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)

We had an Ocean View room. The view was incredible! The room could use refurbishing though. It was looking very worn - carpet had large stains, the entry door was very hard to open as the door hardware was not properly installed. Paint was due for an update. Some of the gym equipment was out of order. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. Food in the restaurants was excellent and reasonably priced. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Very nice property. Customer parking is not close to entrance and maybe difficult to access if you cannot go up an incline. A night the pathway from the parking to the entrance is not well lit. Breakfast is pricey but very good. $65.00 including tip for 2 people for eggs and bacon.

This property has a beautiful waterfront location with a marina view that really sets the tone for a relaxing stay. The patio restaurant is a great spot for lunch or dinner, and there’s a cozy upstairs dining room for breakfast. Rooms in the lodge are on the smaller side, but comfortable and well-maintained, with lovely views. The main drawbacks were the service and parking. The front desk could have been warmer — a more welcoming first impression would go a long way. Service at the patio restaurant was mixed: our first server felt a bit brusque, but after moving tables for shade, the second staff member was attentive and accommodating. Parking is a challenge due to the hillside layout. It may not be ideal for guests with mobility concerns, as getting to and from the lot requires some effort. Overall, a charming property in a stunning setting, with just a few areas that could be refined to make the experience even better.

I absolutely love staying here for the peace and quiet but I do notice that the property is not well kept. The hot tub jets were not working, the cafe was closed. The hot tub and pool beside the water was closed. However the restaurant is amazing and has great staff! The front desk staff were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout my stay and don’t miss the spa!
