First class resort on the stunning Emerald Coast

I can't say enough good things about the resort at Rancho Santana. The staff were great, the location is great, very nice facility, good food at the restaurant, nice spa, comfortable bed, quiet room. They need to address a couple small details with the room, the air conditioning was just barely sufficient, yet I noticed it was working great in the bathroom downstairs. Also, the lighting is concentrated exclusively on one side of the room, they need at least one lamp on the dresser on the other side of the room, and perhaps a floor standing lamp on that side too. Not important to me, but there is no TV in the room. I would absolutely stay here again.
