Staff was amazing.
Absolutely amazing. Staff was so nice. We were there for our anniversary. They brought champagne and strawberries to our room. Food and drinks were amazing. Pool & beach were nice too. Being able to come to the property via boat is pretty cool. It’s a little pricey, but you kind of expect that for the type of accommodations and the area.

Lovely peaceful setting on water, room and balcony were excellent, food was good in general but the arugula lettuce was awful, limp/old and very tired on 3 occasions, detracted from rest of meal and could be easily fixed.

Family getaway
Wonderful little getaway with the family. Carpet in the room appeared dingy, but overall the room was great. The kids split a meal at the Chesapeake restaurant and we were charged a $7 fee for splitting, which seemed outrageous given how much we were spending there. Staff by the pool and Fish Hawk were very attentive and friendly. Cove cruise was wonderful.

You do have a golf cart available in the front of the hotel. You really should have someone drive people to & from the parking lots. A few times coming in to the hotel at night there is insufficient lighting and no-one ever to ride you back from the parking lots.
