⸻ We expected the hotel to be more family-friendly. The kids club was always closed and it was impossible to reach anyone there. There weren’t many kids’ menu options and not a lot of activities for children. On the positive side, the hotel is very beautiful, clean, and the staff is friendly. However, the price feels very high compared to the overall value received.

A good stay

This was a good stay! Conveniently located close to anything you could possibly need, the property is well maintained. I believe all rooms have a balcony which is great (would be nice to have a table with the chairs). There were two things that bothered me about this place: cleanliness and accessibility for the disabled. The rooms could be cleaner. There’s not a lot of attention to detail here when there should be given it’s on the beach. Lots of salt, sand, dust and grime on common surfaces but also near headboards and tables. They also don’t volunteer all parking options or the price at check in. There is self park and valet. If you are disabled and have a disabled parking permit they will valet for free. This is not the most convenient option for those who are disabled, which I am. I’d like to be able to park my own car and take my time unpacking without the rush of the valet or feeling obligated to tip. There is plenty of space to dedicate for disabled parking near the valet stand/registration. All things considered this was a good stay. I would recommend this place to friends and family provided the above feedback is addressed.

Beautiful, Relaxing, and So Well-Run

I absolutely loved my stay at The Henderson! Every part of the property was stunning. From the private beach (yes, even a shoe rack!), to the excellent service, valet, restaurants, adults-only pool, and complimentary bikes—everything made my experience unforgettable. Two nights just weren’t enough! I’ll definitely be returning. P.S. I left a dress in the closet, and they promptly mailed it back. Amazing service!

Property was beautiful and very well maintained!!! Staff was exceptional!!! Price however I felt was very high. Paying $16 for a 6 ounce pour of house wine I felt was very steep. Also, I wish the added charges had been more transparent for the daily beach chair and umbrellas, and daily resort charge.
