“Nestled in the mountains near Santa Cruz, this resort strikes me as a mixed experience, balancing family-friendly aspects with some dated elements. The grounds and hiking trails clearly stand out, but anticipate possible overcrowding at the pool and note that some rooms might show their age. I think it's a place to consider for its location and event spaces, but set expectations carefully regarding the spa and room quality.”
