It was a nice getaway. I would stay there again, but not for the price I paid.
Pros:

The location was great. Next to the beach which is very good. The expansive property and things to do in the area are nice as well.

Cons:

The rooms and building need to be updated or maintained at the very least. The room rates do not match the facilities. The cafe is only staffed by 1 and the lines can get very long.

Will find somewhere else to stay next time.
Pros:

There was no soap in the shower dispenser. The parking lot that should have been for my room was closed. I therefore had to carry all my things to another lot to my car while I could see the closer lot from my window. The night I was going to eat dinner it was steak and fish...I am a vegetarian. I got lost twice walking to find the main building, asked a worker on a golf cart who said "it is below this building " then drove away and there were two ways I could go...one again lead me the wrong way. The gift store was suppose to open at 10am...I was told it would not open until 1pm...I was checking out and couldn't wait. None of the staff smiled or seemed happy to be at their job. Only one blanket in the closet ,none on the bed...had to put on socks and a sweatshirt over my pajamas as I was cold.
Absolutely not enough parking to check in...had to circle many times until someone left.

Cons:

See above as that states what I didn't like.

Pros:

The property surrounding the buildings was peaceful and cabin like.

Cons:

The rooms where horrible. Old, eerie, lucky had holy water with me . Shower head shot water up the ceiling, every bit of the room needs to be gutted and replaced. No TV and the door to the building is always unlocked. Pool was not heated.
