I called and was told they were already full but that might just have been for the week I wanted. Seems like they got a big crowd so someone should be able to review it.

ok. so the place itself is absolutely stunning. It’s enormous and the kosher condos are all over the place so we’re not all on top of each other. we are in ‘villages’ there are 4. the condos where we are are pretty old, but clean and spacious. There’s a lot to do on-site and some georgous pools which are pretty empty most of the time. Is there anything specific you’d like to know? I’ll try to answer.

Is this place rented out to Frum people only? I’m assuming there are daily minyanim?
What did you do about food?
How much extra did it cost to use the onsite activities?
Is there separate swimming? Pool with mechitza?
Thank you!!

not at all. the program only rented out some condos, but the rest is occupied by other people.

I’m assuming there are daily minyanim?

yes. and shabbos there are several minyanim in each of the villages as it’s too far to walk.

What did you do about food?

we are grilling a lot... crockpot is handy as well! we basically shlepped along our food but there’s an option of ordering supper daily as well as shabbos.

How much extra did it cost to use the onsite activities?

there’s an all day adventure pass for $25 which gives you access to everything for the day. pools are free, and there’s beautiful nature trails/hiking which are free as well.

Is there separate swimming? Pool with mechitza?

there are some separate hours for the indoor pool early morning or late at night. no pool with mechitza but there are several outdoor pools which are empty a lot of the time!

Thank you!!

Is the oven usable?

Also, is there a porch big enough to bring a table and eat outside?

you can kasher the oven. as for a porch it depends which floor and which village you’re in (they’re each different) but there’s plenty of outdoor eating and grilling space. benches and chairs and tables, it’s possible to eat outside.

Does the place have mountain views?
What's the mosquito situation?
What's the cost for a week?
How quiet or noisy is it for an elderly couple?
How far is the supermarket?

It has STUNNING mountain views.
I haven’t had any issues with mosquitoes here!
there’s another thread here with the pricing, just do a quick search.
an elderly couple can find plenty of quiet places. it’s big enough here.
there’s a supermarket that sells the basics right outside the resort but the closest walmart is 35 mins away. we found a roadside market yesterday with delicious fresh produce.
