The hotel is a lovely place to visit, especially for a drink on their beautiful patio overlooking the water.

I had high expectations for my stay, given the price and reputation, but it fell short in several areas. The views from the balcony were lovely, but the room showed signs of neglect, and the service wasn't as attentive as hoped. While the restaurant staff were nice, the overall experience lacked the luxury feel I anticipated. I wouldn't say it's worth the cost, especially with the issues I encountered during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is stunning with beautiful water views, the service really fell short during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which was a plus, but I was quite taken aback by the lack of acknowledgment for our special occasion. Overall, the hotel has potential, but the service definitely needs improvement to match what one would expect from a resort spa.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort, enjoying great service and beautiful views while dining at their outdoor areas and using the pool.

My stay at Gurney's was quite disappointing, especially considering the high expectations I had. The hotel feels worn out, with significant wear and tear evident in the rooms and common areas.
