"The bungalows were perfect and all of the staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was 10 outta 10 and the location is great. My only wish is that they provided some non-motorized sporting equipment to use like boogie boards and SUPs. They have 2 boogie boards that someone had probably left behind but 1 of them of broken."

"The overall set up of the building was very cool. Loved how the rooms were set apart from the main area, in our case, through an outdoor walkway. And what a great common area inside and outside on the deck! The deck overlooked the countryside. The breakfast options provided were wonderful and we felt well taken care of. The decor of the building and rooms was truly unique, loved the white stucco, open beams and coloured glass bead designs! Very comfortable, clean and accommodating stay."
