10/10 Excellent
"Excellent place to stay! The resort is beautiful, the facilities are clean and well maintained, and the on-site restaurant was quite good. We really enjoyed our stay overall. The only area that could use some attention is the (not designated) dog relief area, which was unfortunately quite dirty. It would be helpful to have a clearly visible sign reminding pet owners to pick up after their dogs so the area can remain clean and pleasant for everyone traveling with pets. Otherwise, a wonderful resort and a very enjoyable stay!"

"We liked that the property had the basics right- clean rooms, comfortable beds etc. We enjoyed the piano sessions in the evening in the common area. While you can’t just step out and be in downtown, it’s within reasonable walking distance if weather is good. One annoyance was that we always needed to carry a physical key with us instead of card or app."
