The swim lanes are nice, but I guess can get a bit busy I don't really play tennis (yet), but there lots of courses and thy never look too busy. There is also a good snack bar, just wish the hours could be a little longer/better. I just think it's a great value

Slow to start, then many items ordered were forgotten so half the table waiting for others to be served. When meals finally all served, no soup spoon so the person with the soup had to wait. Soup was cold by the time spoon arrived. The side of bread ordered with soup further left behind and did not arrive with the late spoon. When it did come- cold and no butter. One inattentive problem after another. It wasn't crowded. If I had been the manager, I would have noticed the series of issues and apologized. No one paying attention which is why this fell apart at so many levels. Maybe when you have a nice view- and a world class name-you figure place sells itself; quality and service less important.

The receptionist was nice during check in. They give free s'mores kits. There are campfires around the property. I had a relaxing night! Room: I had a room with two queens. It was very spacious! There was a separate shower and bathtub in the bathroom. There were black out curtains on the windows. I didn't realize there was a window on the ceiling until the sun shown down in the morning. Then I also noticed there were blinds to block out the sun on that too! The bed was so comfy. The blanket was so warm and seemed like down feather. They gave us two complimentary glass bottles of Martinelli's apple cider. Amenities: -Fitness center. I was here at night, so it was very dark. I only saw one small room with cardio equipment. No weights. -Spa. There was no water dispenser and no hair dryer. In the women's locker room, there were lockers, one shower, new bathrobes, one pair of slippers (that we saw), and fresh towels. The steam room was small but could fit at 4-5 people. -Pool. The pool is heated. I wish they had a jacuzzi! -Golf. I think they had a 9-hole course on the property, but I did not partake in this. -Golf shop/Golf club. This is a 10 minute walk from the lodge. You can rent and purchase equipment here. -Tennis/pickleball. Equipment is free to borrow. No shade for the pickleball court. One tennis court is covered in shade by itself. Not sure about lighting. No wind guards. -Restaurants. See website for hours. When I checked out around 11-12PM, the restaurant was closed.

They charge $25 per person, unlimited balls. A little pricey compared to the other driving ranges around but worth the try since we were in the area. There's a limit to how far you can hit your ball (180 yards) because it's not a big enough space and there are houses nearby. The pro shop looked well stocked with golf clothes, footwear, accessories. I'm sure there were golf clubs (I didn't really look, but I'm pretty sure I saw some bags). Lastly, they have strict dress code- both at the course and at the range- no denim, no t-shirt's, no sweats. Didn't know this prior to coming here.

It makes everything really easy. Once you get into the routine, you'll actually enjoy it and you'll look forward to your next your next visit. Full disclosure.- I am not a gym rat and never will be. There are plenty of people in the gym, but you'll hardly ever wait for a piece of equipment. I noticed the common courtesy of almost all the users cleaning their workout equipment their handles in the seats in the seatbacks with this infected when they were finished with their use of the machine I thought that was really indicative of the kind of people using the gym and taking care of it and making sure that other people comfortable after they use. Very classy if you want a trainer, you can hire one if you can go with a buddy and have them show you how to use the equipment, but if you get stuck, there are staff members on hand to help you with any questions that you have. I highly suggest you consider this site in the Del Monte center.

You've got no street cred." Ouch! Ok, Fellas, you got me. But let me make a clarification: one, I sleep next to my dog, not with my dog; and two, yeah, I'm a single dad, that's what defines me, and here's what I'm talking about: http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/TouhXRizjpEM8aEnDfOQ4A/l The greatest joys in my life have come from my children; the most anguish and heart-wrenching pain in my life have also come from my children. However, whatever I achieve in my life will never be in spite of my kids it will always be because of my kids, because there could never be, for me, anything more fulfilling and inspiring than being a dad. The biggest problem in being a single parent is time. You never have enough time each day to get it all done, to create the right framework and personal attention needed to nurture and develop your children to your personal satisfaction. I addressed this issue, in part, by having my kids participate in sports. The swimming program at the Monterey Bay Swim Club (MBSC) in Monterey is a great example. The team practices at the pool at Monterey Peninsula College (MPC). After school, the kids come home, have a snack, get some homework done (OK, in our dream world this happens), and then go to swim practice where they can be picked-up after 6:00 PM or so. The kids are supervised and get in a good workout. The Head Coach at MBSC, Mary Hazdovac, is a great coach, role-model, and leader for the kids. There are tremendous benefits that accrue from this type of program. It helps build on a daily structure that's positive for the kids and that also helps the parent get through the work-day unimpeded. It teaches the kids a lot about discipline and goal setting, working with others as a team, how to handle both success and failure in life, and how to compete under pressure and with confidence. I strongly recommend MBSC as a sports program for young kids. Send me a message if you want more details. With sports, interesting and memorable things happen along the way. One of my son's, Walter, qualified for Far Western Zone Championships at Federal Way, Washington when he turned 10. He wanted to go to Washington with just his teammates, not with his dad, which I thought would be a good experience for him. But, I decided to go up on my own on the last day of the swim meet to see him swim without his knowledge. I entered the swim stadium early Sunday morning and surreptitiously sat in the bleachers and watched him swim the preliminaries in the 100 fly and 200 IM. It was awesome. As I was leaving the swim stadium, I ran into one of Walter's teammates, a breaststroker from San Ramon Livermore, who said that Walt had lost his wallet and hadn't eaten for 3 days. Well, the jig was up. I found Walter with his teammates hanging-out on the bleachers near the pool and approached him. He was surprised to see me. Hey Walter. How're ya doing? Oh, hey Dad, whatcha doing here? Well...I'm just in the area. I heard you lost your wallet. Yeah, musta fallen out on the bus ride to the hotel Whatcha been eating? Just been mooching pizza slices from teammates here and there. I'll bet you're hungry? STARVING... Here's some food money, Buddy.
