“The distinctive outdoor spaces here capture sunset views, and the proximity to the beach adds value, even if the resort moniker feels a touch ambitious. Farm-to-table dining emphasizes local ingredients, while complimentary beach cruisers encourage exploring the surroundings. I think it's a solid choice, particularly for business or family stays that prioritize location and event space.”
