With its prime shelling beach, multiple restaurants including a Japanese steakhouse, and flexible event spaces, the resort certainly aims to be a versatile destination. Though opinions may vary, I see potential in the property's blend of amenities and natural setting, especially its proximity to the J. N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge.”
