Absolutely loved this resort! It is aesthetically pleasing and the E.B. Morgan house had the antique charm, which I have fallen in love with. We couldn’t get any spa services this time because of time constraints but plan to re-visit and get a spa service sometime soon. We loved the 1833 dining experience, all the items were amazing.

This place offers a small town atmosphere and is a great place to get away and relax. They offer complimentary activities and paid activities so you'll always have something to do. The spa is absolutely amazing. As long as you scheduled a service, you can spend all day relaxing by the pool or take a nap upstairs in single person cabana. They offer complimentary soup and salad and other paid meals as well. My wife and I loved this place and plan to return again.
