Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was excellent. The kitchen lacked nothing. I loved that there was real creamers, not that powder stuff, for excellent coffee in the morning. It is a very walkable beach. The gift shop is full of local made items. It is a great retreat.

Quiet and relaxing. Perfect for couples to get away from the kids. The spa is a bit pricey but worth it.
Joel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We saw a double rainbow on our beach stroll and had a lovely mineral bath in our room with a jetted tub, we stayed in one of the bungalows, a bit of traffic noise due to proximity to the hwy, but still lovely.

Love the area space was nice, parking could use some work.
Amanda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not impressed not disappointed

Rooms are extremely dated and not worth the high star rating. Spa is the highlight forsure rooms are very lacking. Did love the new communication via text when rooms are ready.
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I missed the bath salts that were in the bathroom last time. That was a sweet way to soak. Otherwise our stay was delightful as always!
Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Other than semi-limited parking, the one night stay here was great. I had to leave my room to go to the front desk for assistance then again to pick up my food and I lost my spot both times. I ended up having to park by the next building over. The front desk staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. The pizza from the restaurant was great. Fantastic room and beautiful view of the ocean. The only other small thing is I think the coffee maker was fried so I did a make shift pour over method.
Sophia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This spa is unique, picturesque with plentiful staff that are friendly and helpful. The different types of accommodation were thoughtfully and tastefully arranged on the property. The quality of the food was first class (if pricey). The kitchenette and gas fire made the room much more comfortable. Some of the equipment in the gym could be better maintained; and it would be a bonus if the pool beside the gym had thermal water. Having bars of soap for handwashing in the room would have been helpful. And there was too much furniture in our room; moving it so we could open the Murphy bed was a challenge. And the tile floors in the room could helpfully be heated.
