8.8/10 Excellent! (2,268 reviews)
I loved my stay! Went solo for a birthday getaway and enjoyed the spa, dining areas, and the super convenient location near restaurants and salons. The only downside-there was no microwave and the fridge doesn’t have a freezer, so my ice cream melted and I couldn’t save leftovers because I flew into town. I would think they would at least have a central location for guest to use the microwave on their own, but no.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (21 reviews)
Villa was nice, well stocked and very clean. The trail going up to it needs more lighting, coming in after dark was an adventure. Very quiet.
