Beautiful place, great pools. Food was fabulous! A bit pricey but even though the weather wasn't great, we had a great time. Could use another hot tub and maybe indoors.

Overall Nice stay. Food in Tavern just ok. Several of us complained about the nachos. Got back at 9 pm and room wasn’t cleaned. When contacted front desk they asked what I wanted. I said I would like the room done. Strange question I‘d say.
