Lovely winter getaway. The room was so spacious and the kitchen allowed us to save on dinner/breakfast and enjoy the room and pool more. The pool was walk-right-in warm and a huge hit with our tween. The staff was so kind and helpful.

Great location within walking distance to the marina and very spacious for a family of 4. Great amenities and the suite was well equipped, although since it is part of a time share, the apartment was clean but dated. Good value in the winter in the offseason, but the town looked beautiful with the holiday decor There’re lots of shops and eateries around. Stayed here for one night in December .
