We were quite disappointed with our experience at Alluvial. Our daughter has allergies, and although the service staff was kind and provided the information we needed, the timing of the meals was not ideal. We ordered standard menu items, including our daughter’s meal, and at that point there were only three other groups in the restaurant, with two more arriving after us. However, all of their meals were served before ours. It took around 40 minutes for my wife’s and my meals to arrive, and an additional 10 minutes for our daughter’s. In total, there were just six groups dining. We also overheard another guest expressing concerns about delays with their room service. For a five-star hotel, we had hoped for a smoother dining experience

Pool was cool.

The staff welcoming the room was comfortable. But it had a strong unpleasant odour in the room. The swimming pool was a on the cool side. When we told the staff about the odour there was no reaction no offer of a different room.

Sorry but not worth the money i paid. Checkin to the room delayed and nothing for it at all, considering i have 2 kids, something little would have been nice for waiting (not just tea and coffee). Pool so run down, cold and damp. Not 5 stars in my opinion, also to add rooms run down and bathroom had hair in it. So sad j paid $445 for a terrible experience.
