We stayed 2 nights in mid-August and will not return. The room was nothing special at $209 for the posted rate, but by the time we paid the resort fees, hotel occupancy taxes, and valet parking, the daily rate was a whopping $270.
Issues with our room included: Sliding patio door wouldn't open or close all the way, or lock; left-over coffee filter still in the coffee pot; coffee filters were for WHOLE pot instead of 1 cup; nothing to stir the coffee with on either night; light bulb burned out in the vanity area; one robe in the closet instead of 2. Took 20 minutes for the front desk to answer the phone to request a wake-up call.
Prices too high: Paid $9 for a glass of white zinfindel at the pool, served in a plastic cup. Paid $14 for the same glass of wine in Tio's Lounge bar in a glass with stem. Ordered chips and salsa that was $8.50 and a beer. Chips came after 20 minutes but no drink for another 40 minutes, then when she finally returned, I was charged $5.50 for a Miller Lite that was hot. Paid $150 for dinner for 2 at the Grille next to the golf course -- steaks were wonderfully tender, but not worth $45 each! Everything was ala carte and not worth the price.
Positive things about the hotel included: Valet service, bellhop service, room linens and bed quality were superb! The chocolate demonstration performed by Norma Jean in Tio's Lounge at 5:30 was very nice. She even brought us chocolate-covered strawberries the next afternoon -- yum! Breakfast buffet had a wide variety and the quality was good for the money, $16 PP.
Husband and 4 friends played golf both days (Palmer course) and talked about the huge hills and how difficult it was to play / walk when you hit your ball into the rough -- couldn't see it even if you dropped it right in front of you. He lost about 10 balls! Due to recent rain, they were required to stay on the cart path the first day which was arduous to say the least, but the second day they were allowed to do the 90-degree rule, which saved them lots of walking.
