The photos on this resort were taken long ago. The current state of the rooms is pretty deplorable, dated. There were plenty of mosquitoes buzzing in the room. hot tub was not working when we checked-in. Overall, it was disappointing for the price we paid for this resort. We will never come back to stay.

Pros: The views from the resort are beautiful and we had great service from both the hotel and restaurant staff. The beds were also very comfortable. Cons: The overall property condition let things down a bit. Be aware that the parking areas are very tight and the rooms are looking a little tired. We stayed in one of the tents and it was quite chilly (even with the fireplace on the entire night). The walkway out to the tents is quite long and the wooden path boards were in pretty rough shape (not ideal for walking to the restaurant in heels). Overall: Not up to the standards for “luxury” at the price we paid. It would be far better at standard rates.

The hotel show Pet friendly, we have booked the premium Tent, after receive booking confirmation., we call the resort a couple time, no one answer. Upon arrival, the staff told us the premium Tent is not pet friendly, you guys did not check "pet are only allow in specify room and you should call us" on Expedia and move us to Cabin and charge us the premium Tents' charge. Both the resort and Expedia refuse to refund the different in price. Honestly if this is a pet friendly one, they should indicate which type room are pet friendly and which are not. And stopping blaming customer did not contact the hotel, and nor even no one answer, you should leave us message and why you guy don't leave us messages. Overall this is quite an unpleasant experience and Thanks, never again.

My checkin was 30 minutes late because housekeeping was in progress and I had to wait outside. The view from the property was fantastic, though be wary of long boardwalk/ many stairs it takes to get to the property if you have heavy luggages. Property furnishings are a bit outdated and no cooling AC (fan only) during summer. Complimentary Kayak session was a plus!

Our cabin was under construction while we were in it, starting at 830am lasting till 530pm, despite complaining about it. This construction is simply putting a new face over aging construction materials and not fixing existing defects. The work looks good art first but once you start looking, everything is hanuman special type work (drywall seams visible, uneven floors, mismatched tiles in the bathrooms) Housekeeping did not arrive until after 5pm. And even then didn't replenish toiletries or coffee/tea supplies. Sheets were not changed, but the bed was remade (lipstick marks confirmed this). Front desk staff were pleasant but ultimately useless to resolve issues. Had we done not research on recent reviews, we would not have booked it. Would not return. But at least they have a free EV charger and a nice oceanfront location.

We were on a special round trip and this was our first stop. It was easy to get to and the check in was very welcoming. The concept of the premium tent suites is very interesting and we splurged a little to test one out. It was exactly what we had hoped for in terms of tranquility and enjoyment. The robes and deck were very utilized. The temperature was good inside. A little warm for me so be careful in hotter months to keep the plastic window covers open. Hardly any bugs to irritate us either so that’s always a plus (and a bug zapper is provided). It is a bit of a walk down the boardwalk to the suites from parking, esp. if the main lot is full (it was for us) so make sure to maybe bring roll bags or pack light. All in all I was very satisfied with the stay. If I had to nitpick anything I’d say the suites could probably use a bit of maintenance in terms of the paper panelling doors having some spores on them/discolouration, the deck railings needing a fresh coat, the tub is showing some cracks in the finish - probably from the sun etc. I do think the price for the night is quite high (I would expect it to be somewhat pristine) and it took re-checking throughout the month for a reasonable rate to come by. But I was still happy to visit and enjoy the suite for what it was and noticed that everywhere along the coast lately seems to be sharing the high rates. The dock was also pleasant and we got to enjoy a cozy afternoon with the sounds of storms nearby. All in all, well enjoyed

Listen to the reviews
I wish I had have read the reviews more thoroughly.My husband and I visited on August 20 to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. The front desk staff was lovely checking us in. The cabin was dilapidated. The entire cabin was on quite a slope, with the floor on an angle as you walked from the door into the back room. As a result the front door has to be slammed to shut it properly. As stated in many past reviews, the room was in rough shape. In one response from the hotel, they claim to have recently finished updating the cabins. I can confirm at least one (cabin two) is definitely not completed. There was paint missing around the inside of the door, a patch of paint on the wall, the windows had mould around them and the bathroom walls were not in good shape. The exterior of the cabin is entirely unfinished with no siding. The tv area is unacceptably tiny and the tv is not in the room where the beds were which was super bizarre to us. The internet in the room was terrible and was constantly in and out. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired; there was even food in the fridge from previous guests. The icing on the cake was when there were three gentlemen actively doing construction on the deck of our cabin. We were laying in bed watching tv (on the iPad my husband thankfully brought) and suddenly could hear the whine of a drill. He looked outside and sure enough, they were adding fascia to the deck. While we were in the cabin.
