The grounds and amenities were great but the accommodation was not what one would expect at a resort. The AC did not cool, even after it was checked a d fixed. Requested a fan that I was told would come, but never did. So sleep was a little elusive. The pool and jottin, and spa, were very nice. The view amazing. I wish I could recommend it but getting a good nights sleep is an important part of stay. I thought maybe it was a one-off but other guests told similar stories. I think maybe the maintenance and facilities just need a bit of updating.

Horrible experience
We went for Thanksgiving and the parking was horrible. We weren't able to park anywhere near our room and had to haul all our luggage. We ate at their buffet dinner and it was HORRIBLE...for people our bill was over $300. We will never stay here again.

It was not my favorite
The hotel was in a beautiful location but there were some small problems. We stayed in a room not in the main building and our TV was lagging all the time. The room was clean but a little outdated. We thought we were getting a garden view balcony but ended up with the patio facing the parking lot. You could also hear everything with your neighbors! Everything was also super overpriced. We inquired about their s’mores and fire pit they offer and it was 100 dollars! I would say it’s a nice hotel location but be ready to spend some money and be let down by the rooms.

Walls are very thin and we had a neighbor partying and fighting until 3a.m ruined our nights sleep. Super unfortunate to have people running up and down hallways, slamming doors and had to call security to handle it. Would be nice if they rounded to ensure it was quiet.
