I had a wonderful experience at this charming boutique resort tucked away on 7 Mile Beach. The staff made my stay truly memorable with their attentive service and local knowledge. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, allowing for a relaxing getaway, but I did notice some minor issues with noise and a couple of amenities that could use improvement. The dining options were delightful, and the beach access was perfect. Overall, it’s a great value for a laid-back beach escape.
