I had high hopes for this place based on feedback I got from people I knew that visited in the past. With that being said, I wasn't that impressed especially for the price. I will start with the things that I liked/enjoyed. The overall cleanliness of the facility was excellent; landscaping was gorgeous especially with variety of birds and some bunnies. The gym area was good in terms of size and equipment variety. The pool areas were nice and the fact you can order food was a plus. I didn't like the fact that you had to purchase a spa service to access the saltwater pool. For the things I didn't like... The class schedules could have been better as well as the number of participants allowed. If you're going to have a cap then offer the class more than once, maybe a morning and evening option. The food was not the greatest, the only saving grace was breakfast. Lunch and dinner options were not the best in my opinion especially for the price. Luckily, I had a rental car, so I ventured off and grabbed some good food in the surrounding area.
