Reasonably cheap and can be increased a bit. If the extra money goes into regular maintenance by a dedicated paid staff.
The place is pleasant and quiet. The staff is kind. The yoga teachers are good. Close to the city but not noticeable, surrounded by trees and nature. I had a great time there and got the peace and quiet I needed.
