I love opening the French doors right to the vineyards. So peaceful. And the pool area with poolside food and drink service with subtle spa music in the background is so relaxing

The food options were great. The bed and duvet cover could be more comfortable. The fabric on the duvet cover wasn't very soft and the bed was okay. The pillows were nice. When I took a bath, the stopper didn’t hold the water. Water was leaking out as I continued to fill the bath. Also, the tile to tub connection had some gaps that need to be filled with silicon to prevent water damage. Other than that, the look of the room and amenities spaces were beautiful.
