Wow. I rarely write reviews, but this experience was perfect. I owe a gracious Thank You to the chief concierge Lauren Forbes for orchestrating an incredible stay with all the bells and whistles.

The Spa Pass was incredibly rejuvenating and just strolling through the hotel is a delightful vacation from the ordinary.

Staff was all wonderful.
Breakfast was delicious.
Even the handheld loufah sponge was impressive.

I cherish the experience.
Worth the splurge.

I stayed here for my bridal photoshoot/pre-wedding celebration, and everything and everyone was excellent! The signature suite was perfection, the food and drink at Hamilton's Kitchen were topnotch (highly recommend the lamb for dinner and the crab omelette for breakfast). Everyone was super friendly and helpful! It definitely is a great start to my wedding week and honestly my best hotel stay so far in my travels here and abroad.

I really want to thank the special people of the hotel who made my stay so wonderful (in order of who I met first or talked to in the phone) : Rico, Kevin, Cinthia, Jose, David, Khalil, Eduardo, Gabrielle, Roland, Christine, Olivia and TJ. (TJ in particular I believe deserves a raise/promotion because he was only supposed to help bring my luggage and gowns down to the lobby from my room upon checkout but on our way out the room I mentioned that the deep tub wasn't draining despite the drain being open. He then adjusted something on the tub and voila it started draining! And at the valet parking, he offered to help reposition my car towards the direct exit of the driveway when he sensed I was hesitant to drive out the narrow parking myself.)

Overall, such a unique and warm place! And the location is stunning for bridal and wedding photos! Sharing a few here for reference (photos by Shaya Oliver, hair and makeup by Kay Alvarez).

I recently visited The Alfond Inn in Winter Park while a friend was staying there, and I was truly impressed by how beautiful the property is. The atmosphere, design, and overall vibe were stunning—exactly what you’d expect from a luxury hotel in such a charming area.

The only thing that gave me pause was an interaction I briefly overheard, where one employee (with long hair and glasses) seemed to be berating another staff member. It was surprising to witness, especially in such an otherwise welcoming environment.

That said, I still plan to book a stay myself soon. I loved everything about the place and trust that moment was an exception rather than the norm.
