The rooms are as advertised. Whirlpool was excellent, pool was also very nice. The sauna and massage table were a bit lacking. As well as the the tv/radio that are advertised in room. The TV does not have a dvd player, no paid channels are avaliable . Not to mention the paid movies in the room were as expensive as a stay in vegas. We have been to other couples retreats where they have free adult entertainment to make you stay a bit more spicy .

Beyond the room itself the meals are not all inclusive as the websight advertises. We asked about a meal plan and we're told "it depends on who charges you, what kind of package you'll recieve" person at the desk was nice enough but to be told something as lose as this on a 3 day stay that you are spending over 1000.00 for was a bit alarming. Not to mention we did have dinner at the 52.00 price (which was not bad but didn't blow our socks off either ) came with a 3 course meal bit then they had an add on menu where some of the meals were another 32.00 on top of the 52.00 we had already paid?!?!? After that we went to the bar (which has plenty of entertainment the dj was a very fun amenity to our visit) where I ordered a jameson on the rocks which was 14.00 .

The gift shop/spa/take out restaurant were also well over priced. Again on a couples only retreat that had pools and hot tubes robes are a must. They were not included and when we tried to purchase a set it was 199.98 for a set . They were very basic at that. I get that places like this need to make money but gouging your guest at every turn is not how to make repeat buisness . The items in the gift shop are jersey Shore prices for everything. Wine glasses are 11.00 a peice ice buckets 20.00 . Ect.

Overall I'm not saying that we did not have a nice 3 day get away, the staff are all friendly and accommodating (nothing negative I'm saying was due to service) but overall parts of the resort were frankly just super overpriced. Just to give another example that we tried to give everything a fair shot. We ordered take out from the delivery restaurant (their version of room service) for one when I called 3 of the 6 items I tried to order were no longer on the menu (meaning they didn't bother to update the in room menu and the websight doesn't even have it listed ) and I was informed that the prices were all wrong and had gone up. 2 pizza's and fries were over 50.00 . We also tried to get my wife a manicure on site (also listed in the in room menu that was also not updated ) and was told manicures were no longer available.

So we spend over 1000.00 for 3 nights. Tried all that was offered and ended up dissapointed in the lack of items included in the price. We spend another 300.00 for 2 dinners and some glasses. Just felt a bit bamboozled if you will. We did eat out quite a few times as well. While our room/stay was relaxing and very nice time was had by myself and my wife I'm not sure we can afford to return since a 1000.00 dollar 3 day get away turned into nearly 2000.00 before it was all over. Again not the staffs fault they were all lovely and the resort itself is very nice but not as advertised .
