I had a wonderful experience glamping in the Toi Toi tent with stunning ocean views. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, making for a perfect getaway. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, and while the restaurant was okay, it didn't match the quality I'd expect for the price. Overall, it was a great place to unwind and disconnect, but dining improvement would be beneficial.

I recently spent a weekend at the resort in celebration of our anniversary, and while the views were simply stunning, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The service was inconsistent and sometimes frustrating, especially during dining. However, there were a couple of standout staff members who truly made a difference and the spa facilities were a highlight for relaxation.

Our room offered amazing views and was very clean, but felt a bit bland without any added touches like books or magazines.

During my stay, I found the location to be truly breathtaking, offering stunning ocean views. However, while the coffee was delightful and the dog-friendly deck was a nice touch, the overall experience was overshadowed by significant issues in our room that detracted from the escape we were hoping for. It feels like the resort could be so much more with some attention to detail and maintenance, making it worth the higher price point.

Our studio room was disappointing and felt more like a cheap motel than a resort. It was dirty, with peeling paint and a distressed appearance, making it difficult to relax.

While some staff were friendly, the service in the restaurant was chaotic and inexperienced. It was hard to get their attention, and there was no warm welcome to set a positive tone.

The location is fantastic, with beautiful views of the ocean, but the approach to the resort is riddled with potholes which does not give a good first impression.
Dining

Dinner was decent in taste, but the environment was loud and chaotic. The menu was underwhelming for the prices charged, making it tough to enjoy a peaceful meal.
Facilities

The facilities left much to be desired, with unkempt grounds and unfinished buildings detracting from any charm the resort could have showcased.

I had a disappointing lunch experience at Castaways, despite its fantastic location overlooking the beach. The service was poor and the food was not up to par, ruining what should have been a memorable catch-up with friends. While the view is stunning, the overall dining experience did not meet expectations, especially given the high hopes based on past visits.
