This resort was perfect for a quiet rest away from the midwest cold. Weather couldn't have been better, mid 60's to mid 70's and sunny. The grounds were so beautiful and so spread out that we didn't even see half of them. It was so peaceful and green with ponds, waterfalls, birds, ducks, and herons everywhere. Flowers bloomed all around. The grounds were beautifully maintained. Our room was perfect, a garden bungalow with a view of the bay and a few steps from the beach. There was a large closet/dressing room for hanging clothes and suitcases. The bathroom was a little older but spotless, had two sinks separate from the shower with plenty of towels that were replenished daily. The bed was a bit hard but there were plenty of pillows.There are two restaurants on the premises but The Barefoot Grill was closed for renovation for most of our time there. That created some confusion at Baleen (the main restaurant) as they were picking up the slack. The staff was fantastic at both places (Barefoot opened the outside patio the last two days) and the food was very good except for lunch our first day. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant, helpful, and courteous, from the wait staff to the groundskeepers. We had a massage at the Spa and it was wonderful. One of the reasons we chose this hotel was airport transportation was included in the package. Our decision not to rent a car, in part because there was an additional daily fee to park, worked great for us. When we wanted to leave the resort we called the front desk and a cab was waiting for us in 10 minutes. There are set rates to many of the usual places one would want to visit, e.g. the zoo, the old city. The only criticism that we have is we wished there was a microwave to warm our morning coffee or re-warm left over food and to have better lighting in the bathroom. The bed could have had a little more padding. Next trip we would just walk the grounds and hang out at the pools. You would never know you were right outside a large city. We would definitely stay here again.
