Beautiful property the only thing to be aware of is that it takes a while to get to the actual beach, but pools are very accessible and the lazy river was fun. Beware of the boutique as “all sales final“ yet no signs posted to that effect.
Excellent stay! The staff were friendly and attentive, and I especially appreciated the variety of amenities, including the pools, outdoor spaces, gym, and games. The property was also within walking distance of a private beach, with complimentary chairs and umbrellas available, which made everything so convenient.
Traveling with a toddler was incredibly easy because we rarely needed to leave the property. Having great food and everything we needed right on-site made it easy to relax, unwind, and enjoy our time together as a family. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back!
Very well maintained property at a great location with stunning views of the gulf from the room we were in. Lots of nice amenities and a lot of things to do. The private beach access was excellent and the staff was mostly friendly. Would definitely recommend
I recommend you take full advantage of the biking, the beach and the ocean. The coffee is good, the food can be pricey but they put a 800 dollar hold on your card to cover the food and drinks that you put on your room. Overall, everything was good. I’d come again with my kids.
We stayed at the hotel for seven nights. The hotel, pools, and common areas were clean. The restaurants offered good food and excellent service. All the staff members were polite and attentive. I was served by a Brazilian woman named Alexandria and her daughter, who do an excellent job in the kitchen. I would also like to thank waitresses Monica and Marcela for their excellent work. Many thanks to everyone for a wonderful stay.

The Henderson is a beautiful property and has wonderful accessibility to the beach front as well as access to the main road for outings, dining options and shopping. I visited the spa and the staff could not have been nicer and were very kind. The room service was delicious, I loved the patio facing the water and the ceiling fan was a wonderful addition as we were right near the water. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
My wife and i recently had our anniversary staying at henderson resort hotel and we had a blast. Staff were accommodating/hospitable on our needs. A small walk to their private beach which was beautiful. “Dont miss the sunrise/sunset on the beach”. Overall we will be coming back for more for sure. Thank you for all the staff of henderson resort hotel. You guys went above and beyond.
