.
Pros:

The staff was outstanding and the room verry very nice. Grounds were well maintained. I recommend for families with kids but I found it difficult as a senior.

Cons:

My problem was booking online. I needed a handicap assessable room. The five steps up were difficult. I tried to eat at Danta's but could not find an elevator, Because I cannot walk, I could not go to the beach - sand too soft. same situation using pool - access. Also while I asked for 1st floor water view, plants blocked the view... not a resort issue that should be addresses. Need to have handicap parking at every building.
