Excellent Golf and Spa Getaway

golf courseefficient staffcooked eggs
The golf course presented great views of the surrounding area. I found the staff to be very efficient. Breakfast offered good, plentiful options, and I appreciated the ability to order various types of cooked eggs. I would come back to this resort for another golf trip.
The rooms lacked air conditioning, and opening the windows was not possible. This made for a very warm night.
