Very nice place to stay. This hotel has tennis court, pool, and it’s absolutely kids, pets and family friendly. However, it doesn’t have much choice of restaurant. So better do some research on restaurant or bring ur own food if you are staying for many days.

Despite the fact it’s located on a cove, the rooms are hot because of the direct sun on the windows. AC IS NEEDED! The staff is wonderful but often the resort is short staffed and not all venues can be readily available (a restaurant closed due to short staff and breakfast, although advertised, was also not available). The rooms are awesome (but hot). Overall, we enjoyed our stay mainly because of the staff and our large deck!

Loved the quaint quiet of the resort. No air conditioning in the summer , daytime the rooms are excessively hot. They supply fans in the rooms. Opened windows and doors in the evening cools it off for sleeping Limited flexibility for dining options , especially breakfast. Food was decent

The food at restaurant is good. Doesn’t have air conditioners but it’s cool outside patio. For some reason the heater was on the highest when we checked in.

Beautiful location, and very friendly staff. We stayed in the main resort (King bed room on 2nd floor), had a great time, and would definitely return. That being said, so that expectations are met, the resort is on a gulf island which comes with some rustic elements and perhaps a bit more laid back approach to overall management. They appear to be dealing with some staffing issues, and so you might not see the same attention to detail that you would be familiar with at other boutique resorts. Its not clear if that is a reflection of the current economy or related to ownership/management. I strongly recommend planning your trip so that you have back-up food options for your room (snacks etc.) as there is really no amenities nearby and the local Mooring’s cafe, although good quality and friendly service, doesn’t open until 8-830, and closes early. The pub food (Syrens) is good, but closes early (730 Sun-Thurs, 830 Fri/Sat) so if you are an early riser or have late night food cravings, you might be out of luck. No room service options, and no food vending machine (that I could see). Maybe pack some bottled water too, as the tap water has a bit of a mineral taste to it, which may not be for everyone. The Spa “steam cave” was a very pleasant surprise. The Spa was a one-woman show, but she is very strong, and her service was excellent. Highly recommend. The lower pool was lovely (warm) and would be for great kids/families.
