Parking is a bit pricey and it would be nice if there was at least a discount for overnight guests. Appreciate that there are plenty of water fountains to fill your own bottle with filtered water. Room was clean and very pretty, bathroom was humongous. Pool area was well maintained but there were not enough sun chairs for everyone on Saturday afternoon. This is the perfect little resort to come for a whole family wellness trip to swim, exercise and eat well.
