Breakers Resort & Beach Bar

10/10 Excellent
"Our balcony came with 2 outdoor chairs and a small table where we could sit and enjoy an excellent view of the beach while sipping on a soda. Breakfast at the Club restaurant was great and well stocked. We also enjoyed a couple of dinners there. Beach fire rings and Club fireplace enhanced the ambiance. We arrived just in time to to experience the weekly fireworks show. The consigliere provided essential information for our excursions into St Ignace and for our ferry ride to Mackinac Island. Our room was clean. WiFi, TV, refrigerator and microwave were all in good working order. Beds were comfortable. The bathroom and shower were on the small side, but adequate. All of these details made for a pleasant stay."
