Very nice property in excellent condition. Room was well laid out with a very comfortable bed. We ate a Thanksgiving meal at the Henderson inn. The majority of the dishes were excellent though for $300 for the two of us (with tip) with no alcohol I’d have expected fresh turkey breast not the pressed bland meat I was served. I also found the $20 a day parking fee annoying. When you’re paying $400 a night for a room how about comping the parking?

Room spacious and clean. View was lovely. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed and linens comfortable. No tea bags or machine cups in room as listed. Spa advertising for special build your own package pricing was misleading. Manager admitted as much but did not offer to abide by the printed advertised statement. Was disappointing. Parking very convenient. Access to beach could not have been better. Beach cantina was preparing to close for the season at end of week as a result some items not in stock.

Beautiful resort. Very clean and nice staff. Room Was very comfortable and balcony had a great view, awesome pool area. I only gave 4 stars because parking is hike away from the hotel itself and the beach was absolutely beautiful and well cared for but again it’s a bit of a walk from the hotel. Lots of gates to go through to get there. Just didn’t feel as convenient as other resorts I have stayed in the past. Would I stay here again, absolutely. Just things to be aware of if your staying with kids.
