    Just returned from Valentine's week visit

    Wife and I just returned. Some positive surprises--some not so positive. Here's a quick outline of each:

    Pros-
    nice, large pool
    Rooms a bit rustic, but felt clean and the knotty pine is a throwback to simpler times
    Very friendly staff--O Wayne, 3 separate Jeffreys, Tasha Lee, Shane, and a very friendly wait and housekeeping staff
    Pier is nice for a cool breeze when one barely exists in the largely protected pool area
    Nice beach area on the other side of neighboring 'Time and Place' bar.
    Really good dinner available at either the main restaurant or Sabbia (Italian)
    Beautiful foliage and well-kept gardens
    The best thing about the resort was the friendliness of the guests! Met a number of outstanding people--young and old. Never stayed at a place with friendlier, more outgoing people.

    Cons-
    No phone service in any rooms
    Tiny flat screens available if you wanted to relax in room during poor weather
    Fit on doors is so poor, mosquitos easily enter rooms
    Breakfast and lunch in the main dining room was weak...not even close to the quality of the dinner menu. I am surprised anyone could compliment these meals.
    Gift shop inadequately stocked. Barely a reason to have it open.
    One female member of the staff ( I won't mention her name, but the guests and employees will know who I'm talking about) was openly and unacceptably abusive towards the staff. She didn't seem to have any authority, but she ignored 5-7 guests at the pool bar one day while she verbally shredded one of the bartenders. Surprised Freddie would put up with this!!

    Overall, the price is low enough to get folks to accept less. If another au natural resort re-opens (please Braco!), N will struggle to survive. I would hate to see this, as it's a nice setting with some really hard working employees. Needs about a $10,000,000 investment to bring the place to a competitive level facility wise.

    We were there same time and agree with all your the Pros,Now the cons,agree with some!!!

    No phone sucked,

    We didn't have any trouble with mosquitos or any other bug's always reading about the mosquitos but we never had trouble with them
    yet.

    Wouldn't matter if they had a big TV the way it was on and off all the time.

    We like the breakfast and lunch in the main dining room,the food at the pool grill is really good too...

    The Gift shop was OK could of had some more thing...

    The female member of the staff your talking about was abusive towards the staff,but she wasn't the only one Freddie was was also on
    them as they needed to be,the day before 3 people waiting to get a drink,and 3 working the bar and it took a good 10 min to get a beer,
    they were to busy playing around.

    A con we had was they didn't replace item's in the refrigerator...

    We have been there twice and starting to plan our next trip there,We take a big vacation once a year been doing it for over 20 year
    and N is the only place we'll go after being there the first time...

    Do you know something we don't? We're travelling to N in May. Is there going to be some significant difference from our last trip in December?

    Other than the place being sold and the new owners just now taking control? I expect that will make some differences...

    I hope the things planned will still include being nude. I was there last year and look forward to going back again. Being nude for a week was the best.
