My stay at the Beach Retreat and Lodge was a mixed bag. The location is ideal with direct beach access, but the atmosphere can be quite rowdy, especially on weekends, which detracted from the peaceful experience I hoped for. While it boasts beautiful views and offers various amenities, the noise levels and lack of management oversight were significant drawbacks. It was a decent experience but not quite what I expected.
Rooms
6.0
The room was small yet cozy, but the frequent and unannounced visits from staff were unsettling.
Service

The service was hit-or-miss. While I appreciated having access to amenities like water sports, I often found myself waiting for assistance and little information available.
Location
9.0
The location is fantastic, right on the beach and central to various restaurants and activities, although it can be crowded.
Dining
5.0
Dining options were limited and the facility seemed to be in disrepair, which was disappointing given the beautiful setting.
Facilities

Facilities like the beach area and fire pits were enjoyable, but some were poorly managed, contributing to the noisy environment.
