Stayed 1st week of May, 95% capacity, and never felt crowded. Barely saw any other guests, except at dinner, but tables well-spaced and outdoors, so noise not a problem. Meadow pool always had lounge chairs available. Even when 80% full, pool area still very quiet. No loud groups. All couples, many on a "babymoon." For more peace & quiet, use mountain pool. Never saw more than 3 people there and none taking advantage of the "clothing-optional" option. Japanese baths below the mountain pool were peaceful and serene and more relaxing than hot tub at meadow pool. Stayed in building with several other suites and never heard a peep from other guests, just woodpeckers (which did get to be very annoying and disrupted our sleep). Excellent food and outstanding service from everyone we encountered, which was especially surprising because tips were included in daily rate.
