New and noteworthy: A $35-million renovation improved the lobby, spa, entrance and guest rooms.
The stay: A weekend getaway feels removed from the everyday, thanks to the resort’s climate-defying landscape.
The scene: Flocks of regular folks come for girlfriend getaways, weddings, conventions, golf tournaments, vacations and Sunday brunch.
Deal maker: Multiple dining, drinking and recreation options, most well-priced, cater to a range of tastes.
Deal breaker: Vacationers may interpret “lose your cares” as “forget your manners”; it’s not necessarily a private or romantic spot.
