You may think that this is strange when you go to the restaurant and see that there are very few people in the place. I think they use the reservation to know how many people to expect. I did hear from people who had stayed at other resorts, that they had to make the reservations very early in the day. The set-up of the accommodations is 8 individual suites, two story units spread all over the lovely landscaped grounds. Because of this set up there are very few suites facing the ocean.
All suites have a balcony or a patio.
Beach towels, and chaise lounges are supplied both on the beach and at the pool. There are plenty of umbrellas at both areas, but one must get to the beach early in order to reserve an umbrella. Everyone does reserve an umbrella even though signs are posted not to reserve. The beach is the best walking beach I have ever walked. The beach is 23 miles long.
