Great location & view! Its a great spot for families, stayed in the 2 bed villa. However, the amenities wasnt that great! one of the 2 pools were closed during our 4 days stay, eventhough when asked from the staff we were promised it will opened soon. The whole resort ended up in the kids pool and it was over crowded! Also, the gym wasn't that great, half the equipment were out of order and the rest wasn't even maintained properly. And the playground was closed as well!

We stayed 2 nights, great location w/ beautiful scenery. Clean room, limited food options on site. Staff were friendly, room keys frequently demagnetized. Upper and lower pools functional- both very busy. Would stay here again, but try a cottage.

The balcony view was extraordinary. With no A/C, the room was too hot for good sleeping. Andour toilet was noisy - kept flushing throughout the night. The food at the restaurant was good, but staffing issues - kitchen and servers - made service quite slow.

Loved our king room with the ocean view deck. It was warm outside so we needed to use the small fan and ceiling fan for our whole stay. The small TV was on its last legs. Dining on site was just ok. Good idea to bring snacks & drinks from home as there is a small fridge. The highlight on Pender was hiking Mount Norman.

This property has a beautiful waterfront location with a marina view that really sets the tone for a relaxing stay. The patio restaurant is a great spot for lunch or dinner, and there’s a cozy upstairs dining room for breakfast. Rooms in the lodge are on the smaller side, but comfortable and well-maintained, with lovely views. The main drawbacks were the service and parking. The front desk could have been warmer — a more welcoming first impression would go a long way. Service at the patio restaurant was mixed: our first server felt a bit brusque, but after moving tables for shade, the second staff member was attentive and accommodating. Parking is a challenge due to the hillside layout. It may not be ideal for guests with mobility concerns, as getting to and from the lot requires some effort. Overall, a charming property in a stunning setting, with just a few areas that could be refined to make the experience even better.

Ok - but wouldn’t go back.

Checkin / checkout not super friendly- Live entertainment on Saturday which was nice - but that meant you couldn’t get in the restaurant….and there is nowhere else close by to eat. They don’t take reservations! IMO - they should limit the time for a seating if they are that busy. When we did get to have a meal - the Food was pretty good - and service was good. I was surprised there were no “lotions” in the room . And it seemed that more umbrellas at the pool would be good - and some on the patio for the lodge would be good - as there is no shade on the front patios. Not a problem for me - but most people would not enjoy it - and I rarely saw anyone on the upstairs decks. The location is not super convenient- u have to drive everywhere if u want to hike or Swim or have a meal Elsewhere
