The entire staff were so nice and fun and friendly, etc. Everyone made me feel really comfortable and welcome and I had a blast. It was a great way to totally disconnect from home and the world of computers, tv and cell phones. I felt totally relaxed and removed. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken (and there have been quite a few!). "
