We got this hotel because our flight was canceled and I am glad we went here. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the staff went beyond expectations..they kept the restaurant open a bit longer for us because we came in late and made us sandwich’s in the morning because we had to get to the airport very early. The room was comfortable and the shower was amazing. I am glad we found this hotel and would stay again.

Solid 3 star hotel. Easy to get to, quiet secluded location, but located next to a beach alcove and also a 10 minutes drive to coco beach where you can shop and hang out. Amenities were nice and staff was helpful when the power went out providing a fan until everything came back on

This place was beautiful. The grounds are amazing and well kept. The service was great. Breakfast was delicious. Pool area was nice and not crowded with a great bartender. The beach directly out from hotel is a bit rocky but a short walk down the beach there are amazing areas to get in the water.

I wish I could give the staff 100 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Professional, accommodating and super nice staff. Whatever we ask them, they did it with a smile. For example, we were going on a tour and they loaned us towels that we returned upon our return. Beautiful hidden gem of a hotel!

Resort is clean but is in real need of updates and some added amenities. Onsite restaurant was good but very expensive- a single serve bottle of water was more than beer (and I had asked for tap water but just accepted the bottle) The beach could use a clean up and taking too. Lush gardens and we got to see lots of monkey’s which was cool!

My husband and I had an incredible experience at this resort. The staff was incredible!! Shout out to Daniella, Roland, Harley and Andrea. It was beautiful and so peaceful. We were there in the off season so it was quiet but it seems like more of a relaxed resort than a party vibe. It is on the smaller side but for us it was perfect. It is close to many sight seeing areas and different beaches. We rented a car so the resort was a primo location for exploring the area. The rooms were clean and a decent size. The food served on sight was delicious. It was a little bit pricey so we went into Cocoa beach for some of our meals which is only like 10 mins away. The beach attached to the property is on the smaller side but the views are stunning. There are monkeys that live in the trees right about the pool bar. We had a blast and would recommend this spot!!
