Our recent stay at the Ridges was very enjoyable. It was a weekend getaway for me and my gf and it did not disappoint. Breakfast at their restaurant was delicious and the service excellent. We both found our beds to be super comfy with the bedding of European quality. The shower had good pressure and the ac worked well and was quiet. Both my friend and I agreed we would visit again and definitely recommend the resort.
