Of the 9 locations on site for food and drinks I have tried 4 (Sea Beans, Nelson's, Bashi, Lobby Lounge & Bar). The food at the resort is nice. It is much more upscale than a lot of resorts just know that it is expensive to dine there. Of the 4 places I have eaten at none of them have caught my attention enough to go back. I have legit been to each of these places 1 time in 10 years. What I keep going back for is the ambiance, the views, the hiking trails.

The parking is a nightmare on Mothers and Fathers day unless you valet. Parking on any holiday actually is awful so I usually park at a relatives home across the street or next door and walk over.

Why does this place get 4 stars: The staff is extremely accommodating, great family location, the views, the trails. It truly is a beautiful place.
