Didn’t get in to room until 4:25. Garbage still on patio. Walls are very thin. I don’t remember a $700. suite that has these issues. I wish it were different-it’s beautiful.

We tried an early check in to take luggage from the car before going for a hike and were told we’d be best to leave our bags in the car as our room wasn’t ready (about 1.5 hours early) - which didn’t seem ideal. However, once returning to the hotel from the hike, official check in was great, room was superb, explanation by the staff on all room and resort facilities was excellent. Resort staff seemed intent on making sure all guests were catered for and relaxed. Would definitely return to this resort.

What a beautiful resort! I spent some time there for a girls weekend and it was so relaxing. The rooms are updated and clean, and they even leave snacks for you at no additional charge. The views from our patio were absolutely amazing. We were right on the beach. The first day was a little chilly, but they have blankets for you to take outdoors if necessary. They light bonfires in the evening and have many chairs available for their guests right on the beach. Saltwood restaurant is onsite and we had a really great dinner there too along with some drinks. It is really a wonderful little hideaway from all of the hustle and bustle. If you need a special getaway I would highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful experience! The staff was super helpful and attentive. The room had a lovely feel to it with a nice view of the ocean and lots of little extras. We loved the restaurant on the property and the in-room breakfast. Wish the pool was a little hotter, but I was still able to enjoy it and it’s probably will be perfect for warmer weather. We’re definitely coming back when we are in the area! I recommend this place.

It was nice but we probably won’t be back. The room was very hot even with the fireplace off and the windows open. The restaurant on site was good for the appetizers but over priced for the mains. But it was a nice location with lots of birds chirping and good views. So not terrible, but not the best either.
