This is a great property offering wooded trails and spa. I used neither on my first visit to the resort. Our king room had separate living room with mini bar/fridge. The patio option is not private. Open to the strip of rooms on your sides. Small 2 seat slab facing slatted wood separator. Early check in was requested by me and three times (phone calls to insure availability) was promised by reception but was not available when we all arrived leaving us with few free options for shade and relaxation. Granted it was a super hot sunny afternoon which can be rare in sc. The situation was handled very well by the management and we really enjoyed our suite. Pool bar is +! More suitable for families imo.also you can hear the people above feet and muffled talk/music In the 1000 block and you are across from pool and separated by parallel parking and drive. Out of 5 star I would award 3.4 * which is high for Santa Cruz stays.😉

The resort is older but fairly well maintained. Pillows were too thick for my liking. Rooms are tiny. My biggest complaint is they charged 20$ per day for self parking. I was there less than 24 hours and paid 40$for parking my own car. Irritating

First room I was placed in, the ac was rattling. Took two calls to get someone to check the ac out. Second room, we had a service tech come out to update the tv while taking a nap. A suggestion for this would be to update the tvs during cleaning and for front desk to inform guests upon check-in.
