Better than expected!!!!

We were at this delightful villa for two nights in late October. The pictures online do not do it justice. The layout is absolutely beautiful. All of the appliances are modern and much better than I would expect in a rental. The patio was large and had a perfect view of the pool. The master bathroom was my favorite place equipped with a jacuzzi tub and beautiful decor and candles galore. The kitchen was quaint but fully equipped. The furniture was not only beautiful, but extremely comfortable. The master bed was extremely soft, so we preferred the guest bed because of back issues. The resort was really pretty. The water levels were extremely low but the lake was still enchanting as was the waterfall on the property. We visited the Flat Creek Winery where we had a tasting. Our hostess, Sharron was the sweetest gal and very knowledgable about the wines. The wines were very reasonable and we took home two bottles for less than $40. We also visited the Oasis restaurant. The views at sunset were breathtking but the very young, playfull, non-attentive staff took away from the experience. There were less than 30 people in a restaurant that could easily seat 300, but the service was still poor. We had lunch at a local mexican-food restaurant, Maria's Bar and Grill. The service and the food were great. I booked services at the spa on the resort. I booked a body scrub, body wrap, and massage. The room was very cold, as was the mud and the scrub. I was very uncomfortable during both, but the massage made up for it. Willow's specialty is definitely massage. I have had many, but none with as much skill and precision. Not the average fufu massage, but a real, therapeutic, walk away renewed massage. We took advantage of the gym and the indoor hot-tub. Both were nice, but there were no towels available for use at the indoor pool and hot-tub so be sure to bring your own. I was not impressed with the lady working in the gym area. I knocked on her closed door to ask about towels. She yelled through the door to please just leave her alone before opening it. I was a little taken aback by that. She was not very friendly. I had the misfortune of dealing with her again when I returned for my massage, and she presented herself the same. I would definitely recomend the villa to anyone. We were alone, but we have already decided that we are returning with the children. Hank provided easy instructions and directions. We had everything we needed.
