Family-focused reviews and ratings
After traveling from Atlanta to spend 6 nights here with our puppy, it was perfect. The staff was friendly, the room was amazing, and the activities were plentiful. A few minor issues, but overall, a wonderful experience.
Gorgeous hotel! Our suite was spacious with a great view. Texting for service was a convenient touch. The restaurant service needs improvement but the location is fine, close to Carmel.
Family fun, but some areas need attention. The resort is great for kids, with lots to do, but the restaurant service and some maintenance issues detract from the experience. The room was nice, though.
This place is amazing! From the fine views to the very nice culinary offerings, everything was great. The activities and amenities are fantastic, perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The staff was warm and cute, ensuring a personalized experience.
My wife and I had a wonderful time! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay extra special. The room was cozy and the outdoor tub was a luxurious touch. We'll definitely be back!
