Our stay was absolutely wonderful!. Too bad we could only stay 1night. Helpful, courteous, accommodating. We liked not having a TV. It was definitely retro and the atmosphere was great-lush foliage. Good drinks, too.

No warm water, bugs in the shower, most uncomfortable hard as a rock bed I've ever slept on, and there was some random buzzing noise every 10-30 seconds that wakes you up. Not worth $200.
