Great relaxing experience. We celebrated our wedding anniversary. Would have been nice to have something on a Saturday night at the resto bar, otherwise the vibe is very relaxing. Pool was nicely heated. Staff super helpful and friendly. Breakfast of smashed avo eggs and smoked salmon with egg on sourdough bread was scrumptious. We love that it is now pet friendly. Keep it up! Will be coming back.
