In addition, guests will find the 25,000 square food free-standing spa unlike any other. The natural materials and indoor/outdoor retreat offer relaxation and peace of mind. With more than 15 treatment rooms, a fitness center and a whirlpool located outside, there’s nothing missing from this state-of-the-art spa.
Furthermore, guests will find three swimming pools, a kids program, a children’s movie theater, several meeting spaces and naturally, an upscale restaurant. State Fare Bar and Kitchen is as upscale as they come.
