    We enjoyed the laid back quiet atmosphere. It was also nice to have a restaurant on site. The food was very good and the staff was friendly and made us feel at home.

    It was the off-season when I stayed at the resort, and I only stayed for one night. There was only one other couple staying at the resort the night I was there. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool was nice, but none of the facilities...
