Other than semi-limited parking, the one night stay here was great. I had to leave my room to go to the front desk for assistance then again to pick up my food and I lost my spot both times. I ended up having to park by the next building over. The front desk staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. The pizza from the restaurant was great. Fantastic room and beautiful view of the ocean. The only other small thing is I think the coffee maker was fried so I did a make shift pour over method.

This spa is unique, picturesque with plentiful staff that are friendly and helpful. The different types of accommodation were thoughtfully and tastefully arranged on the property. The quality of the food was first class (if pricey). The kitchenette and gas fire made the room much more comfortable. Some of the equipment in the gym could be better maintained; and it would be a bonus if the pool beside the gym had thermal water. Having bars of soap for handwashing in the room would have been helpful. And there was too much furniture in our room; moving it so we could open the Murphy bed was a challenge. And the tile floors in the room could helpfully be heated.
