Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a true nature escape; the rooms perched on pilings allowed for uninterrupted wildlife movement while offering the most comfortable and clean accommodations I've ever experienced. The service, from the lobby to the dining spots, was impeccable with staff always going the extra mile for my wife and me. However, the remote location may not suit those seeking city buzz, although on-property restaurants and beachfront rooms with modern amenities compensated for that.
The hotel is uniquely designed on pilings, providing a serene setting for a comfortable and clean stay.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are unique, up on pilings so that they do not disrupt the path of animals. Carrying my bag and groceries up to my room was a breeze. The room itself was very nice, one of the best I've experienced in a hotel. The service was top-notch, with staff going the extra mile to cater to my needs. However, the location was a bit far from the main attractions, but being within the state park added a peaceful touch. The dining options were decent, but I wish there were more choices available. The facilities on site were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of my stay.
