Nancy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not what we expected

Check-in experience was okay. Just handed a resort map and information sheet. Told that it had "all info" we needed. Found later that they should have been directing "traffic" to there new restaurant Theodosia. They made zero attempt to do so!!! It is not cheap to stay here. Really expected to be welcomed much, much better.
Phillip, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check-in was average. Easy parking. Room had about 30 mosquitoes in it. Not ideal. Nighttime brought more. The lower lobby of our building literally had 2 swarms of mosquitoes on the walls. We’re talking apocalyptic number of bugs. Easy to fumigate, I’d presume. Not relaxing. Not worthy of another stay.

Calvin did a great job welcoming our family to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. The onsite restaurant had great service, amazing food, and I felt the prices were on point. Being the second year we have vacationed here we were not disappointed and will likely be back!

Last minute reservation turned out to be one of the best times for my family. Excellent staff, service and quality. This resort can be for family or as a couple or even if you are by yourself.

Very nice place. Greeted with a hot coco bar. Kimball’s restaurant was good- only downer was when the heat came on sounded like the room next door was running a long shower all hours of the night in the building we were in
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed for the first time this past week. It was enjoyable but some things were lacking, no microwave in room, firepits not lit up at night as advertised (things you would expect from a typical resort). Dining options were decent but very pricy. Property was clean & quiet. Overall we had a good experience & will definitely be back.
Joseph, 6-night trip

Great resort near the ocean steps away from the ocean. Duck North Carolina has one road in and out the traffic getting in and out was awful

Jerry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean. The property is on the beach. Amazing sunsets. Loved seeing the dolphins swim by each day. The family enjoyed both outdoor pools and hot tubs. Restaurants, shopping, and walking trails close by. Will definitely go back.
Doreena, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was friendly, professional, and accommodating. The room was very nice with ample space. My only suggestion would be to deep clean or replace the hall carpeting, particularly around the elevator.
Dawn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice location. The property definitely needs renovation. It has a lot of potential with multiple restaurants and ideal location. Also they need more beach chairs . There is no one directly on the beach at all time setting up umbrellas. Finally, if anybody has allergies to animals they do allow dogs in every single room of the hotel. I believe renovation is pending next year so would love to revisit when it does.
