Beautiful, Relaxing, and So Well-Run

I absolutely loved my stay at The Henderson! Every part of the property was stunning. From the private beach (yes, even a shoe rack!), to the excellent service, valet, restaurants, adults-only pool, and complimentary bikes—everything made my experience unforgettable. Two nights just weren’t enough! I’ll definitely be returning. P.S. I left a dress in the closet, and they promptly mailed it back. Amazing service!

Property was beautiful and very well maintained!!! Staff was exceptional!!! Price however I felt was very high. Paying $16 for a 6 ounce pour of house wine I felt was very steep. Also, I wish the added charges had been more transparent for the daily beach chair and umbrellas, and daily resort charge.

The property was beautiful and near a lot of great food and shopping. Experienced some issues with the lighting in the room, electrical issues. Staff was amazing.
