I was a bit nervous after reading the reviews recounting burgled rooms, stolen golf carts, no hot water, garbage strewn beaches etc etc. I am pleased to report that I saw none of that. The beach was beautiful and beautifully deserted (there was some small controversy about not enough loungers in the North beach cottage area, but I did my best to ignore it). Food is tasty, especially the daily specials (the base menu doesn't have much variety so when there is no special as happened a couple of nights, the pickings can be slim). The staff couldn't be warmer or nicer, and if things happen on island time, that's ok, as they go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to take care of you. (You need to not be rushed though - you will need to say what you need over and over again in the restaurant - and it took 9(!) calls and 2 in person visits to get coffee pods for the coffee maker, but service is always with a smile when it comes. The beach cottages are lovely and comfortable, if lacking the qualities of a "luxury" resort - there are no robes in the rooms (a real shame when the deck is so nice to sit on), no tables on the aforementioned decks, no place to put your toiletries except the top of your toilet. But the cottages are spacious and clean, and the beds comfy, and if housekeeping does not consistently come either for cleaning or turn down or to refresh towels, some of those things will happen on some days during your stay, and that is probably enough. I always had a lot of hot water. The spa is great! Again, not fancy, but great massage in a beautiful setting. If you want to chill in a relaxed isolated setting with incredibly kind staff, this is it! If you need true luxury or consistent amenities/service this is not it. I will almost certainly go back (bringing my own robe and maybe my own coffee pods!) just for the setting and the staff.
