This is our second visit to Dr. Wilkinson's, and it was just as fantastic as the first time. It has become an annual destination for our family, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay. Just go—you won't be disappointed! I give them a 10 out of 10!

Comfortable stay at a fun property

The room was very comfortable, although the heat/ac unit became quite warm and noisy when it kicked on and off. (should have turned if off completely even though it was 45 degrees at night). The room was quiet and the property was a fun place to stay.

Great spa hotel. Stayed for one night for wine tasting and hot springs. Location is excellent with a market across the street with restaurants nearby and on property. Access to 3 mineral springs pools (85, 95 and 105 degrees) was included with hotel room. Paid extra for a mud bath spa experience which was pricey but great to do at least once. Glad we planned this the day after wine tasting as the mud bath is very hot. Other than the mineral springs, the highlight was the staff who went above and beyond for any need or request. Tip: bring bug spray if dining in their restaurant as seating is outdoors.

Nice pools! Dead bugs in the room. Room was noisy. Lots of jumping around upstairs and could hear people talking though the crack under the door.
