Our family had a memorable stay, enjoying the outdoor grilling area and fire pit, but the overall experience was hindered by the cramped accommodations that didn't quite fit our family's needs. While we loved the location and the outdoor amenities, the issues with air conditioning and limited space made it less ideal for our large group.

Rooms

5.0

The cottage we initially stayed in felt too cramped for our family of six, with little room and a poorly designed layout. The first unit was a dark attic space that felt claustrophobic, but we later moved to a more suitable beach house which was better equipped.

Service

7.0

The staff was helpful and tried their best to accommodate our needs, especially Tristan from the office who was understanding and responsive to our complaints.

Location

The resort is conveniently located near local attractions, making it easy for us to explore the area and access several popular beaches, which added a lot to our experience.

Although the shared outdoor areas like the grills and fire pit are great for family bonding, the communal space felt a bit congested when larger groups occupied the resort.

Our family had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was wonderful, close to local attractions and beautiful beaches. However, the cleanliness of our unit left a lot to be desired, with issues like mold in the shower and stained furniture. Despite the charming atmosphere, the lack of adequate kitchen space for larger groups was frustrating, especially for our family's gathering.

Rooms

6.0

The unit we stayed in had ample space with a kitchen and living area, but it was not as clean as we hoped, and it struggled to accommodate all eight of us comfortably.

Service

While the staff were friendly, communication with management was a bit lacking and issues raised were not addressed promptly.

We had a mixed experience at the resort. The staff was accommodating, and we enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and local attractions. However, the first cottage we stayed in was too cramped for our family of six, making it difficult to enjoy our time together. Thankfully, we were able to move to a more suitable cottage near the beach that met our needs much better.

Rooms

The initial room was quite cramped and lacked sufficient space and storage options. However, the second unit we moved into was perfect, offering kitchen amenities and ample closet space.

The service from staff was commendable, especially Tristan who helped resolve our initial concerns. They made the effort to improve our stay after the initial hiccup.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and local attractions like the carnival, while still being quiet enough to relax after a busy day.

Facilities were good overall, with access to a pool and outdoor areas that encouraged social gatherings. The communal spaces were well-kept and inviting.

My family stayed at this resort for a special occasion, and while we loved the location and the outdoorsy amenities, the cleanliness left much to be desired. The units were dated and not well-kept, which made our experience less enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively due to other families, but the shared space felt overcrowded at times.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were cozy but definitely showed signs of wear and tear. We had enough space for everyone, but cleanliness was an issue.

Service

The staff seemed friendly, but there was a lack of efficient organization. We needed help with the air conditioning but it took several attempts to get a response.

Location

The location was fantastic, being close to the beach and local attractions, but it did get noisy with all the foot traffic, especially during the carnival season.

Dining

Facilities

6.0

The communal grilling area and fire pit were nice additions, but with so many guests, it often felt crowded, making it hard to enjoy those spaces.

Carolyn

6.6/10

Despite its appealing location near the beach and various local attractions, I found my stay somewhat lacking. The cleanliness of the units left much to be desired, with noticeable issues in our rental. While the amenities offered some recreational opportunities, the overall value didn’t quite match what I expected.

Rooms

5.0

The room was quite small for the number of people it's marketed to accommodate. It had two full beds in one room and a futon, but felt cramped. Additionally, there was no hair dryer or iron available, which was inconvenient.

Service

6.0

While the staff were friendly, they seemed inexperienced and unable to resolve issues effectively. It was disappointing not having direct support when needed.

Location

8.0

Being near the beach was a definite plus, and it was easy to walk to local events and attractions from the hotel. However, the environment felt busy and urban.

Dining

Facilities

The communal spaces were nice, but some upkeep is necessary. They had some fun outdoor areas, but a few facilities seemed neglected.
