I absolutely loved my stay at Griffin Gate! The team was exceptional, ensuring that everything went smoothly for our event and stay. The pool and cabanas were fantastic, perfect for relaxation after a busy day. The dining options were exquisite, with a wide variety that didn't disappoint. However, it can get quite busy during events, so it’s good to plan ahead regarding reservations. Overall, it’s a luxurious experience that I would recommend to anyone in the area.

The location was nice, being close to attractions, but the dining options weren’t as great considering the price. Overall, it didn't feel like a luxury experience.

The hotel has great amenities like an on-site restaurant, outdoor pool, and numerous activities to keep guests entertained. The food was delicious, especially the ribeye and delicious appetizers, and the staff in the restaurant were particularly attentive and helpful. However, there were several issues, such as weak sink water pressure and inconsistent air conditioning, which need improvement. Overall, it was a good stay, but some aspects could be better managed.

The resort is situated in a picturesque area, making it a great choice for relaxation and events like weddings. The staff provided outstanding service, which was a highlight of my stay. However, there were minor issues with the facilities that detracted from what could have been a perfect experience. Additionally, while the dining options were commendable, the lack of free Wi-Fi was a bit inconvenient.
