This is one of our favorite place to stay we go several times a year. This particular trip was in January and my husband surprised me for my birthday with a stay at Henderson Resort. When the receptionist found out it was my birthday, she had a bottle of champagne and two flutes delivered to our room. Just a courtesy. So very kind! They have something new since our last stay, there is now a Starbucks machine that will make you a fresh coffee or a chai latte in no time for no additional charge! The rooms are beautiful with a beach-y look , very comfortable bed and temperature control.

Everything was great, but for the price point, l believe a nice bar of soap in the shower should be expected not push button dispensers.

Two nights in a row we could not sleep because of noisy neighbors! I was never told about the resort fee per night only the valet parking! When I got the bill it was shocking because I live on a budget and I could afford as much as I was charged! I thought the only extra Would be valet and if we charged anything to the room! I will not return to this resort!
