Any issues I had were dealt with by the staff in a professional manner and efficiently. After being here in the heat perhaps they have guest park downstairs to avoid putting their cars in the sun and it's also gated down there. Either way knowing ahead of time you're paying for parking to park remote from your room will be less shocking when you see the size of the resort. The golf carts come very quickly. I also want to say that checking out was also easy. Anyway overall a good stay.

Overall, I would give the resort a 7 out of 10…read more The grounds were absolutely beautiful, and with the exception of one restaurant, the service throughout the resort was outstanding. Dining: TAQUERIA CENTRO -- 10 out of 10. The food and service were both exceptional. Manager Carlos did an outstanding job and was a true highlight of our stay. Prado -- 4 out of 10. We visited Prado twice during our stay. Our first visit was for breakfast -- the food was okay but noticeably overpriced for what was offered. Our second visit was a far worse experience. We were seated and waited 15 minutes without our server ever acknowledging us, so we got up and left. The service at this restaurant was consistently poor and the pricing did not reflect the quality or experience provided. Dining Options -- Room for Improvement. For a resort of this size and reputation, the dining options felt limited. We would strongly recommend adding at least one additional restaurant to give guests more variety. The snack and coffee shop, which could help fill that gap, closed far too early in the evening. Extending those hours would go a long way in improving the overall guest experience, particularly for those who want a light bite or a cup of coffee later in the day. The Room -- 6 out of 10. The room itself was nice, but there were several issues that fell well below the standard I would expect from a resort of this caliber. The bed was old and noticeably worn down, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. To make matters worse, the comforter on the bed was torn and had visible holes in it -- something that should never make it into a guest room. We also struggled with the room temperature throughout the night and were unable to get it to cool down comfortably. A Bright Spot at Checkout: I spoke with Avery Williams, Director of Front Office, at checkout and she was genuinely outstanding. She was sincerely concerned about the issues we experienced and did everything she could to address them. She even followed up with an email after our departure, which was a very nice touch. Overall, I left feeling somewhat disappointed given the reputation of this resort. With a few improvements -- additional dining options, extended snack shop hours, updated room bedding and linens, and better temperature control -- along with a serious look at the service standards at Prado, this could easily be a 9 or 10 out of 10 experience.

The…read morerestaurant is elegant, beautifully designed, and the grounds create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Our server, Paul, was outstanding. He was attentive without ever being intrusive, made excellent recommendations throughout the evening, and genuinely cared about making my husband's birthday celebration special. His professionalism and warmth made the evening unforgettable. We began with the Escargot à la Bourguignonne, followed by Osetra caviar with blini, an indulgent start that was absolutely worth it. Laura, the sommelier, was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us select two wonderful bottles of champagne that paired perfectly with the caviar and the rest of our dinner. My husband also enjoyed a couple of their Old Fashioneds, which were expertly prepared and among the best he's had. For our entrées, I chose the Japanese Miyazaki Wagyu, while my husband had the 20 oz bone in ribeye with a grilled lobster tail. Our guests enjoyed the filet and the New York strip. Every cut of meat was cooked to perfection and the quality was exceptional. The crème corn mascarpone was rich and delicious, and the Haricot Vert Amandine complemented the meal beautifully. My only disappointment had nothing to do with the food or service. I made our reservation well in advance and specifically requested one of the comfortable booths for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, that request was not honored by the manager, Jacob. Since we enjoy ordering several appetizers and spending a few hours enjoying the experience, having a booth would have made the evening much more comfortable. They gave us a very uncomfortable booth. Even with that one setback, the overall experience was outstanding. The cuisine, cocktails, wine service, and hospitality were all first class.

On one occasion, I parked in a residential neighborhood a few minutes away by foot for free. The other time, I parked in the adjacent parking garage and the bar validated my ticket. You can also valet, though I'm not about that life. The hotel itself is spectacular. This is definitely an upscale hotel with elegance. Beautiful decor and design. Clean. It's an elevated experience. It's a see and be seen type of spot. Which is not typically my vibe but I'll dabble here and there. Service has also been quite good across the board during both of my experiences. The lobby bar, while not unusual for a hotel, is a nice one. It takes up a good part of the lobby and there are open areas, seating by the bar, and comfortable couches and sofas all-around. Here's my issue with The Global Ambassador...man, it's pricey. A gin and tonic, mind you not a complicated cocktail, though they do use good liquor, was going for $19. That's the same amount you pay for a complex, sophisticated cocktail at a speakeasy. I understand that they're probably trying to attract a certain clientele, but there is a level of gouging going on that is noticeable. Nice place, not so nice prices.
