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

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.

The pictures make this room seem a lot bigger than what it is. Had I actually had some better pictures I would not have booked this room. There was also no Air Conditioning and the room was 28° inside. Making our stay quite uncomfortable. The water that came out of the bathtub spigot was also yellow and had a sulphuric smell to it. I understand if it’s on a well but there could be filters added if so.

Amazing property! The grounds were clean and beautiful. Seemed like there was a shortage of parking for the amount of rooms at the resort. The king lodge room we had was nice, but very dusty. I don’t think it had been properly cleaned in a very long time. Paper and plastic cups, and powdered coffee whitener took away from the high end resort feel, even though you still pay top dollar. The “king bed” was also the old style with the two top mattress’s, which made for a terrible sleep for my wife and I. Staff at reception and the restaurant were really good. Great food, good service.
