This spa is unique, picturesque with plentiful staff that are friendly and helpful. The different types of accommodation were thoughtfully and tastefully arranged on the property. The quality of the food was first class (if pricey). The kitchenette and gas fire made the room much more comfortable. Some of the equipment in the gym could be better maintained; and it would be a bonus if the pool beside the gym had thermal water. Having bars of soap for handwashing in the room would have been helpful. And there was too much furniture in our room; moving it so we could open the Murphy bed was a challenge. And the tile floors in the room could helpfully be heated.

Beautiful location, well maintained and clean. With respect to the Grotto Spa, the spa services were really good however our schedule didn’t allow us to use the mineral pools on the first day we arrived and so we were going to use them on the second day but we were told it would cost us an additional $50 each. This is after we stayed at the resort overnight and spent over $400 per person on spa services. We were really disappointed.

When we checked in we were told that no working in house staff would be available. We entered our unit 510 and immediately found out that the closet on the right after entering was broken and part of the door could not be opened. The next thing we discovered was when we would flush our toilet the toilet bowl would not re-fil which required me to take the top off the tank and play with the parts to get the flush to re-fil. This was required every time we would flush the toilet. Next we discovered that the stopper in the sink did not have the part required to open and close the sink and we had to use two knives to open in order to brush our teeth without having the sink fill up. Then the first morning I could not use the sink to shave as the sink would again be closed and would require us to use knives to open again if we could. This did take some time to do the first time and we did not want to have the sink full of water during our stay. When I reported the above information when I checked out, the agent did say sorry but I would have thought some adjustment would have been awarded to us for our aggrivation that was experienced by us, but was not. Very doubtful that we would go to your property again. Perhaps we would attend at one of the other properties available near your property. I have checked them out. Thank you and have a great day.

We saw a double rainbow on our beach stroll and had a lovely mineral bath in our room with a jetted tub, we stayed in one of the bungalows, a bit of traffic noise due to proximity to the hwy, but still lovely.
