When were you last at SS? I have a (single, male) friend who would like to go there as a new place, different from Lake Como and Cypress Cove. But I've also heard from another friend who went there with his wife 2 to 3 years ago and took their tour. When he asked about him coming back someday without his wife, he was somewhat politely advised that it might not be such a good idea. They told him "You probably wouldn't like it here with your wife." Makes me wonder if single males are welcome? Your take?
