The beds were very small. Listed as Queen beds but undoubtedly Full sized beds. They were uncomfortable and not the best to sleep in. The staff and variety of classes were great! The grounds were extremely clean. The flies were overwhelming! They surrounded you at the pool

The property is beautiful. I enjoyed the spa and pool areas. The classes were great, but they fill up and have other limited activities compared to other spa resorts that I’ve been to.
