8.2/10 Very good! (1,003 reviews)
Went here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and stayed two nights.This older property was well maintained. We had a clean and quiet bayside room with a balcony. The staff was great.We enjoyed pool and jacuzzi time, took a complimentary bike ride and hot sauna. My wife had a massage and the filet mignon from the onsite Vessel restaurant was to die for! The drinks were pricey, but good. Really couldn’t have asked for too much more.
