Great room, stiff bed

We always stay at Surf Dweller and have nothing but great things to say about the resort. The rooms here are so spacious that we always feel at home. One issue with this room was the master bed was super firm. It felt like we were sleeping on the floor. But overall it was a lovely week here!

I'm and ER Physician and my girlfriend is an ER Registered Nurse during the Covid pandemic. To say we needed a getaway is an understatement! From the moment we walked in, we felt at home and we had a blast! Dolphins everywhere, quiet, calm, surreal scenery that blew us away! It was exactly what was needed for a reboot.
