Globalists and Few Final Notes

As a data point, I spoke to the manager and he mentioned that there are approximately 75% to 80% globalists at the property every weekend. So the “DYKWIA” approach will not likely work unless you are really “somebody”

We got an extra hour for checkout - as you probably know, the 4pm check out does not apply at places like here.

We both really enjoyed our stay and are already booked again for the fall (3 nights on points).

I think a 2 or 3 night stay is the right amount of time. You can order different things on the menu on each setting, but it would get a little redundant IMO if you were there for 4 nights.

Btw - there are no pictures of the dessert, for good reason. The desserts were well below average. Worst part of the meal service. They need to hire a pastry chef. I mentioned this to the manager when we checked out.
