Our room was large and fairly comfortable. The sleeper sofa mattress was somewhat uncomfortable for our teenager as the springs were poking through.

Great area. Friendly staff. However Expedia charged me an extra guest fee they couldn’t help me with. We got the wrong room. But was fixed. The big disappointment was no housekeeping!!! No beds were done no trash cleaning. Toilet kept running had to lift lid and play with chain to fix it. Also no breakfast included. Don’t think I’ll be coming back to this place.

We stayed for four days. On arrival the toilet did not work properly, kept running. Advised the front desk and no one ever came to fix it, we were told he wasn’t working. They were unable to understand the problem and never came to investigate. We had to take the top off the tank to stop the running. The bathroom sink was missing stopper. The curtains were inadequate to cover the windows at night. The restaurant served mediocre food. There is no breakfast unless you walk over to the golf area and get something there. No one ever came to clean the room or replenish supplies. Lack of hospitality was astounding for such a resort.

Live music at dinner in a well appointed dining room was a bonus.The lobster roll was disappointment , though. The mattress and pillows need replacement and the use of protectors . The whole experience was still excellent. We plan to go back on our return trip

I stayed in a 2 bedroom chaket with a friend. It was a great place. A few household small repairs will be required in time, it did not detract from our stay, and would return. It was a great value.
