“We love it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012

We hesitate to recommend this hotel for fear you will fall in love with it as much as we do. We have nothing but the highest praise for everything they do from check in to food to knowing our names to the pool. It is simply the best we have ever stayed in all over the world.

Room Tip: There are no bad rooms at all.

“Highly Recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2012

My wife and I spent a belated Valentine's Day weekend here and it couldn't have been better. From the lounge, to the award-winning restaurant (T Cooks), to the rooms, everything/everyone was amazing!

“Charming and Romantic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2012

My husband and I have been several times to dinner at TCook's but only stayed over for the first time recently (the rooms are always booked!). The food at the restaurant is fantastic. We LOVE coming to this hotel for the charming ambience, beautiful architecture and gardens. I am always excited when we pull up the palm lined drive to such a relaxing little oasis. The staff are very friendly, efficient and accommodating. We stayed in a spa suite which was lovely and quiet- even though it was next to Camelback road. The room was great- a bit dark as it was long and narrow but very well laid out. You enter the "living room" which had a daybed & minibar then walk through the bathroom to reach the bedroom. Bathroom has pocket doors you can close on both the bedroom and living room side. Bedroom opened to a public courtyard with fountains and a fireplace and there was a fireplace in the bedroom. The bathroom worked even though it was so open- I especially liked the soaking tub but did not like only 1 sink. The ceilings were very low and normally this really bothers me at hotels, but somehow with the furnishings, fireplace and light fixtures it felt cozy and romantic- not cramped.
