"Beautiful property.The staff were very accommodating ,helpful and friendly.The only complaint to report was the lack of on site eating facilities .We arrived on a rainy Sunday and the outside venue for lunch was closed.The bar did not serve food until 3:30.The only option was the Sunday buffet which was priced at $59.00pp.Starbucks was limited to a grilled cheese or a ham egg sandwich.We were forced to leave the property to have lunch . The espresso martini was priced at &20.00 a tad high .Overall it was an enjoyable stay."
