This is our second time here so we were expecting a similar experience. We love the access to the bay, beach, and their clean pool. We stayed on the 2nd floor of the tower this trip and it was outdated. The sliding screen patio door didn’t work, the patio door didn’t close fully, the bathroom tub was dirty and awkwardly set up (towels stored in the shower and no bathroom counter space), and the kitchenette sink only had scalding hot water. We’re undecided whether we’ll return due to the tower rooms.

Older resort for sure, that being said my family and I love this place. Full of charm, nice layout, perfect for families with kids. They have parrots and cockatoos, that have been there for long time and they’ll talk to you. Good food onsite, nice beach area with all the rental stuff (bikes, SUP boards, kayaks, boats). I highly recommend this place for families. Perfect location. Nothing fancy, but perfect for families.
