My wife and I spent 10 days at NWP Resort for our honeymoon. We rented direct with the owner (Joe) whose unit includes an SUV to use during your stay. The location is secluded with beautiful plants-flowers and the unit is spacious with a small safe. Our 2nd floor balcony had a great view of the ocean. We had wireless internet from in the living room, as well as satellite TV. We shopped at IGA, cooking meals in the kitchen for breakfasts-lunches and ate our dinners out. The pool was clean with little chlorine. A large hammock is located in a gazebo between the beach and pool. The beach is wide with six cabanas and was raked of seaweed with a tractor every morning. One thing missing was built in tables on the cabana posts to set drinks. The water is crystal clear and there is a small coral reef about a hundred yards straight out from the end of the boardwalk to the beach. We saw some nice coral and colorful fish snorkeling here. There is also a sandbar up the beach (northwest) on which you can walk out hundreds of yards and still only be waste deep. The wind is almost always blowing, which was awesome. It keeps you cool and keeps most of the mosquitoes away from the beach at night. Having the SUV allowed us access to other parts of the island and we adjusted to driving on the left side of the road quite easily. We never felt unsafe anywhere on the island. The drive to the resort is completely dark for about 15 minutes at night.
The resort is quiet and peaceful with the sounds of the wind-ocean and very little light pollution. Most of the units appeared occupied, yet we rarely saw other guests. The only notable noise resulted from someone on the 1st first floor who sometimes slammed the door exiting their unit. The Central AC worked great. Overall this unit at Northwest Point Resort is a fabulous value! If your picky be advised the resort is a little worn compared to newer resorts, but still very nice. The bed and pillows were a bit hard, the linens were a bit stiff, and the bedroom ceiling fan was too noisy to use when sleeping. The bathroom towels needed replaced but thank goodness the unit had two nice beach towels (we forgot to pack ours)! I told Joe about the noisy fan and he is getting it replaced. Joe is a great guy who will give you tips about the island, where to go and what to see.
If you’re looking for a secluded location in Provo that offers an incredibly affordable price, we highly recommend this unit! It was very romantic!
