I had a wonderful stay at Ringle Resort, nestled on a hill with stunning views of San Jose. The grounds were beautifully maintained, filled with lush tropical flowers and trees, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. My room was comfortable and clean, featuring nice furnishings and a spacious layout, but I did have a slight hiccup with the restaurant service that left me feeling unwelcome at one point.
