I had a wonderful time at Lumina on Wrightsville Beach, mainly because of the beautiful views and the super friendly staff, especially Wesley at the concierge desk. The only downside was I couldn't see the pools from my balcony due to the roof of the poolside grill blocking my view. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can't wait to return next March.
