    This resort is a family resort and not really ideal for couples as you have kids playing football in the space between the accommodations, and you have to occasionally duck. It's a very expensive resort for that atmosphere Also, be aware that the only restaurant/ take away is not exclusive to the resort so I spent 45 minutes waiting for my take away one evening.

    The location is fantastic and the lighthouse suites are basic, but very clean. The massage and sauna facilities were excellent.

    We would have loved more & better quality food & drink options at the grill on the property. This was the only thing that didn’t match the other luxury feels of the resort.

    What a magical location! Cox Beach is absolutely dreamy! A highlight was watching the surfers catch waves at sunset! Loved the accommodations! We traveled with our toddler who squealed in delight when he saw our “vacation house!” The room was private and quiet and comfortable. We loved selecting dvds at night which felt very nostalgic. It was great having a coffee shop on the property. The running/biking/walking path is directly across the street which is convenient.

    I found the booking experience frustrating. I wanted to get an exact location of our suite, how and where it was situated to the beach and relative to other suites, but this was not available. A map or overview of the site would have been helpful, something similar to when booking for a concert where you can see exactly how your seat is situated to the stage. Was a bit disappointed to find that our unit was located back and between 2 other buildings. We also found the pull out bed mattress to be very noisy.

    Beach, view and location all excellent. Loved our suite on the ground floor and being able to walk out of our room and go to the beach.

    Amazing view from out balcony. Our suite was very well equiped (thankyou for real creamers in the fridge!) The fire-pits are a nice touch! The beach shack concession was much appreciated for great coffee and snacks. Although the resort was quite busy it was a tranquil oasis - Thank you!!

    It would the perfect room if the door had screens so that the door could be left open without mosquitoes going inside.

    The limited space in our bedroom, coupled with sharp-edged furniture, meant we had to be quite careful walking around in there.

    The location is fantastic and the one-bedrooms with living area are so attractive, efficient, and well designed. The amenities on the property were great too--coffee place, fire pits, grills, restaurant (outdoor seating only), bike rental, shelves for clothing, beach access, orientation of the resort to the ocean, etc.! We found an indoor, more formal restaurant for a special dinner; that was just a few doors down.

    The ceramic/pottery dishes in the kitchen were very heavy! They were difficult to get out of the corner cupboard. In the bedroom off the balcony the magnetic shower head kept falling down and we had a difficult time putting it back up, we are short! The small bedroom with the twin beds smelt like wet dog!

    Excellent views and location from our condo. The beach and trails are beautiful!

The views are exceptional and being right on the beach was amazing. We loved the Tuff City sauna. The grounds of the resort are so beautiful and it has everything you need. I'd love to come back.
