This resort is truly a gem! I had an amazing experience over the holidays with its beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and fantastic amenities. The heated pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxation, and the social atmosphere made it easy to connect with other guests. The only minor downside was the breakfast offerings, which felt a bit limited compared to the overall quality of the resort. Overall, it's great value for a memorable stay!
