Dr. Wilkinson’s is the perfect getaway! The location couldn’t be better, right on the main street, with everything within walking distance and incredible wineries less than a 10 minute drive. The pools were relaxing and well-kept, and the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, especially Jose and Sean who made our stay extra special. Everything you need is right on the grounds, including House of Better, which serves amazing food and fantastic drinks (highly recommend!). This spot really has it all - location, comfort, great amenities, and top-notch hospitality. A+ experience all around - I can’t wait to come back!

Loved the vibe and the room was nice. The vibe around the hotel was healthy and chill. The bar has good drinks and the kitchen with outdoor seating is perfect for lounging in the sun. Our favorite part was the filtered water available in the lobby and the mineral bath soak pool and cold water bucket dump feature. We will be back for sure.
