There is an in indoor pool next to the outdoor where you could actually swim if you wanted. There are lots of lounge chairs, but unless you sit at a table, there are no umbrellas or shade. In the summer, there is an outdoor 'kiddie' pool, you know one about 3 feet deep with seating all around where grownups sit or stand and drink. I tried to eat at Wicked Brew, but truly didn't have anything on the menu that sounded good and again very pricey. My fish and chips with a drink was $25 and it was not good. They have this new food court, but prices are astronomical and the food is very mediocre. They are greatly understaffed and it is difficult to get a reservation, even weeks in advance.

The Brio restaurant used to be wonderful, but it has gone downhill. I can't tell you how upset I am about what was a $25 resort fee, and now was raised to $34.99!! You pay that even if you get a comped room. However, often it is difficult to get the room cool, even in winter. I have found the beds in all the rooms to be comfortable. I do like the Socco rooms as they have a jacuzzi tub. The Socco and Mountain rooms are now old, could use updating. The new Cherokee tower has beautiful rooms, but if you want to go to the pool it is a real hike as are the restaurants. There are lots of lounge chairs, but unless you sit at a table, there.
