Sheevani was the highlight of the stay.
Pros:

I really appreciated staff during this trip. We came to celebrate my child’s 1st birthday. Not just celebrate, but be there on his actual birthday. Something so special!
Sheevani went out of her way to make the trip extra special. Hand written notes, great recommendations about the area & property. We planned on being out of the room/hotel a lot but ended up staying because she gave us so many ideas! Honestly, without her, our trip would not be 10/10.

Cons:

There was an “event” at the fire table outside our room. Pretty bummed we were placed there knowing this was happening. We had littles & wanted to be right outside our room. The people who enjoying the fire tables, were kind but not all were. Just bummed we were told about this before going to our rooms!
