This property is absolutely beautiful, be sure to take the time to enjoy the history of it and enjoy all of the amenities. The service here was amazing. We were so thankful to receive a room upgrade to an ocean view. The room was incredible. We enjoyed taking advantage of a class at the fitness center. All of the outdoor areas were stunning,many dining options and many close by as well. We never had trouble finding a chair at the pool, an attendant brings you a chair towel and a beach towel. The poolside service with a pitcher of Sangria is a must! There’s a lot happening here for entertainment. We had a great time and cannot wait to come back!

Would be an overall excellent rating if it wasn’t for a very mishandled situation at check in. I wish there were separate ratings for the areas of staff; front desk/reception was very poor, all other staff were excellent.

Our check-in and check-out experience was very efficient. The location of our room in a building behind the gym provided the tinyest glimpse of a pool -- so it was underwhelming for a "pool villa.". However, it ended up to be convenient, and the room itself was nice. The poolside staff were extraordinary in both their lounge chair set-up for us and an iced coffee that wasn't really on the menu. Breakfast staff was wonderful as well. It was a great experience, and we will be back.

Wonderful hotel would definitely come back!

Hotel is wonderful. Had Thanksgiving dinner in the Meat Market. Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. We ordered turkey because it was our Thanksgiving dinner. Drinks and bread came our fairly quickly. However, then they must have forgotten us. After almost an hour I had to ask where our dinner was? They did Apologized and gave us two complimentary glasses of wine. A satisfactory gester and we looked forward to our Thanksgiving dinner. The vegetables and gravy were wonderful as was the bread. The turkey, our main reason for dining there, was dry and salty. Worse turkey we've ever had! Became they were so apologetic it was now late and I didn't have the heart to send it back. It is primarily a steak house and we saw a few beautiful steaks. Just don"t order turkey.

The property does not really match the Fairmont brand, it needs a few improvements. I also did not like the fact that they sell day passes to people who do not stay in the hotel. The club in the lobby that allowed tons of 21 years old in - did not like that at all

We booked 2 rooms and were extremely excited until we arrived. Not only was the check in process painfully slow, they stated they had an issue with one of the rooms we reserved and placed us in another room the first night; we had to switch over on day two. The second room had substantial water damage that hadn’t been repaired. Breakfast was great! Probably one of the best things of our stay and everything was close by.

We were lucky to have been upgrades to a very nice (huge) villa, at no extra charge. Rooms were clean for the most part. Location on the beach was AMAZING!!! And they had huge lawn chairs and umbrellas available right on the water. Perfect beach front to enjoy the ocean! Food and drinks are very spendy. But there are good, fair priced meal options within walking distance. Beautiful resort overall!
