Beach RetreatBest of IgoUgo

Overview

It''s a quiet island with friendly local people. The resort provides large units with views of the ocean that are wonderful. Large private stretch of beach great for walks and seashell collecting. Went on a recommended deep sea fishing trip that was very enojoyable to those of us who weren''t sea sick!! Also went on a pontoon boat dolphin watching trip that was wonderful and great fun. Resort is close enough to large town to go for an evening movie or dinner, or just drive one mile down the road for an ice cream run.

Quick Tips:

Take a camera! A little on the chilly side in December. Walking on the beach was ok, but too cold to be in the ocean without a wetsuit.

Best Way To Get Around:

Car is advised to explore the island.

Best Things About the Resort:
Large unit with great views.

Resort Experience:
There''''s two bedrooms with kitchen, dining room, living room, and two baths. We were on the sixth floor (nine floor building). It was a corner unit with wrap around deck for unobstructed ocean views. Pool, hot tub, and planned activities. No washer and dryer in unit, but are on the main floor free of charge.

There were some planned activities, but nothing of great interest to us. Two hot tubs, but one wasn''t very hot. Pool was warm, but a little small. Lots of deck chairs available and chairs were available to take out to the beach. Units are in need of repair. Patio doors, screens, and bathroom cabinets need repairs and paint. Kitchen had all new appliances and the unit was very nicely furnished. I would recommend this timeshare if you''re looking for a quiet place with beautiful ocean views.

We were walking down Main Street and came across this little cajun place with an outdoor patio and live music at two in the afternoon. Fun place with great New Orleans flair and wonderful seafood. They have great prices on drinks as well as food. Very friendly local staff.
