Best trip for my family! Great hotel/Resort! Close access to shopping and other activities. We really didn’t have to leave for anything. Service was great and the atmosphere was peaceful. Awesome food service! And everyone was welcoming! Very close to the beach, walking distance. Family and pet-friendly. We will be visiting again soon!!!

1. Valet, easy parking. 2. The place was great but the breakfast was really pricey and we just couldn't get our room to get cool. The down comforter was way too hot for a room that seemed to never get below 70. The thermostat said it was actually down to 65 but it had to be incorrect. We keep the temperature at our house at 67. There's no way it was an actual 65° in that room. 3. I knew it was a luxury hotel but we were inquiring about some drinks and some type of candy. I asked if they had any type of vending and the guy to front desk reminding me it was a luxury hotel and they wouldn't allow a vending machine on the property. He come across a little offensive. We travel a lot now that our children are grown and more than likely will never return. 4. There's also a $45 a day resort fee which we were not made aware of. I was not sweating paying the fee, but had no We were paying that till after we left.

Check in was terrible. Front desk was not helpful and put my children on the couch because they couldn’t give us the room we booked. Valet is 5 star but front desk had a bag full of can’t do and won’t do 0 stars. I don’t recognize this place after all of these years staying here

Much needed quiet time after family trip to Disney. The Henderson was great. The beach was amazing every day. The kids loved the lazy river. The food was great. We were able to eat at the nearby Henderson Inn and also eat locally.
