Fantastic Gym Facilities

“I had an awesome experience at the gym, which is well-equipped with a decent range of equipment. It features a power rack, several benches, and a dedicated incline bench. While I appreciated the available equipment, I noted there weren't enough plates for heavy lifters. Still, it was great to be able to stay active during my stay!” view full review

My stay at Ponderosa Golf & Country Resort was quite enjoyable. surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful golf slopes. The Olympic-sized pool, which I was really looking forward to, was closed during my visit, and that was disappointing. However, the staff were polite and accommodating, making my experience pleasant overall.
