    That said, at roughly $1,400 per night, we expected a much higher level of luxury. The overall experience felt closer to a nice Hyatt or Hilton than what we anticipated from a Ritz-Carlton. Dining options on the property were also limited. Our meal was good, but it was the most expensive and least memorable meal of our trip, so we chose to eat elsewhere for the remainder of our stay. We enjoyed our visit, but the experience didn’t justify the price.

    Went for our honeymoon. Had a fantastic time. I ordered a charcuterie board to our room. After we arrived we went to our room dropped off our bags and walked around the property with some drinks. When we came back to the room there was chocolate covered strawberries, the charcuterie board and a bottle of champagne. The champagne and strawberries were on the house. It may be a small thing, but it was very special.

    Awesome hotel just very expensive

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The only thing that could have been better was getting into our room a little earlier. The staff was so busing checking people in with really long line. They should have more check in staff

    Simply great experience! Golf views were amazing and atmosphere was magical.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Everything was great at the hotel, the service, the management, and everything else. However, food in terms of vegetarian choices and options, or the taste was something that left us wishing for more.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The property is amazing as well as the staff. We have a 6 month old and things couldn't have gone better. The rooms are not silent would be the only thing. You can hear door's as well as people in the hallway.

    Staff were friendly. The place is clean and the view is to die for. Excellent hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    All as promised. Location is picturesque. Facilities are grand. Services outstanding. Too bad I’m not a golfer. No in house evening entertainment offered is the only fault I can find.

    I didn’t get the view that I signed up for.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great location and wonderful views!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The hospitality wasn’t up to the mark. We didn’t get proper instructions about the location of our rooms and struggled to find staff members to provide guidance. My elderly parents had to walk a mile due to the ill management.

    The bathroom flooded & 2 of the charging outlets were broken

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Impeccable stay, staff very nice and professional at all levels. Had massage and facial and it was perfect . Very clean and comfy. Love the touch fr Mother’s Day to leave a box of fresh Macarons in my room. Enjoyed indoor Olympic pool and they have a good list of complimentary classes . Expensive but worth it ! All good

    Wonderful stay. Everything - from the room to the amenities to the food to the golfing to the scenery to the staff - was amazing. My boyfriend also got a wonderful dessert each day of our stay for his birthday. Highly recommend! We will be back soon.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The property and rooms were beautiful. The room service menu was very limited especially because all the dining options were luxury. There didn't feel like there was a casual restaurant or coffee shop on site unless I missed it. I also would have expected someone to help us with our lugguge upon arrival-a true bell hop-but the arrival was just OK. It would be great if they offered a golf cart for guests who are down in the rooms by the tennis courts. Otherwise, stunning property.
