Really nice beach to relax, awesome restaurants just a beautiful island favorite breakfast place was the lighthouse cafe, dinner was Doc Ford, Mudd Bugs, keylime bistro for the keylime pie! So basically if your into nature, beach, and relaxing this is the island for you just bring spray for the no seeums although the hotel sells a spray for 7.00 not bad at all. But overall a nice relaxing 4 day getaway!

Right on the beach. Quiet area tucked away behind some tall foliage. Beach was semi clean with tide water bringing in seaweed and small fish. Lots of shells to hunt through. Staff were pleasant and knowledgeable about the area and the island.

Perfect beach getaway!

Quick trip to relax. Perfect location right on the beach! Several different room views available- I would choose beach view next time but my room was just perfect. Mid week was nice and quiet, really was just what I needed!

The Resort got in touch with us to let us know that the gnats/noseeums were awful and they were right. But the reason they got in touch with us was to let us know that they were bad and either bring bug repellent or plan on buying some in their lobby. We really appreciate that notice. The resort was exactly like the photos. It was not over, represented or misrepresented. We loved it there and plan to go back. I hope to take my daughter, granddaughter, grandkids, and friends because I plan to go back for years. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
