Now for the details:
My husband and I stayed here for six days to celebrate my birthday and enjoy a bit of relaxation before I started law school. From the moment we arrived, the service exceeded our expectations. Valet staff promptly took care of our car and bags, and check-in took just a couple of minutes. The front desk team was incredibly helpful in answering our many questions about the hotel and its amenities.
We stayed in the Grand Room King with a pool view on the 11th floor. The room was not only spacious and beautifully maintained, but also wonderfully quiet throughout our stay. It truly felt like a serene escape.
What really stood out was the staff, everyone from management to valet, housekeeping, restaurant servers, bartenders, spa attendants, and pool staff made us feel welcome and appreciated. Every interaction was positive and genuine.
We spent time at every restaurant and bar on the property and loved each one. Every space had its own unique vibe and thoughtful design. Goldie's was a favorite of mine. Kevin, Ernan, Randi, and Jasmine went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. The drinks were phenomenal, and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun.
At the pool, we had a cabana (though we spent more time swimming than lounging), and again, the service was top-tier. A special shout-out to Fedor, Justin, and Makayla for their attentive and friendly service.
Dining at The Peacock and La Piscina was another highlight. The Peacock, in particular, had some really creative dishes and beautiful decor, I often found myself admiring the attention to detail between bites. Tyler provided excellent service and had great recommendations.
The hotel does get lively on weekends, especially in the bars and restaurants, but it never felt disruptive. Access to guest-only areas like the rooms and pool is well-managed, so our stay remained peaceful even when the public spaces were buzzing with activity.
Overall, our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday and decompress before diving into the rigors of law school. Thank you Anis and Giulio for helping make it so memorable!
