This is the kind of property seasoned colleagues quietly warn you about—yet, against your better judgment, you assume *they* must have exaggerated. They didn’t. It’s bad. Very bad.
At first glance, the resort makes an impressive entrance: a pleasant drive up, manicured grounds, and a stylishly appointed lobby that suggests you’re in for a genuine four-star experience. Unfortunately, that illusion evaporates almost immediately.
The first real blow comes at check-in, where the resort casually presents a $1,300 deposit and additional resort fees for a five-day stay—charges that appear nowhere on their website or on Expedia at the time of booking. This lack of transparency isn’t just disappointing; it’s infuriating, and frankly, unacceptable for a property that positions itself as “premium 5 star.”
Logistics only worsen the experience. Parking is a long, inconvenient walk from the main building, and both self-parking and valet come with eye-watering price tags. Add to that the resort’s significant distance from the city, and you’re essentially funneled into dining on-site. Unfortunately, the frustration continues there: meals are astonishingly overpriced for food that is, at best, forgettably mediocre.
Back in the rooms—already average for the over priced rate—the staff constant door slamming of the utility rooms kept us up all night, there’s also, no microwave, meaning any overpriced leftovers you bring back are effectively useless.
