Property is lovely, the food however was not what we expected- the best food was in the outdoor dining venue, The staff was not able to resolve an issue with the TV when we called it in three times. We had an another issue with the balcony door, the technician was helpful and was able to address the TV.

We had an amazing experience at this resort. The staff is very accommodating. Their hospitality was the best and will definitely come back. I did have a serious issue that i would like to address. After leaving my car with the valet, they somehow left the headlights on for hours that it drained my battery. Coincidently my daughter needed something from the car and thats how they noticed. They had to give it a jump start and i was able to use it the next day. If it wasnt that i needed something it would had a dead battery the next day at check-out. Im so disappointed this happened because it cause a huge inconvenience due to having to reprogram my fob key which cost me time and money. I dont think I would do valet again.

The staff by far is the most polite and had the willingness to assist us. It was very beauty and the fire pit/s'mores was a topper. I had an amazing experience. With that said, I’m offended I was charged $75 for overnight valet when I had no clue there was a cost associated with valet. They should be ashame for charging that amount. Plus $60 for resort fee. Other than that if you want to experience a high end luxury hotel, I recommend it. At least for a night.
