| - Ideal small, intimate resort with stellar service! They earned my repeat business. If you're looking for a large, 5 start Ritz Carlton, go to the Ritz. If you're looking for a gorgeous setting with a Tuscan vibe, gardens, fountains, nooks crannies and one-on-one service it's ideal. It's not perfect, but as a frequent traveler it wins in my book!
Resort fee covers all tips - not a usual perk! Employees still go above and beyond. Michael S. In valet, Robert and Matt at pool all extraordinary. We didn't want for anything. Parking is $15 for one vehicle but only a one time fee and you can go in and out. This is also a deal for resorts.
We had a travel zoo voucher and were on a tight budget so we used food credits in Mix up Bar. Great wine, good food but very limited and neither Mix Up or TJ Cooks good for vegans. TJ Cooks well known and smelled delicious and I'll eat there next time when not on budget travel.
Pool great, but smaller so reserve chairs early. We never waited for service or water or towels! These are the perks of smaller property! Water was very cold but would be good in hotter weather. Hot tub was too hot to use.
Since we were on a budget we didn't get to use our $40 spa credits because it was limited to massage or body work for 50min or more. We did get to do free yoga class which was awesome! Will be better outside when bugs aren't biting. We also got to use steam room (even though we didn't get services - another perk of smaller property.) Spa smaller but luxurious with amenities, steam room, showers, small private hot tub women only, and good lotions.
My only complaints were room service dishes all over property and not picked up despite employees out and about. And better vegan food options. That sent us off property to close restaurants. Either way I'll be back. Rooms were great, romantic, big beds, robes, big bathroom, dressing room, separate bag area and nice showers. Check for tub if you want to take a bath. Don't hesitate... great place!
