a decent stay overall

super clean bedroom delicious food great view single bed comfort problem uncomfortable
I really enjoyed the spa. It was AMAZING!!! i highly recommend the hot stone massage. the spa cafe provided really delicious food. It was the best i've had at a spa. the bedroom was super clean and larger than i thought. It also had a great view of the course.
I stayed for one night and that was enough for me, to be honest. i was upgraded to a beautiful room overlooking the 18th hole. It was presented very well. however, the biggest issue was that it was two single beds pushed together as a double. It was not very comfortable.
