Our upgraded two-bedroom villa featured a well-equipped kitchen, which helped us prepare meals. The resort's location was convenient for visiting local wineries (a real bonus for us). The 300-acre grounds offered a golf course and multiple pools. The staff at the bar were friendly and helpful.

I noticed some minor cleaning issues, which could be improved.
