"The only thing you need to be aware of is the meal plan - you must purchase in advance or they charge for each meal. Unless you have a car there is no way to get to any other restaurant options. This place is very difficult to get to but worth it if you want an experience like no other. "

"The food was very good and fresh. The staff were all very helpful. The room could use a little more light and a screen in the bathroom window. We thought that the tour of the ranch was very informative and gave us a great understanding of how the ranch worked and the information about the species living on the grounds was great. "
