What People Say

Guests love the peaceful setting, friendly staff, and spotless facilities. Many reviewers mention the relaxing spa and well-maintained golf courses, even if they’re not golfers. The on-site dining gets high marks, especially for its wine pairings and scenic views.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the resort feels a bit secluded, so you'll need a car or rideshare to get to concert venues or nightlife. While it’s not a party hotel, that’s exactly what makes it a great recovery zone after a loud night.
