“This resort's mountaintop location gives it undeniable appeal, amplified by its spa and family-friendly focus. Despite some inconsistencies, the views from the restaurant are legitimately spectacular. It's a place that could benefit from some refreshing upgrades, but the setting alone offers a unique getaway.”
