The views at this hotel are amazing. Although the hotel is large it is very unassuming and quite lovely. It was a bit chilly on our staff but perfect to enjoy the outdoor fire pit! I can't wait to return to stay much longer.
Pros: The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and well designed. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and not at all stuffy. We really enjoyed the bagpipes at sunset!

Beautiful facility with just a...
Pros: Food was excellent: decadent and delicious. Room is beautiful and bed was very comfortable. The path on the property made for an incredible morning walk.
Cons: Gardeners started doing loud work outside our room at 9 am when we were hoping to sleep in. They didn't stop until 15 minutes before checkout. We alerted staff about this but the gardeners were not stopped. For the kind of money paid to stay here, we would've hoped for something to be done.
Also, we stayed in a room with a fire pit just outside our door. There were mice darting in and out where the gas line is. This didn't stop us from using it, though!

Superb
Pros: We had an Ocean Front room on the 18th Fairway that was beautiful. The Fireplace on the deck was great as we spent hours enjoying the view and sunset. A very special place.
Cons: The rates are very high. IT is a beautiful resort and clearly they are getting the rates they charge, but we could not afford more than 1 night at over $1,000 for that night.

All you need to do...
Pros: The Sunday Brunch is opulent. You would have a hard time dreaming up anything that was not on the menu. Simply fabulous! A treat that can only be appreciated when your diet is completely abandoned and an extra 6000 calories can be squeezed in...Sumptuous and great service...

Beautiful, just bring your wallet.
Pros: The beautiful property and the hotel and all of the available amenities in the property. We golfed the ocean course which was very nice. We did not use the pool, and tennis courts, but there were all close by.
Cons: The fact that we were first given a room with two queen beds when in fact we requested a king sized bed. Also, I did not appreciate paying almost $7 for a greet yogurt I could have bought at the grocery store for $1.50. We chose to eat outside the property because of that. Although the hotel itself is BEAUTIFUL and the cleanliness of the rooms were outstanding, it was a little over the top expensive.

This a Wonderful Property!
Pros: Really enjoyed the lobby area with its restaurants and bars. The spa is a pleasant diversion. The outside areas with fire pits and view are amazing. Love the very friendly staff.
Cons: Our room which was an ocean view needed some updating. And there was no honor bar. For $700 per night (inclusive of taxes and resort fees), I thought the room would have been a little bigger and more up to date.

Fantastic location food and service
Pros: Location number one and exceptional staff number two.
Cons: Wait time for lunch was too long. This resulted because web site did not state Hotel guests may reserve a table.
Recommendation - reserve a table.
