Beautiful property, glad we stayed but when you spend the kind of money that it takes to stay at a property like this you expect perfection and we didn’t get that. And sadly, it was just the little things. We had to call and request water, there was only one coffee cup and one coffee pod in our room for morning coffee, etc. However, the staff was amazing and attentive, the food was fantastic and the grounds couldn’t have been more beautiful. You know going into a Fairmont property that everything is going to be wildly overpriced but usually it’s not the thing you walk away from the experience thinking about. I guess better luck next time.

Outside of your room - EVERYTHING costs additional money (kids club, water at the pool, tennis courts needed to be rented)- so I understand that that some of these items should be additional but it’s a bit cheap to do that - there was also not enough activities for kids (I have a 10 year old boy) and they could do better to have more activities

A lot was wrong with this stay. Particularly bad was housekeeping which was obvious when we found used kleenex in the drawers day one. We were always short towels and products and the “cleaning” was minimal. We paid for 3 rooms with fire pits and rarely could get them lit. We also waited an unreasonable amount of time for room service. Almost everyone was friendly except the concierge. The spa was good and staff at Amaya was super but the whole place was understaffed for the holidays and couldn’t pivot around bad weather, a private golf outing that required secret services and bomb checks for all vehicles. The pool was a garbage dump with no staff. I would not recommend this for the price. Over promising and way under delivering!
