I was so happy to stay here with my kids, it’s a beautiful property and the room was great. However there was no food in the pool area, just drinks and the pizza place which was the other option was cash only. Also when you call to get a ride to pick you up they ignore you and send some one about 20 minutes later and then that guy decided to pick up another group and leave us behind. We walked back and then I decided to just drive my car to and from. I understand that’s a service that the resort provides but it was not appropriate to hold the service and then keep guests waiting in the cold for longer than a half hour. There was also a dirty diaper by the pool, I would’ve said something but they were severely understaffed. With all this being said the front desk people were kind and the room was clean and had beautiful views but I will prob not come back for the pool unless they offer the pool side service or another food option. There is a restaurant which I found later on on my own, canyon cafe and that’s where we had dinner. The food was actually good, had I know that existed I would’ve gone there for lunch ir prepared more.

This goes for both Expedia and the resort …when you are denied a request to upgrade when it’s clearly available and they are ok with paying more, make your customer happy! This unwillingness to accommodate will never have us return.

The units are large and comfortable. The grounds are clean and beautiful. It is a drive from anything but that was ok for us as we did our big grocery shop on the way in and spent most of our days exploring Southern California. Only let down was the pools were either not heated or if they were they were still cold.
