“My experience suggests a property that excels in staff attentiveness and maintaining clean, comfortable rooms, often with pleasing waterfront views. While some areas might benefit from additional amenities or attention to detail, the charm of this older, evolving resort and its rooftop pool stand out as significant draws.”
