Spent one day doing a local hike with use of a cell phone from hotel to guide us. Second day used their ebikes to explore 2 different cave sites. Had 2 fabulous dinners at the hotel. Breakfast delivered to our room. We could choose the night before our breakfast menu. Lots of choices. We also had the couples massage which was great. Room was very quiet. Our whole experience was lovely.

We rented e-bikes and toured the little towns around the hotel. Went to the nearby caves which were incredible. Thank you Travel Zoo for offering this deal. It was such great value for our money
