The good:
The scenery from the hotel and the surrounding area is really quite beautiful.
The hotel grounds are spotless and very pretty. The service is first rate, from the valet parking, nightly turn down service, and Beverly's.
The wine cellar is very impressive, and The sommelier was very gracious, knowledgeable, and helpful.
The golf course is a top ten world of golf experience. The course fairways are the best I've ever played on, and although the greens had been recently top dressed, they played fast and true. To many little details to mention. If you love golf, you will love this course.
Dinner at Beverly's was just fine, thank you. See separate review in restaurants section of trip advisor.
The room design (lake view king suite) is excellent, with huge picture windows overlooking the marina and the lake. Nice seating area a step down from the bed area, and a small outdoor balcony.
The bad:
OMG, why do they think the whole world wants to hear the bar singer with the guitar play the same tired songs from the floating stage night after night.
Every night we were driven into our rooms by the racket. Not that the guy was all that bad, mind you, but if I want lounge music, I'll go to a lounge. I don't need to be reminded of the upcoming "booze cruise" every ten minutes either. Completely ruined a peaceful evening on our balcony. Seriously. What are they thinking????
The hotel property and adjacent shops are a bit tired. Looks like they were designed in the eighties, and not much upgrading since then. Kind of a flashback feeling. armchairs in the living rom area were pretty much worn out.
Overall, a pretty decent experience. A little overpriced, but you are paying for the lake views.would I come back? Likely no. Been there, done that, and the world is full of places I need to see.
Plus, that lounge singer is the straw that breaks this camels back. Seriously........what in the WORLD are they thinking??.?
