Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I loved the trails and accessibility to views and nature. The view from our room was amazing. Breakfast was awesome
Negative: The restaurant was great but since most people are captive to the property i would have loved another option for food. like a sandwich place. Also I would have liked a small refrigerator in the room.
Summary: Beautiful and amazing
