for your treatment in your personal golf cart. (Only residents are permitted cars).
The fifteen minute ride putts-putts along a wooded path framed by centuries' old
oak trees. Relax in the genteel elegance of the spa's lounge or flop in a rocker
and sit awhile on the wrap around porch.Breathe is everything a good spa should be -
quite and beautiful. There is also plenty of lemon water and herbal teas to sop on,
and I nice selection of retail products including books.
