"This is a hidden gem and one of my favorite places in the world! I hope the secret doesnt get out TOO MUCH so that its booked solid, but do yourself a favor and visit this pristine wilderness in old world luxury! The resort is impeccable - beauty and history and quality at every turn, but the real star is the spring - the largest freshwater spring in the world! The crystal clear, icy water is a refreshing respite from the heat of the summer, and the untouched wilderness surrounding the resort is extremely special and exceedingly rare in this day and age. Wonderful for all ages from children to seniors, with exceptional ADA compliance with the modernization of the historic elevator and the easy sloping paths to the spring and elsewhere. The ammenities offered are just right - nothing too fancy foo-foo, yet nothing left wanting. The restaurant is EXCELLENT (and we are from New Orleans, the fine dining capital of the US). Highest praise to the chef, kitchen staff and front of house - everything was top tier excellence! Pro tip: DO NOT SKIP THE JUNGLE CRUISE - its absolutely worth the meager cost and the time - we saw manatee, birds, fish, turtles and more. LOVE this place and am anxious to return already! Laura at the front desk is a LIFESAVER and goes above and beyond for her guests!"
