Staying at The Red Cottage, Windward Suite was an extremely comfortable and relaxing experience. The rooms were super clean and gorgeous inside with plenty of extra space. The service was excellent, especially from the friendly bartender. The location couldn't be more perfect, sandwiched between the shore and popular shops & restaurants. The dining experience, while convenient for in-room delivery, was a bit skimpy. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
