We were fretted by a young man who was friendly and polite. He handed us elastic bracelets with a tiny plastic tag on it. He said it was our key without much other explanation. He handed us a resort map and wrote our room number on it. Our room number didn’t appear on actual map. After walking around the building, we discovered we needed to go upstairs and access a doir to an interior hallway (other rooms were motel type exterior doors) that wrapped around the back of the building to find our room. Some prior knowledge of this would have been helpful. He also didn’t point out the cafe and restaurant adjacent to the reception building. The room itself was very nice and Neely refurbished since Hurricane Ian. The bathroom was spacious with a large glassed shower, generous vanity and lots of towels. It had a frosted glass barn door on a soft close track. It was a nice touch. The king size bed was very comfortable, but the stiff, heavy cotton blanket was smothering. We removed it after the first night. Fortunately, we had our own blanket with us. There was a very large Samsung tv on the large dresser. There are great bedside tables with lots of plugs and chargers. The room had a microwave and refrigerator. Our balcony overlooked the heated pool, pool bar and the ocean. It was lovely. There were lots of beach loungers and hammocks to relax in. There was a shell cleaning station and outdoor shower, too. Overall very enjoyable experience.
View from our balcony. Heated pool and pool bar on the left.

A really good looking resort. A great place to stay - directly on the beach with a great coffee shop and burger restaurant that we used whilst we were there! Easy to find, all the staff were fabulous and nice to have a daily housekeeping service as the sand gets everywhere! Check-in was easy and managed to get a room a little early which helped us get more time on the beach and in the hammocks.
