| - Loved it! Three snaps up! Okay, that was circa Living Color but you know what I'm saying!
My girlfriend and I were there for a girls weekend! She travels extensively throughout the country for work, while my travels are limited to the midwest! Both of us enjoy traveling and thought this would be a great getaway, and we received an awesome price from expedia of about $150 per night for a wonderful cabin, plus a $30 daily resort fee.
All gratuities for bellman and concierge are covered with the resort fee. And they were willing to drive you to your room on those chilly nights. It was definitely good to go during the off-season.
What did we do:
We took Zumba and yogo classes at the spa! (Complimentary)! The instructors were great! We enjoyed the sauna, steam room and japanese tub. (The whirlpool is outside with the pool). The robes were awesome, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxing. We were so relaxed we didn't even need the massage!
We also signed up for hiking ($45) plus gratuity which was about an hour long thru the Boulders behind the resort. The tour guide was knowledgeable about local history, animals, geography, etc. The hike was a wonderful day to get the day started. They also offered rock climbing ( 2 1/2 hours) as well. You could get take a mountain bike tour at evening or just rent one and go at your own pace. Plus, the golfing and the pools! There is something for everyone!
We ate breakfast at the casual restaurant - It was 52.30 for breakfast plus gratuity ($60 bucks). 2 coffies, one orange juice, one burrito and one omelette. The food wasn't any tastier for $60 bucks than the $20 we spent at the Peledrago which had lower prices, and the same menu (also owned by the resort).
Latilla's was expensive, and except for the fact we were exhausted we would have ate elsewhere but didn't feel like walking. I ordered the crabcakes - let's just say they left a lot to be desired. I also ordered the stuff chicken with cheese and bacon, and it was not edible...
My friend had the hibiscous soup which was okay, and the bistro steak which I think was the only thing finished at our table. The bill came to 76.27 plus gratuity.
The meal at the spa came right from the organic garden outside. I had a greek or mediterrean salad and salman cakes. I'd definitely do salman cakes again but not crab cakes from here! My friend had asian noodles and it was good as well. Everything was fresh!
Our room was more than ample with a fireplace - although we had a note that it wasn't environmental friendly so we couldn't use it. Loved the deep tub, balcony and the great view from anywhere in the resort!
The concierge was knowledgeable and friendly!
We did find a subway and a chinese restaurant plus a grocery store and walgreens so we can get some regular priced items!
Definitely plan to partake of the amenities hear or get a rental car!
