Came here for a weekend workshop. Had an amazing stay. Very peaceful place. I found all of the staff to be friendly and professional, nothing like some of the bad reviews I read here. Food was pretty good. But really it's about the location - it can't be beat. Highly recommend coming here just for a peaceful retreat. Enjoy the nature and sounds of the ocean as well as the creek nearby. The baths were awesome and the workshop itself was worth the while too (intro to mindfulness with James Baraz).
