Being greeted by a welcoming staff with offers of Champaign or Mimosas sets the tone for our stay. Immediately our eyes were drawn to the windows where the sparkling gulf waters await at the edge of a magnificent white-sand beach. A sense of tranquility washes over us as we ascend to our elegant guest room. We were fortunate to have a room overlooking the beach and the view was spectacular.

Having arrived quite late in the evening, we went directly to dinner where we were greeted by Angel (and she was). First, she inquired whether our dinning pleasure would be light dining or fine dining. We opt for fine dining and it was the perfect choice. Greeted by Sondra, who proceeded to welcome us and explain the menu, stressing we could switch anything on the menu or request the food to be prepared according to any dietary restrictions we might require. I am not a big bread eater, but with Sondra’s encouragement, we tried the bread, that was so delicious it could have been my entire meal. Our dinner of simply prepared gulf fish was wonderful and you could taste the freshness in all the ingredients. Coupled with dramatic views of the beach and setting sun, it was a memorable evening.
