This is our second visit to Dr. Wilkinson's, and it was just as fantastic as the first time. It has become an annual destination for our family, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay. Just go—you won't be disappointed! I give them a 10 out of 10!

Comfortable stay at a fun property

The room was very comfortable, although the heat/ac unit became quite warm and noisy when it kicked on and off. (should have turned if off completely even though it was 45 degrees at night). The room was quiet and the property was a fun place to stay.

Great spa hotel. Stayed for one night for wine tasting and hot springs. Location is excellent with a market across the street with restaurants nearby and on property. Access to 3 mineral springs pools (85, 95 and 105 degrees) was included with hotel room. Paid extra for a mud bath spa experience which was pricey but great to do at least once. Glad we planned this the day after wine tasting as the mud bath is very hot. Other than the mineral springs, the highlight was the staff who went above and beyond for any need or request. Tip: bring bug spray if dining in their restaurant as seating is outdoors.

Parking and check-in were super easy. This is more of a motel than a hotel or a resort but it was still really nice. It is a walk up window to order food at the restaurant, but the food was pretty good. I wish it had a full bar, but they only had beer and wine and wine-based cocktails. The pools were great, even in the freezing rain. I tried to book us some massages three weeks before our arrival, but they were already booked up so that was pretty annoying but not a big deal. Had to walk to a spa across the street in the rain. The room was spacious and updated and we had a very good night of sleep.

Ughgh save your $$ and book something in the city. Cost must just be for approximity to the beach & still its at least a walk block. It is an old & run down property that they try to fix by putting a DJ in the lobby. No where to take the dogs potty & no restaurants open late night near by. Oh & not the deal breaker but the tv only has local cable. You cant even log onto Netflix.
