点评:We are veteran travelers...having experienced coastal retreats, beaches and everything in between. This experience, and I say this because it was much more than a vacation, ranks up amongst the very best.
The PROPERTY: Well cared for and clean. You would think there would be a lot of bugs (and big ones...after all, this IS Texas)...and there was...but the ones that would bother you were all for naught. The Welcome Center is open from 8-5, but if you have an issue, they have a rep on property.
The STAFF: Friendly, polite and VERY knowledgeable. You ask a question, have a concern...and they have the answer. They afford you plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals (giraffes, rhinos and the sloth), with feedings (treats) 3 times a day and other activities. There is plenty of time during the late morning and evening to enjoy the sights in Texas wine country.
The ROOM: If you looked at the picture on their webpage, it does not do justice. The room is large and, well, amazing! In the room there is a microwave and coffeemaker, with their fresh-ground signature coffee. All utensils are provided. The refrigerator is stocked with reusable water bottles already filled. On your first morning, they serve a breakfast basket that is stocked with 2 days of food: bananas, fruit yogurt, breakfast bars, milk, orange juice, fruit chips and these amazing muffins. They supply extra bedding, terry cloth robes and plenty of towels. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion are also supplied. There is a deck where you can watch the animals, but in no way are you permitted to feed or make contact with them.
HINTS: Avoid Mondays and Tuesdays as most of the restaurants and wineries are closed on those days. The 2-bedroom suites are closer to the Welcome Center and afford more viewing of the animals...they tend to congregate closer to the Center.
翻译:我们是经验丰富的旅行者……体验过海滨度假、海滩度假以及介于两者之间的各种体验。这次体验,我之所以这么说,是因为它远不止一次假期,堪称最佳。
酒店:维护良好,干净整洁。你可能会觉得会有很多虫子(而且很大……毕竟,这里是德克萨斯州)……的确有……但那些让你烦恼的虫子其实都不是事儿。接待中心开放时间为上午8点至下午5点,但如果你有问题,酒店里有工作人员。
员工:友好、礼貌,而且知识渊博。你提出问题,表达担忧……他们都能解答。他们提供了很多与动物(长颈鹿、犀牛和树懒)互动的机会,每天提供三次喂食(零食)和其他活动。上午和晚上有充足的时间欣赏德克萨斯州葡萄酒之乡的景色。
房间:如果你只看他们网页上的照片,根本无法展现房间的魅力。房间很大,而且,真的太棒了!房间里有微波炉和咖啡机,还有现磨的招牌咖啡。所有餐具一应俱全。冰箱里装满了可重复使用的水瓶,已经装满了。第一天早上,他们会送你一个早餐篮,里面装满了两天的食物:香蕉、水果酸奶、早餐棒、牛奶、橙汁、水果脆片,还有这些美味的松饼。他们还提供额外的床上用品、毛巾浴袍和大量的毛巾。此外,还提供洗发水、护发素、沐浴露和润肤露。你可以在一个露台上观看动物,但绝对不允许喂食或接触它们。
提示:避免周一和周二入住,因为大多数餐厅和酒庄在这两天都关门。双卧室套房更靠近接待中心,可以更好地观赏动物……它们通常聚集在接待中心附近。
