the food was delicious and plentiful. the staff was very helpful and polite. there were many outdoor areas i explored with my dog, and he enjoyed it. the dog was made very welcome, and the staff fussed over him.

My room had different shades of light bulbs. the shower seemed blocked. breakfast wasn't great. Some items ran out and weren't refilled. i would have appreciated more attention to these details.
