Idyllic spot on the coast
I gave "Accuracy of listing" four stars because it was much nicer than we expected from the photos! The property layout was fab with some view for all. The units were nice, the public spaces were, too, and the beach and inner sand areas were great - fire pits, seating, etc. The workers on site were diligent, polite and showed care in their work. We got laughs out of the "White Robe" people once we understood the difference between the Worldmark and Sanctuary guests. Only they got the cart rides! But it wasn't so funny when we learned Worldmark no longer maintained a desk there and the Sanctuary folks had to cater to Worldmark guests, obviously somewhat reluctantly. Gave us that "second class citizens" feel. Our only real complaint came from the Salt restaurant. The bar was very small. Our adult son went there one night and had a great time sitting at the bar and watching sports. So much so he tried to do the same the next night, but it was more crowded and a "new" young male employee was not polite or helpful. Our son said the employee made him feel like he was being a nuisance. Our son went back later hoping the crowd had eased, but was told no one else was being seated at the bar that night. Never heard that one before. He was bummed and it was a stain on an otherwise enjoyable week. Also, that restaurant would better serve guests if it was more casual and served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Other options are a distance away. Even with kitchens, folks are always looking to have meals out. But it's a great property I would recommend.
