Great spa hotel. Stayed for one night for wine tasting and hot springs. Location is excellent with a market across the street with restaurants nearby and on property. Access to 3 mineral springs pools (85, 95 and 105 degrees) was included with hotel room. Paid extra for a mud bath spa experience which was pricey but great to do at least once. Glad we planned this the day after wine tasting as the mud bath is very hot. Other than the mineral springs, the highlight was the staff who went above and beyond for any need or request. Tip: bring bug spray if dining in their restaurant as seating is outdoors.

Comfortable stay at a fun property

The room was very comfortable, although the heat/ac unit became quite warm and noisy when it kicked on and off. (should have turned if off completely even though it was 45 degrees at night). The room was quiet and the property was a fun place to stay.

Great hotel, loud guests.

This hotel is great and the facilities are dialed in curated to the max. Yet the clientele can be an issue. I experienced screaming children at the pool, and other issues. You will be in very close quarters with others that might not be very friendly.
