Just finished our long weekend stay here. We are very satisfied and will revisit again.

Nice property, expansive and beautiful. View from my dji mini2 is fantastic. Room is well maintained. Didn't get upgrade as a Globalist(too late to apply a TSU) but a rollaway is arranged and set up before we arrive.

Valley Kitchen is the only restaurant. Breakfasts and tips are not showing on my room charges. It's a cash-free restaurant so I will feel bad if the waiters dont get any tip. Smoked Salmon Omelette is very good and the kids love the pancakes. Didn't have the chance to try the dinner there as it's fully committed the first night and we went Monterey the second night.

We spent all the water time at the family pool. The pool side River Ranch Cafe has some good beef burger and chicken nachos. The adult pool looks nice next to the lobby and restaurant.


Some minor issues:
Toiletries are a bit cheap. Pool towels run out quickly. Room view is limited/blocked as there are lots trees around the buildings.
