Reviews

"This place is amazing!"

This place is amazing! My husband and I went there for our Valentines Day weekend and had a blast. We "rented" the FREE bikes from the hotel and rode all over town, including through the state park, which was absolutely beautiful. We hot tubed (late at night because it's open 24 hours), swam and ate, ate, ate. The food is phenomenal. I'm vegan, so I was in my glory, but my husband is not, and he could not get enough. We were even lucky enough to meet Dr. Andrew Weil who was staying in the resort!!! I didn't do any of the treatments this time around, but we will be going back in a few months with the kids this time and will do some then.
