I'm constantly thinking about how I can get back here. This was the perfect getaway for me that was…read morerelatively close to the DFW and far enough where it felt like a different world. When driving up on the place, it looked underwhelming from the road, but once I was on the grounds I felt overwhelming peace. It was just the right size. You can walk a reasonable distance to amenities, but it's not a long walk to enjoy all they have to offer. There's a fitness room that has no rhyme or reason, but there's water fountain in there that I filled my bottle up with frequently, along with an ice machine. The bodega has drinks, medicine, snacks, and merch for purchase. I can imagine on the weekends they sell the alcohol, but being it was a Monday it was manned by cameras. The pool is stunning. Walking up on it is like a dream, and there's a hot tub as well. Pool towels nearby and a cooler along with nice seating along the pool. I loved walking down the main walkway because the speakers played music out of the speakers as you passed by (motion sensed). The cantina was lovely. Water and coffee were available all day, which maybe is the norm, or again, being there on a Monday was allowed (I'm fairly sure I was the only guest that day, so maybe they just like me be). There's outdoor seating area in the Casita, and a fire pit next to it. It appears to have a food truck as well, which I bet is open on the weekends when there's more than one guest. ;)
My room was excellent. I love that they use non toxic cleaning products and the toiletries were also low tox. The rooms are so spacious, and refrigerator was high quality, and wow the sheets are soft and smooth. I enjoyed that everything was thought of - even when I thought there were no tissues, there were - just in the drawers! The windows and front door were great, along with the porch. The hotel room was perfectly designed, and the ambience was perfect. I was able to relax the moment I walked in.
I loved the variety of herbal teas, which were yummy, and the coffee selection - I was so pleased with those. My kettle has calcium buildup and I texted the customer service line and within minutes they replied and sent someone to clean it out. I also forgot plates and plasticware, and they brought me some as well.
Breakfast was continental. Muffins, bread, bagels, orange juice, milk, low sugar high protein yogurt, creamy butter, granola bars, and piping hot coffee and tea. I appreciated that they had gluten free bread. I already brought my own items since I'm GF/DF, but it was nice to enjoy their treats, too.
Grounds keepers were doing an excellent job keeping the plants and grass up to a high standard. I walked the grounds enjoying the plant and the bugs they brought. It was peaceful and fun.
Overall, even writing this review brings me joy. I loved this place so much and it was truly a luxurious experience where I enjoyed nature, solitude, rest, and a relaxed ambience across the grounds.
I believe is an excellent spot for a solo trip (I didn't lock my door while I walked the grounds). I would love to make this a girls trip where moms can finally relax and take care of their own needs, and I'd also love to bring my spouse to break away from the demands of life and enjoy why we're married.
This place was a dream and I can not wait to make my way back here sooner than later.
If I were to be picky - my shower head was sporadic, I believe it also had calcium build up. Additionally, the toilet was uneven, so when I got up it shifted.
