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.
I also stayed there this past weekend! I'll just add a few things to yours.
No Globalist upgrade since the property was fully booked this past weekend. Aside from the service charge for in-suite breakfast, the actual cost wasn't showed in the charges. Everything closes early in this area (9pm while in-room dining stops taking orders by 10pm).
While the Valley Kitchen is the only restaurant on-site, there were also dinner options from The Market. On Saturday it was pizza night and Sunday was BBQ night, which was delicious!
Both the adult pool and jacuzzi weren't packed, so that was surprising. This was in the afternoon when I stopped by.
I've only signed up for the falconry activity, and it was meh. Those with kids might really like it though
Overall, I would definitely return there when it's not on a busy holiday weekend. The staff were great and the amenities were nice! It's a really great option for 25,000 points/night
