My time at the resort was mostly lovely, with a cozy and clean cabin that offered all the comforts of home. The location near the beach was fantastic, though the Wi-Fi connection left a lot to be desired. I had a great experience with the friendly owner and other guests, but some aspects of service could definitely use improvement, especially related to booking issues. Overall, I'd say it offers good value for the price.

We had a wonderful stay at the resort, and I can't wait to return. The spacious two-bedroom unit was perfect for our group, and having the beach and river so close was a huge plus. However, the Wi-Fi was quite poor, making it difficult to stay connected. Overall, it was great value for what we paid, especially with all the nearby attractions.

The sandy beach area was stunning, and having facilities like a kids' playground and close proximity to nature added to the charm.

My stay was quite a rollercoaster. Initially, I was really looking forward to our camping experience, but we were double booked into a cramped space, which was really frustrating. On the plus side, once we sorted it out, the beach area was lovely and the overall atmosphere was charming. The staff could definitely improve on their customer service, though.

We ended up in a tiny corner which was barely sufficient for one tent, but thankfully one of the other guests was kind enough to share their spot.

Our camping experience was quite challenging due to double booking, leading to initial rudeness from staff and a less than ideal campsite. However, the kindness of fellow campers somewhat saved the situation. The facilities leave much to be desired, but the location offers a beautiful setting near the Englishman River.
