Our stay started off on a rough note with a dusty Airstream that needed some serious cleaning. Luckily, we were moved to a lovely cabin that made up for the initial disappointment. While the live music added some fun to the atmosphere, the service left much to be desired, especially considering the hefty price tag. Overall, it's a beautiful beach destination, but the accommodations and service could use some improvements.

My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. While the beach was beautiful, and the location was great, the overall experience was marred by noise and poor service. I found the rooms to be quite lacking in comfort and I just felt disappointed compared to what I paid. Unfortunately, it's not a place I would return to, even with its prime spot by the ocean.

Rooms

5.0

The room was moist and had paper-thin walls, making it uncomfortable as I could easily overhear neighbors. I would rate the rooms a 4 out of 10.

Service

The service made any requests feel like a burden. I felt like I was bothering them, which is not what you expect at this price point. Rating: 3/10.

While the beach proximity is fantastic, my overall experience at this resort was marred by high prices for less than stellar accommodations. The room did not meet my expectations and the dining options nearby were overpriced, making the value for money quite disappointing.

Rooms

I was really looking forward to staying in a cabin with a kitchenette, but ended up in a small room that was not as advertised. For over $300 a night, it felt lacking.

Service

The service was indifferent, as requesting help felt like a burden; they sold us wet wood, which made our camping experience frustrating.

Location

The location right by the beach is a highlight, but the lack of clear paths and the overgrown foliage detracted from the experience.

Dining

Dining nearby was overpriced with disappointing options. A simple hot dog cost me $9.50, which felt like price gouging.

Facilities

Facilities were minimal and not well-kept, with little effort shown in maintaining the common areas.

The resort offers a beautiful beachfront location, making it perfect for beach lovers. While the modern suites are a highlight, the overall service and upkeep of facilities leave much to be desired. The beach experience is thrilling, but the overall cleanliness and amenities could use improvement. Although it’s a lovely spot to stay, I’m not sure it’s worth the high price tag compared to what you get.

We stayed in the modern suites, which were beautifully finished and well-equipped. The outdoor shower on the patio was a fantastic touch, especially for beach days.
