What Guests Are Saying

“We stayed at the Henderson Beach resort through July 4 holiday. We had a wonderful experience, but what stood out was the exceptional service we received from Endi. He took amazing care of us at the pool. We had several large parties with small kids and at all times he was attentive to us, took excellent care of us, and tended to all of our needs. It’s people like Edni that make you want to keep coming back to Henderson Beach resort. Thank you so much for everything you do!” — Tatyana U., 5 stars

“My family and I stayed at The Henderson Beach Resort, and the beach service was 10/10! Josh, Arthur, and Jacob were absolutely amazing. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make our beach days relaxing and enjoyable. Their outstanding service truly made our stay even more memorable. We can’t thank them enough and highly recommend The Henderson Beach Resort!” — Vivian R., 5 stars

“I am a “local”, and I love treating myself to a manicure and pedicure at the Henderson Spa. The Dazzle Dry products give a beautiful, long-lasting result and leave my nails so healthy. The CBD oil massage with the pedicure is also a must. I always request Theresa for my service. She is a true professional. Her sunny, welcoming personality makes every experience at the Henderson worthy of 5 stars.” — Melissa W., 5 stars
