This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in. The view alone was worth the price, but the property was so well maintained, our room was great, and all the staff were so welcoming and just lovely. I would highly recommend this resort and will definitely be back!!

We stayed 1 night. We arrived on a foggy day. Our check in was quick, service was great. Our room overlooked the bay. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was clean, water was hot. Plenty of food options within walking distance. I absolutely loved this Inn. We felt safe.

Loud dripping noise that proved to be a detached gutter that water was dripping on. Also, the toilet kept running off and on all the time. Also, you were supposed to have coffee 24 hours, we came in at 415 and no coffee. No rest and no coffee is not what I paid for.

It was a lovely weekend. Some of the staff were exemplary. Some of them seemed a little disinterested. Rooms were fine, but some peeling paint. Beds were comfy. We were on the first floor of the ocean front room and could hear substantial noise from children running down the stairs you were stunning and scenery. During meals in the rainbow room was exceptional. Food was good, but not as exceptional as I had expected. Would stay here again just have different expectations.
