Very friendly staff and EXCELLENT fitness center.

Great location amd excellent breakfast.

Ordered dinner salads for $16 each but was disappointed when we received 90%brown lettuce...not worth the $16 each. Called them amd they refunded the salads.

Very good

Mountain views were beautiful from our balcony overlooking the pool. Rooms were laid out well and comfortable. Staff was accommodating and helpful at every turn. Loved the stay.

Housekeeping was lacking in that we were told upon check-in that rooms were not cleaned daily and we could request trash removal, new towels daily, but that didn’t happen until the third request, which was rather disconcerting. Need improvement there.

Wonderful Vacation

The property is kept very clean, the staff are always accommodating and helpful. Beautiful scenery and the food was good.

Just being picky, the poolside service was spotty a couple times as the one waitress seemed overwhelmed but overall, I really can’t complain.

We enjoyed the resort and location.

We had poor poolside service on Saturday. The floor to our room is very slippery right in front of the door. Saturday I walked out the back door and a golf ball from the tee missed me by a foot. Should post a sign there.

Good. Slow Service in dining and bar due to lack of staff. Wished we had a desk. Very important!

Overall great experience.

There was no desk in the room. I upgraded to a larger one expecting a desk. My husband spends hours on calls and had to use the dresser/media table and a chair that put him in an odd position.

The pool area was nice. The view was amazing.

You are totally understaffed. It took about 20 mins to get any sort of order from the bar or the restaurant. Very limited menu most of the week. Most disappointing is the bar area and the restaurant were dirty. It kept surprising me how the carpet in the Hearth restaurant wasn’t clean. The bar had so many stains..
