The resort boasts stunning views and charming accommodations, especially the tent suites, but I found the overall experience lacking in service and amenities for the price. While the location is indeed beautiful, my experience was marred by cleanliness issues and a lack of responsiveness from management. Despite enjoying the dining options, I can't overlook the negatives that would keep me from returning.

My stay at this resort was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the unique tenthouse suite was a beautiful experience, and once the hot water issue was resolved, showers were quite pleasant. However, for the high price, the overall maintenance and service fell short. The dining experience was unsatisfactory, and the staff seemed disorganized. It felt like the resort is struggling to maintain its past glory.

We had a delightful and unique experience at this resort. The location surrounded by nature was stunning, perfect for a getaway. I loved the elegance of the restaurant and the fantastic seafood chowder. However, the dining options could use improvement as the food was fairly bland at times. I found the accommodations to be cozy but a bit cramped, particularly in the main lodge rooms. Overall, it was a memorable stay with some room for enhancement.

We had a lovely four-night stay in a luxury tent house suite that offered great comfort and beautiful views of the bay. The activities available nearby were fantastic, and the sunsets from our deck were unforgettable. However, our dining experience left much to be desired, and the service was inconsistent, especially when we arrived late in the evening. Overall, the unique accommodations and natural surroundings were memorable, but improvements in service and dining would enhance the experience.
