Loved watching the activities....the appointments of the common rooms were very lovely in both hotels. Property, even though under construction in places, was well maintained.

Our king bed was very uncomfortable, very soft so you felt you were in a hole Apparently there was a power failure which resulted in a generator also failing in the restaurant hotel Yellow Pony located in.The staff did their best to overcome the difficulities presented. My meal was very overpriced at the Yellow Pony(only 6 shrimp that were med-lg size over grits and some okra),but smoked salmon bagel at the grab and go in the other hotel was a bargain and delish for breakfast.

The room was a nice size and clean. Nothing was a miss. The shower was large and had ample space with a rainfall shower head. Lobby was impressive. They had multiple restaurants that we didn't get to try but looked good. They had lots of options.

Golf carts parking everywhere making it hard to get spot in the back of the hotel

Rooms were large, the rain shower (great water pressure!) was wonderful! Beds were nice and plush, convenient to the equestrian hotel for wonderful dinner at Stirrups Steak house, the patisserie is a must for amazing baked goods!

Disappointed that king rooms don’t have balconies

Rooms are very nice and spacious! Very clean, and amazing sitting areas. Staff were super polite and facilities felt very safe!

Food was a little expensive and restaurant hours during events aren’t open late enough if your event runs over.

The hotel is comfortable with spacious public areas. It is clean and new.

When we entered the hotel, it didn't have a pleasant odor. The employee who checked us in had a very superior, condescending attitude. I found it very off-putting.

I loved everything about this hotel and the environment around it! The facial at the spa was the best I’ve ever had.

Really, nothing. I have no complaints.
