Beautiful wooded property on the water. Our room had an ocean view. The rooms are in many smaller buildings scattered through the property. It is large enough that we drove back to the main building for dinner.

Little dated and over priced.

When we checked in it would have been good to have known the next day we could have had spa treatment at half price. The three of us would have been interested in that and frustrated that we were not told at time of booking in or any information in our room. The room was dated the bathroom lacked soap, tissues, The door had some damage to it where some hooks had obviously been and fallen off and holes were in the door. The door at the bottom was so ratty and the taps hot and cold indicator were just placed on so every time you turn the handle to get water they popped off.

The property is beautiful and the beach access is fantastic. We did the Dip and Dine package at the Grotto Spa as well which was lovely. Our room was in the Jedidiah rooms (studio with a kitchenette)—it was nice but unfortunately couldn't sleep well either due to the bed or lack of AC (warm sleeper). Overall great stay though!

I like the forested surroundings and the accessibility to the sandy beautiful beach. We were on the first floor and unfortunately we could hear the guests above us walking on the floor and moving the kitchen chairs. Also, it was quite loud when the cleaning staff were cleaning the unit above us.
