We stayed during the pandemic (Father's Day weekend 2020), so we weren't sure what to expect. To our (pleasant) surprise, everything was open, including all pools, restaurants, fitness center, and spa, though the spa was extremely limited. There was even live music Fri & Sat nights!

We stayed without children and really enjoyed the resort. There are multiple pools, but lounge chairs and tables are scooped up quickly at all of them. There also aren't many features at any of the pools, so in my opinion, there are better choices for families with younger kids. I know my 4- and 6-year olds would have likely been a bit bored here. There's also an area with yard games including ping pong, ladders/golf, and cornholes, but again - not the best for little ones.

On the plus side, service is excellent at the pool. We were impressed with how many staff members were available in the main pool, as well as how many we saw doing housekeeping and other maintenance. All were wearing masks.

There's a main restaurant/sports bar, JD's, as well as an outdoor pizza joint and a poolside bar. We tried happy hour from JD's and drinks by the pool, and they were - as expected - so-so and pricey. Thankfully, there are tons of options very close by the resort! There's also a complimentary shuttle (tip your driver!), which we took to the Roaring Fork (highly recommend!) and thought this was an excellent value. Live music at JD's that went late Fri & Sat and it was rather rowdy. Another point for not being the most family-friendly option.

As far as the rooms, they're HUGE, ice cold, and pet-friendly. We had a king deluxe room and were able to comfortably fit our dog's large crate and all our luggage, plus spread out and work on our laptops. The showers are gorgeous and feel really upscale. We would absolutely stay again, but probably not with the kiddos!
