    “We absolutely loved our stay at the Henderson Beach Resort. The amenities were so nice & convenient. The staff was so nice & helpful especially Leslie in Sprinkles Cafe. She was so friendly & made us feel so welcomed at the resort - any questions we had, she was always happy to assist! Definitely would recommend staying here.”

  • The experience did not meet our expectations.

    6/10

    361gunnerb · Couples · 2026-08-23

    “Our recent two-night stay in a king Gulf-side room with a private balcony did not meet our expectations regarding value. The limited Gulf view, obstructed by trees and our second-floor location, diminished the anticipated benefit of the premium. Furthermore, the presence of a neighboring guest who frequently smoked on their balcony prevented us from fully utilizing our own. Following a lengthy journey to Florida, we sought rest, but our sleep was repeatedly disrupted by children running and screaming in the hallway. Despite using earplugs, we were again disturbed at 10 PM by excessively loud music, which necessitated a call to the front desk. A representative assured us that security would investigate, and the music volume was subsequently reduced. While the property itself is aesthetically pleasing, we observed that pricing for amenities and services, consistent with other guest feedback, is notably high and accumulates rapidly. You have your parking and daily fees. Plus food and drinks for instance, three alcoholic mixed drinks by the poolside amounted to $80, and a two-person meal consistently exceeded $100, regardless of the time of day. In conclusion, while we had hoped to experience the exceptional qualities of this establishment, our overall assessment is that the value proposition does not align with the incurred costs.”

  • Great customer service and friendly staff

    “We dined at the horizons restaurant today, 22 Aug. The food was good but I really want to shout out our server, Rron, with two Rs. He was a lot of fun to talk with, was an excellent server, and made sure our dining experience was awesome! We are all impressed with him. Please pass along our appreciation.”

  • Our 8th stay at the Henderson

    J9148NPkatieg · Couples · 2026-08-07

    “This was our 8th stay at the Henderson! To start off, Kodhe at the front desk, was the best, if you had a question about anything or had any issues, he was the man to get things done. At breakfast every morning at the Primrose Jerome and Caesar always had a smile on their face and gave us the best service. I had a Spa day and got a Hydro facial from Bethanne that was fantastic!! I also got a mani/pedi from Theresa, it was so relaxing, and she was so sweet! Thanks for the great vacation!!!”

  • More negatives than positives

    4/10

    Adventurer749076 · Family · 2026-08-07

    “More negatives than positives. Positives - nice pool at the lofts, good food poolside. Ice cream parlor should have more options. Room was clean and beautiful view of pool and beach. Negatives 1) despite having requested (via the concierge) an easily accessible room due to having a person in our party who had difficulty walking, we were actually given the FARTHEST POSSIBLE ROOM from the elevators. 2) upon arrival, we discovered that we had to carry all our items up to our room and there were no luggage carts or anything to assist us. No one was sitting in the entrance to the loft area to even ask about this. We had to unload everything from our car onto the curb, go park our car and then tediously and painful lug everything up stairs and into elevators amd across the long walkways to the farthest room possible. Some room cleaners eventually saw us and took pity on us and helped with a few things. 3) if you get a room at the one end of the loft building, be prepared to hear the power generators whirring and running 100% of the time, drowning out the typical vacation sounds of the pool and people having fun. In our case the loud sound could even be heard from inside the main bedroom of our unit. We could not enjoy being out on our patio due to this continuous loud noise. 4) Extra charges for parking? I think we pay enough. 5) Extra charges for beach chairs and ridiculous rules which don’t allow you to use your own beach chairs or items. Again, I think we pay enough to stay at this resort that something as simple as a seat on the beach should be included. 6) Front desk staff was not very knowledgeable or helpful. Being first time guests, a good overview of the resort, its amenities, etc would have been nice.”

  • Extended Family Vacation

    10/10

    696teram · Family · 2026-08-02

    “Our family of 22 stayed at The Henderson in June 2026, and it truly couldn’t have been a better experience! Each family had their own condo, and our group ranged in age from 1 to 67 years old. There was something for everyone. The pools were always clean and comfortable, the service was outstanding, and the activities kept both the kids and adults entertained—especially the pool party with the DJ! The beach was absolutely beautiful, and our photographer, Amanda, did an incredible job capturing our large group on a windy evening. We loved riding bikes to get ice cream on multiple nights, and grocery deliveries from Walmart as well as pizza delivery were easy and hassle-free. From the booking process to checkout, everything exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Roxanne and Susan at the front desk. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and deserve a raise and a round of applause! Everyone in our group agreed this was one of our favorite family vacations, and we can’t wait to come back. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to replace the room and gate key cards with wristbands for added convenience. Other than that, everything was perfect!”

    “We really enjoyed the Henderson Beach Resort. All the staff were very kind and attentive. We especially want to highlight the service from Valentina, a server at the Primrose restaurant. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave us excellent service. Highly recommend!”

    “Well …… for what you spend I would hope there would be valet (I would pay for it) there is no elevator so you have to carry your luggage to your room. By the way the hallways are gates of hell hot lol there is no air. But guess the biggest disappointment was the first impression walking in …. Walls are nasty and need painting and the carpet is disgusting … after talking to two other couples they feel the same way and unfortunately I will never come back … I feel like if a higher standard of management was in place it could really be a good thing … hopefully changes will be made …”
