All staff are incredibly helpful and kind! ##### Craig Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bobbie Jo Dec 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pros: Room was huge and it was really nice to have towels we could bring outside of it. Grounds were lovely and included a butterfly enclosure and an orchid garden which was not in bloom but was still very lovely. The 5 pools were the highlight of the grounds with the natural Hot Springs being our favorites. It was not crowded when we went so we had the pools to ourselves each time. There is also a very cool natural sauna type room which was really neat but my glasses fogged up so I didn't spend as much time in it as I might have otherwise. At reception they can arrange a lot of different outings and we took advantage of going to the cathedral waterfall which was a short walk from the hotel but because we were across the river we did need the guides who were great. For food, I have Celiac disease and while there were no GF markings on the menu I felt the staff went out of their way to provide me safe options and food. They even were able to bring me a gluten-free breakfast one morning without charging me since the free Continental breakfast does not have any options but fruit for those who need to eat gluten-free. Finally, the Blue River cocktail was delicious! Cons: the food overall was not good. I did like my breakfast of potatoes and bacon but for dinner it is very basic and cafeteria like. I had mashed potatoes and the sea bass night 1\. The sea bass was so overcooked that I picked it up by hand and ate it like jerky- it was crispy! Chicken night 2 was no better. ##### Bobbie Jo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelli Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing facility, lots to do and see, staff was wonderful!! ##### Kelli Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara Mar 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful grounds, lovely, hot springs, nice hotel.

The gardens and pools were lovely and secluded. The staff went above and beyond. The first day our children asked for syrup with their pancakes and it wasn’t available, so the next day, sure enough-syrup for our pancakes! It’s the little things that stand out! It’s secluded, but that’s part of the charm ☺️ ##### Krystyna Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jennifer Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceptional service!
