Went here for a girls weekend, paid $500/night because of all of the classes that were included. They only let you reserve 2 classes prior to arrival, and once you get there most of the classes are full and you can’t add more. Lots of the classes you also have to pay extra for. The pool was filthy, it was obvious nobody was cleaning it regularly. The same bandaids and dead bugs were floating around in it over the 3 days we stayed there. Dirty carpets with stains. Candlelight yoga class didn’t have any candles. Staff was hit or miss. Some of them were exceptional and very kind, others were rude. Would not stay here again at this price point, definitely not worth the money.

The property is gorgeous and the staff are above and beyond. I rated my experience as poor however because so many of the classes cost additional $ on top of the room rental. I've gone there for years and with only a few exceptions the classes are included with the stay. Very dissappointed as this wasn't clear until AFTER I had already made my reservation.
