The food was excellent, the staff were very nice. Our room was in the main lodge and was water damaged, it was pretty booked so no exchanges could be done. Bathtub didn't work and the ceiling had black mold stains. I would go back as long as I could book in a different part of the resort.

Unit concept to try: tent cabins facing the ocean! With a beautiful wooden path to get to your tent cabin deep inside the forest, away from noises and cars. Staff are very nice and super friendly (especially Sager who was a great help).

It’s a beautiful property, but I’m not sure I’d stay in a tent room again. I was freezing despite their efforts to heat it. Also they are definitely not soundproof so you hear everything happening in nearby tents. : /

We stayed in the “ocean view cabin” and it was a totally disappointing experience. The view was a partial ocean view at best and looks far different from the photos they promote. The room should be categorized as “obstructed partial ocean view” and charge appropriately. It is ugly to lure people with the false images. Also, I found several strands of hair on the bedding and the washroom was not clean, giving the impression that the cleaning hadn’t been properly completed.

There was only one robe in the cabin when we arrived but that was easily fixed by the front desk. The next day however they never cleaned the room which was unfortunate. Later that afternoon our cabin ran out of hot water prior to us getting ready for New Year’s Eve and they were unable to fix it. They did offer us a different cabin to use.
