This may be a 1 off, but our experience was terrible. I booked through Expedia and when we got there we were checked into a room with no heat. The reason we rented this room was do to our power outage. So no heat. Broken fridge. When reported they brought another one but it too was broken. Results were spoiled food. The carpets were wet and the bathtub had hairs in it. When I spoke with management they told me that because it was booked through Expedia they couldn't provide a refund. I talked w/ Expedia and they contacted the hotel trying to get us a full refund. Only got $100 back and a food credit which we'll never use as we won't ever go back.

We weren't really there very long, but our room was great, nice and big; beds were comfy; bathroom nice and updated; little thing that we loved, the bath products were very nice, sometimes you stay at a place and the soap, shampoo, etc is pretty cheap, these ones were not. Loved the decor, very cool looking. On-site restaurant was very good too, we wished it wasn't raining, I bet the view is amazing. Will definitely stay there again next time we are in the area.

Beautiful property! Friendly and helpful staff. Room was updated, spacious, and clean. Plenty of towels for our family of four. We were able to find a parking spot close to our room, however valet parking is complimentary. We stayed at this property for a wedding and it was beautiful. All the food we enjoyed during our visit was good. Again the staff was friendly and very helpful! Would definitely stay there again. My only regret was that we were not able to stay longer and use the spa facilities. Keep up the great work!!

The place itself is nice and peaceful. Had some issues while there though. Checked in and only one key worked. It was our anniversary so I paid 30 dollars for chocolate covered strawberries to be in the room which they never put in there. I waited until the last day to see if they were coming later but they never did and I had to go to the front desk and ask them to take it off the bill. That was very disappointing. Some of the staff were awesome but others weren’t so great. I thought it was a quiet place for the most part but there were kids running up and down the halls and making a bunch of noise. The trails were nice but we were concerned with the poison oak. I would maybe consider staying here again. Maybe we just had bad luck.

What a lovely place to stay. Quiet and clean. In the woods made me feel like I was back at summer camp! The only ding was a very loud heating system. But other than that, it was a great place to stay.

Location of the property is beautiful. Loved the trails behind it. The room was a bit small and underwhelming for the price. The amenities looked wonderful but didn’t get a chance to use them. The bed was really comfortable. Lighting in the bathroom is too dim for makeup. The patio was nice but not private at all.

Rude front desk. Thanksgiving buffet was not good at all and way expensive. I was over charged on resort fee and dinner. Currently disputing those charges. I will say pool and hot tub was nice. I really enjoyed the scenery as well. Bar keepers were very friendly as well.

Awesome check in and later Chris on the front desk was extremely accommodating for sure. Restaurant was ok. Loud from sound acoustics. Servers were extremely warm and welcoming, food was good but not outstanding and service was initially very slow; 10 minutes before a server came over.

Weekend Getaway
Based on recommendations from family members, we headed down to Chaminade for a weekend getaway. It was fantastic. Checking in was a breeze and the staff was so welcoming. We decided to have a late lunch/early dinner and got a nice table out on the patio. It was so beautiful. The view is just amazing and again, the staff was delightful. Our room was fine. It seemed a little on the small side, but it was fine for just the two of us. We spent the next morning in Capitola walking around town and then decided it was time for the pool. We were blessed with fantastic weather and the pool was relaxing. We will definitely be back.

Great getaway in a beautiful property. Love coming here Dining options are limited to one restaurant and we went during restaurant week so had very limited menu for our stay - plus some challenges with getting seating without reservations. They also had a controlled fire nearby that made the air smoky while we were there for one of the days
