The resort includes two pools, one for adults and one for families. For beach access, visitors may enjoy the private beach fronting the Henderson Park Inn or slip over to the park beaches. Beach service, bike rentals, water sports and children's recreational activities, many of which are complimentary, are offered during warm weather months. Rooms exude comfort, with oversized soaker tubs, delicious amenities and those gorgeous Gulf views, some with private balconies. The resort also offers eight guest suites. The resort is managed by Salamander Hotels & Resorts, a luxury resort company founded by Sheila C. Johnson, the cofounder of Black Entertainment Television (BET). The nature-inspired spa and salon with its 11 treatment rooms and relaxation lounge honors Johnson by being named Salamander Spa. I enjoyed the Henderson Dream signature experience, which consisted of an aromatherapy cleansing body treatment followed by full-body massage. Afterwards, I sampled the spa's steam room and decadent shower system and swore there were angels singing. My companion received a 90-minute facial and emerged glowing. The hotel also offers spa guest rooms with a variety of spa amenities. For those considering family reunions, weddings or corporate meetings, the Henderson Beach Resort features 30,000-plus square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting space including a dedicated meeting wing, ballrooms, hospitality suite and private dining room. Future construction will include condos and villa-style resort accommodations. For more information, visit www.henderson- beachresort.com. Primrose offers fine dining, even for breakfast. 35
