9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,016 reviews)

It's a beautiful, serene property with all the amenities one might want. The architecture is sleek and modern but pays homage to the original resort built in the '30s. The restaurant and bar are top notch. The food is exceptional. Most importantly, the staff are about as nice as they come and seemed to sense my needs in advance. Even when I checked out the valet recognized me while I was walking to the front desk and pulled my car up front without me even handing him the ticket. That was par for the whole stay. Kudos to your tea.
