When I was in high school back in the 60's everyone wanted to go there for their honeymoon. I think they still might! "Among the on-site dining options are a steakhouse/lounge, a cafe and a bakery. There's also an elegant spa offering beauty and wellness treatments." Also the "Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge with nightly dancing and live music."
