To start, the staff here are some of the most helpful and welcoming folks around. Anything you need they have it. The amenities were fantastic and enjoyable. The food was some of the best we have ever had and service was phenomenal. The whole resort was very well kept and clean and also quiet. We will definitely be returning customers and we were so happy to see that this resort made a comeback from the hurricane! 10/10

Excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel is spotless, recently renovated, and offers excellent amenities. The unit es modern, comfortable, and very well maintained. I also want to recognize the front desk team (specially Terry) for their outstanding service. We experienced an issue with the range, and they responded immediately, resolving quickly and very courteously. Great service, great facilities, and great stay overall. Highly recommended. Book a teppanyaki dinner in Shima Restaurant.!!!
