Very nice property in excellent condition. Room was well laid out with a very comfortable bed. We ate a Thanksgiving meal at the Henderson inn. The majority of the dishes were excellent though for $300 for the two of us (with tip) with no alcohol I’d have expected fresh turkey breast not the pressed bland meat I was served. I also found the $20 a day parking fee annoying. When you’re paying $400 a night for a room how about comping the parking?

Room spacious and clean. View was lovely. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed and linens comfortable. No tea bags or machine cups in room as listed. Spa advertising for special build your own package pricing was misleading. Manager admitted as much but did not offer to abide by the printed advertised statement. Was disappointing. Parking very convenient. Access to beach could not have been better. Beach cantina was preparing to close for the season at end of week as a result some items not in stock.
