Why People Love It

  • Free water taxi to sister resort Port Ferdinand for extra dining and pool options
  • Direct access to a calm stretch of beach with complimentary turtle-swimming tours

Quick Take: It's less a hotel and more a luxury condo complex where the staff happens to make your bed.

Reviewed by @conciergekate: I stayed here for a week and the views were unreal. The apartment was huge, and having breakfast on the balcony while watching the turquoise waves was the best way to start the day. It felt like my own private beach house.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    Take the free water taxi to Port Ferdinand just for the ride—it's a scenic coastal tour in itself.

  • ✨

    Walk south along the beach to Mullins Beach Bar for a livelier atmosphere and local food.

  • ✨

    Ask the concierge to pre-stock your fridge before arrival; it's worth the service fee to start vacation immediately.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The 'bikini elevator' connects your terrace directly to the pool deck so you don't have to walk through the lobby wet.

  • 💡The rear bedrooms can feel a bit dark compared to the sun-drenched living areas.

  • 💡You might spot Green Monkeys in the gardens early in the morning.

  • 💡The on-site restaurant menu is limited; you will likely want to eat out or cook for most meals.

  • 💡The 110v outlets are US-style, so American travelers don't need adapters.
