Great rooms, different sizes and views, some have patios or balconies and some don't. Very relaxing with lots to do on property. Wonderful place to relax
The services and the amenities there were just enough to make the resort enjoyable to stay the whole time and not drive anywhere. However I wished the hours of services would be open longer. There’s almost nothing to eat or do after 9pm
Beautiful property, easy to access, near town, but also feels remote/nestled into the mountains. Room was a dream, we stayed in the family one with built in bunk beds. Loved the layout of the property, loved the grouping of rooms/the feeling of bungalows. Lastly, really appreciated water refill stations next to the ice machine!
This is definitely all about the property itself. The rooms are just okay, and we did have requests that had to be made a couple of times before actually receiving the services. Not too sure I would stay here again however I would absolutely love to check out the spa and the services they offer. The property is beautiful and tucked away. That is what we wanted so that met our needs nicely.
We stayed one night and I wish we could have stayed for a week! Beautiful property. Amazing staff. Front desk was so kind and on point. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in. Room was huge and well laid out. LOVED the patio. View onto beautiful trees and trails. It was very quiet while we were there. I will absolutely be back.
The room was wonderful! Spacious and clean. The restaurant had great food. Friendly staff. Very relaxing stay. I love how dog friendly it is too. It’s tucked away where you feel far away but it’s actually pretty close to down town Santa Cruz and the boardwalk. We will definitely stay again!
It was a nice location. The hotel was nice, but the outer rooms at least ours were pretty average. The Wi-Fi didn’t work and the smoke alarm was hanging from the ceiling and mirrors, an outbreak of ants
I came here with my girlfriend because went to go see the growlers. Definitely hands-down one of the best resorts I’ve ever been to. Everything was really easy to get around. The pool is definitely warm for the cold nights. Aired in the room was exactly how I expected. I love the theme. Thankfully, they do have Wi-Fi because we are up in the mountain. Everything else around it beautiful.

We paid extra for the forest view patio but it did not look as what was advertised in the photos. There were many spider webs and bugs on the chairs outdoors. The pool area was nice and the room itself was also good.
Very convenient location and very nice hotel. Very new and well maintained facilities and staff are super helpful. Left nothing to be desired on our trip to Budapest. Highly recommend it!
Great for kids. The restaurant was very accommodating. They had reasonably priced meal items for kids, which made it super easy. Service for drinks at the pool was wonderful as well.
This resort is fantastic! The room was spacious, beautiful, and very clean. We especially enjoyed the view of the woods, which made the stay feel peaceful and relaxing. The surroundings were lovely, and the overall atmosphere made for a great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
