Wow, what an amazing place. Superb location right by the Yosemite entrance, lots of great food options, pools and spas were amazing. The nightly free smores was a highlight. They have lots of experiences you can book, we did horse riding and united a paddle board to take to a lake, both were amazing. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our visit very much. The grounds are beautiful and so convenient to Yosemite. The staff we encountered were great especially Stephanie at the front desk. A couple of quibbles: Staff should check the games in the rooms. None of ours had the right pieces to play them. Better not to provide them than to provide unplayable ones. Restaurant salads were great, entrees not so much but the portions were huge. Too much. We were left wondering how much food they must throw away every day.
