Pool seating could use a few upgrades along with pathway lighting improvements. Pool water, staff and food are top notch. Parking is limited but the crowd is handled well by all staff members. We are booking our next stay later this year. Overall this place is fabulous!

Everything was awesome. The women that worked at the spa front desk were a little gossipy and not very customer service friendly but other than that, the rest of the staff was amazing.

Stayed in the cliffside rooms, very clean large room with a deck & a beautiful view. These rooms are a little far from the pools & restaurant so not easily walkable but a quick drive.

It was such a picturesque location. The water yoga was fun and relaxing. We enjoyed dinner in Buena Vista and MTB in Buena Vista and Salida. Was only a one night stay but it was enough to disconnect and relax. Highly recommend.
