I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the rooms were clean and tidy, I found the valley view room overpriced for what it offered. The hospitality was a highlight of my stay, with staff going out of their way to ensure I felt welcome. However, the dining experiences, particularly breakfast, left much to be desired. Overall, it's a decent choice, but there are areas that need improvement.
