Balanced Stay at this Resort
fast check-inprivate bayuseless wifimissing pillows
The check in process was fast. Ben was very helpful. The private bay access for hotel guests was a highlight. I liked the food available.
The WiFi was totally useless. I had to use cellar data for my phone. The staff was unhelpful when I asked about the WiFi. I asked for extra pillows, but they never came.
