Great spa but they need...
Liked: Meditation class was excellent, massages were SUBLIME. I would come to stay again because what it offers is relaxation in an awesome setting. But PLEASE, fix the hospitality, the food, and the coffee.
Disliked: Breakfast was served at 8am, which I found to be too late. There were no options for those with dietary needs that prevents them from eating sugar/carbs. A properly stocked coffee bar with a proper barista or someone with the skill is desperately needed. Meditation class was excellent, massages: sublime, need facialists and manicurists on site and better/ faster room service. The scrambled eggs I ordered were $20 for about cup that were underwhelming with 2 pieces of toast that can only be described as depressing.

Phones in every room and an actual concierge would also help.

Interesting.
Liked: The location was beautiful. Lake view. Facility did not match location.
Disliked: Check in was strange. Room was eclectic which was ok but not as clean as I like. Shower was so small you could barely turn around in it. Breakfast would have been ok but no staff manning it. No clean coffee cups. Had to wash one to use. We were in the breakfast area for about 30 minutes and never saw anyone check on supplies.

Very interesting place
Liked: Common area, view. Comfortable bed. Met nice people.
Disliked: Breakfast was pretty sparse . Hallways were noisy when groups went down our hall. Our tv was unplugged but we couldn’t tell and felt housekeeping should have known this.

This is a rundown place,...
Liked: Prime location. Large windows facing an amazing view of the lake and surroundings. The mattress was comfortable (if you manage to climb up to the bed). Adam was very responsive and did hi best to solve all the issues we had (see in what we didn't like).
Disliked: Breakfast (that was included in our room rate) was very limited and unsatisfying. Options to expand it (e.g., to include eggs) were very expensive, and would need to be ordered the day before. Water pressure was very low and unsteady, to the point that twice there was no water at all (this is where Adam was very responsive and problem was fixed quickly). There was supposed to be a free yoga class on Saturday morning. We were looking forward to it, and made sure the staff knew we were interested. Yet, at the time of the event, the instructor told us nonchalantly that the class was canceled due to no sign-ups. When we said we did sign up, she unwillingly agreed to "teach" the class. Absolutely bad atmosphere (and not really yoga!).Upon checking out on our last morning - there was no breakfast at all, and there was no-one at the front desk. We had to leave a note and just left.This is a rundown place that maybe once had a nice concept. We are not coming back.

Won’t go back!!
Liked: The lake views, except it was raining, the wind was about 60 mph. ( not kidding) the beds were not comfy.We paid for two nights, but after the first night we decided to go home since bed was uncomfortable. They wouldn’t give us remainder of money back. They would give us credit for one year. We said no, we won’t come back. Still no money returned. The place is an old monastery which I was good. But owners weren’t giving . The greeter was Rose, very nice gal!The water at night trickled, our friends bathroom also, no hot water. But in morning about 7 am the water seemed to be fine and it got hot again. Proprietors didn’t stay on property , rose left at 9:30 , so I believe we were on our own.
Disliked: The only thing I liked was if it hadn’t of rained the view would be nice.There are Buddhist statues n pics in most parts of building but not in room. The kitchen dinning area was nice. Breakfast was included. It was ok. There are Buddhas on property but they don’t seem to keep up grad around the statues.

A Nice and comfortable hotel,...
Liked: Good value for money, friendly staff, pretty views
Disliked: We missed curtains in the east-facing windows of our room— that would have allowed us to sleep in!

Total QUIET and MIND experience
Liked: The view from my room of Lake Cuayamaca created the relaxation and desire to isolate fantastic. I loved the peace and quiet and solitude. The facility itself was very quiet and conducive to quieting your mind. The wilderness around the hotel was so eye catching and STARS out that you can never see from San Diego!
Disliked: 2nd night I could smell food being cooked from their kitchen.
