After passing the guard shack you feel like you're almost on a movie set. The long driveway is worth the wait.
Wanting a weekend getaway we found the Biltmore while searching the internet. My boyfriend and I wanted something charming, quiet, out of the way but yet close enough to everything. Well we got it. I read the reviews and was a little skeptical but after setting foot in the front entrance all my fears diappeared. We were greeted at the door and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
You want romance? Then take a walk around the yards and take in the scenery or yester years. How beautiful and romantic everything was from the Christmas tree displays and decorations throughout the hotel to the lovely old fashioned rocking chairs on the veranda's.
I would deinately recommend this hotel to friends and family if they're looking for something reasonably priced yet high style.

The only problem we had was the water pressure in our room. Took forever to wash/rince my hair (as it's long).
Also the roof was in desparate need of repair. What an eyesoar when you pull up to the front of the hotel.

This place if VERY far from any sort of club. We stayed here for a wedding which made everything very convenient, but overall the experience was disappointing. Belleview Biltmore is very old and historic, which is fine if you are into that type of thing. The rooms are big, however they aren't the cleanest and the furnishings are very 'warn' in. We had to change rooms because they couldn't get the lock to work on the room we were in.

Another piece of advice...don't order room service unless you want to wait 45+ minutes to have the food arrive cold.

I went there with my family over the spring break and it was absoultely gorgeous. Everything was completely classic, like out of an old time movie that Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn would stay at. The ballrooms were overwhelming and the ice cream parlour was convienent for late night cravings! The hot tub was great for meeting new people during the evenings. The grounds were great, palm trees everywhere. Very nice indeed!

I just recently returned from spending the Thanksgiving Holiday at the Belleview Biltmore. I was joined by a group of friends from Europe. We found the hotel to be special treasure. It is full of charm from an era gone by. If you need the sterile amenities of "new" property, then this is not the place for you. But if you are the type of traveler that enjoys sitting on the veranda or taking in an old world spa . . . this is the place for you. The Thanksgiving Buffet was scrumpcious and the next night we greatly enjoyed the Friday night seafood buffet, which was very reasonable and seems to also be a local favorite. Don't miss having cocktails at Sunset at the Cabana Bar . . . soooooooo tranquil after a walk on the beach. I am thankful I go to spend a Thanksgiving there. I hope the grand old hotel survives the move to tear it down and put up yet another concrete box.
