| - My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights last week. We were joined by another couple (friends of ours) on the second and third nights.
To start, it is very nice -- inside and out. They take great care of the rooms and the grounds. The overall vibe is low-key classy without being stuffy or pretentious. Staff and fellow vacationers were friendly, and we felt comfortable being ourselves.
Complimentary coffee is available in the lobby in the early morning. Ice water is provided in both the lobby and by the pools throughout the day.
There are two pools. One is a small "Relaxation Pool," which is very quiet. The main pool is more what you'd expect at a resort. Open 8am-midnight, it's got music, activities, a waterfall, and hot tub. Towels and chairs provided; restrooms available; bar/grill located next to pool. Fitness center is also next to pool.
There is a large collection of DVDs to borrow (free) or rent ($3/day) in the lobby just outside the little gift shop.
Upon our arrival, Concierge called us persistently until we came down for our welcome packet, and then seemed a little annoyed at first when I finally did... That being said, they were helpful. They also offer daily activities at the resort.
The location is OK. There's nothing around within walking distance (besides other neighboring resorts). The nearest grocery store, Starbucks, or restaurants are about a five-minute drive, and there aren't sidewalks along the busy main road, so you do need to arrange transportation.
We never figured out the housekeeping situation, but I can say with certainty that they don't automatically come by to clean daily. My guess is it's upon request and at checkout. The room was close to spotless when we arrived, though.
The bathtub is a whirlpool, which is pretty neat. Very weak fan/vent in the bathroom, but we survived. Comfy bed and couch, though the pillows are SUPER soft -- way too soft for me (I prefer very firm). Nice little kitchenette stocked with dishes, flatware, pans, cooking utensils, dish soap, and dishwashing pods. Washer and dryer in room with detergent for one load. Lovely balcony.
We all enjoyed our stay at this beautiful resort.
