Here's a refined version of your review: --- The location is exceptional and the pool renovation was impressive. We paid over $1,000 for a suite for the evening, where the check-in, valet, and bell services were all exemplary. However, the service left much to be desired. For Mother's Day, we rented a cabana at over $1,000, which did not include any food or beverages. It took our server 45 minutes to greet us, and our initial food and drink orders did not arrive until 90 minutes after we were seated. Our server checked in infrequently, about once every 45 minutes to an hour, compelling us to often fetch our own drinks at the pool bar or rely on pool staff to take our orders on their phones. It was evident our waitress was overwhelmed, managing all the cabanas and chairs in our area by herself—a clear oversight in management’s staffing. Dining at the Asian fusion restaurant that evening proved mediocre. The food was average, and the service was lackluster. We ordered a kid's steak plate along with our main courses, but the child's meal arrived 25 minutes after the other entrees and was undercooked and tough. We chose to simply ask for the bill and leave. Despite its potential and renowned name, we found this property overpriced and underwhelming in service quality. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

We stayed at the Privado section of the property. (Family of 4) Since it is a huge property, golf carts are recommended if you want to go to the other side where the other pools are (water slides). Beautiful scenery, grounds are kept clean and staff are attentive. Will stay again!

Highly recommend
I was impressed by the level of service and how beautiful the hotel was. I will definitely be returning. The staff went above and beyond during one of the busiest times. The only criticism is that the manager at the restaurant (can’t recall the name) was a bit rude when he asked us to leave due to a private party. He could have been more polite. Other than that one incident, every person who worked there was lovely!

We loved our stay at the fairmont! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! The lobby dogs were a highlight. The rooms were cozy and luxurious. The food at la Hacienda and Toro was superb. The only thing that would make the experience even better would be a shuttle to take you to local places (shopping and dining) my husband had work nearby and had to uber only 1.5 miles away. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay!

Beautiful landscaping, excellent staff with superior quality service. Great for families with young children or people who love to play golf. I choose this place because of location and the spa. Unfortunately I was with my 16year old daughter who was not allowed to use the spa, so that was disappointing. No spa for us. We thought we were going to get massages and facials, but the fine print on the spa is no teens allowed! She was also not allowed to use the gym. Not a resort that is friendly to teenagers.
