1. The grounds were beautiful, all the staff we encountered were incredibly friendly, and the food we had at the dinner was excellent.

2. Breakfast and lunch in the spa restaurant is fresh and healthy, and dinner at Miro, tasting menu, makes you feel like a judge on Iron Chef.

6. Dinner at the Bistro was very good (try the peanut butter cheesecake) and at Miro the next time (however, our server was a bit pretentious and the hostess sat us in the armpit of the restaurant--in a corner all by ourselves; we asked to be moved and later saw another couple get seated in the same place and then moved later!).

7. Housekeeping comes in twice every day--the first time to make the bed, change the towels and robes, and clean (including mopping the tile floor), and the second time during the dinner hour to turn down the bed, replace the towels and robes yet again, fill the ice bucket, and tune the radio to a pleasant jazz station.
