Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, but Not a good night sleep. Paper thin walls mean you hear everything, from people coming back to and moving around in their rooms at 1 in the morning, to the many trucks driving by. Now why there were trucks driving through a narrow resort road surrounded on either side by resort rooms throughout the night, I don t know. I just know we heard a number of them.

Housekeeping was also knocking on and opening our door at 8:20 and again 30 min later. As it happened we were up, but that s too early to be knocking.

Also all the pillows are overstuffed without a flatter choice in the lot. I ended up sleeping w/out a pillow since I got rid of them at some point in the night. I also found the beds kind of hard (and the bottom sheet was short, exposing the mattress). Let me also state that I have stayed at a lot of hotels, both 5 star resorts as well as more economical options, so I have a fair idea of average expectations.

Rooms and buildings are also dated, and while spacious, have bad layouts that end up negating the space. Bathroom is split in 2 w a hallway through the middle. This makes both sink area and tub/toilet area feel tight and congested. Additionally, everything you need to take a shower, including towels, are in the sink area, so if you don t notice before, you have to ask your roomie or walk your naked self across the hall to the sink to get what you need. Probably dripping all the way across.

Also this arrangement means the bed blocks part of the doorway. This is not only obnoxious, especially when bringing suitcases in/out, but I would have thought it was against fire code as well.

Grounds are beautiful and staff is friendly, hence the 3 stars, but I didn t find the hotel restful at all, and at this price point, my expectations are higher.
