Don’t go!
Not worth the price! Nice location, but there are several nice hotels with as good a view for a quarter the price. Nothing special about this place. Over priced food and average service at restaurants was disappointing. Went for Anniversary, paid $1600 for the night, and not even a card in the room. Won’t go back! Do not recommend.

The grounds are beautiful and plenty of trails. The dining, shops, and activities around the resort are limited. A rental car is a must when staying at the hotel any length of time.
