Great getaway
We went for a mother/daughter getaway. It was fabulous, relaxing, and a good value. We would do it again in a heartbeat! We had a double room overlooking the cedar groves and a single room; both had lovely patios. Rooms were simple but elegant. The ceiling fan was a very nice touch for an alternative to A/C (which is provided, too). When we arrived at 10:30pm, check-in was simple and efficient. They even gave us a ride to our room (not far) in a golf cart and opened a celebratory bottle of wine for us. Lovely service. The rooms are so quiet!
We were able to get into all of the classes we were interested in, and had a lovely yoga class overlooking the pool and canyon. It was a hot weekend, so we spent a lot of time by the gorgeous infinity pool. There is poolside service for a small but delicious menu and drinks. Michael, the waiter, was great. I was impressed that food here was quite reasonable (i.e., salads and sandwiches around $10-$12), homemade, and healthy.
Spa services were fabulous. Frankie, who works the front desk, went out of her way, always. The place is clean and bright and we all enjoyed massages. My sister raved about her facial and we enjoyed coffee foot scrubs.
The property is lovely and well taken care of. We found the staff to be excellent--really genuinely nice, not the syrupy ingenuous "nice" you sometimes find. We also appreciated not being "nicked and dimed." Gratuity was included in the spa services. Bottles of water and water stations were free. Free coffee in the rooms. Most classes were included. While it's not cheap, we found the prices to be very reasonable and a good value. All-in-all, a great trip!
