Reviews
I’m giving 4 stars only because of our interaction with one staff member, Pence. Before arriving, I had confirmed with Katrina on Booking.com that fishing was allowed (no restrictions) and kayaking was subject to weather, which was understandable. However, on arrival, Pence told us kayaks had been stopped for 8 months and fishing was not allowed. When I mentioned my earlier confirmation, he changed his stance, saying kayaking was permanently disallowed but he could show me a fishing spot — in a rather rude and unwelcoming manner.
While showing us the room, we noticed other guests using kayaks. He then changed his explanation again, saying for safety reasons they don’t give kayaks, but if we insisted, they could arrange one.
The inconsistency and overall vibe were disappointing, and because of that, we didn’t go fishing or kayaking during our 3-day stay.
That said, the property itself is superb and truly offers a wonderful honeymoon experience.
