Lovely retreat in a beautiful setting!
Pros:

The staff all across the board were brilliant. Front desk, housekeeping, restaurants, guided hikes — all great! The facilities were clean and well appointed. Near Snow Canyon State Park with its uncrowded, beautiful hikes. The pool is heated, and with that and sunshine, we enjoyed a swim break on our non-hiking day even though it was 61° out. Overall, a great vacation spot!

Cons:

They’re still building out, and there is some construction. It wasn’t in our way, so it didn’t bother us, but be aware. Also, they are still working on signage. Definitely grab a map. :)

Tutto ok, ottimo
Pros:

La colazione non era inclusa e chiedevano 40$ a testa per il breakfast... Mi sembra una cifra davvero esagerata

Cons:

Nonostante l'hotel fosse nuovo e ben poco occupato non hanno previsto un upgrade gratuito (che sarebbe stato un semplice "buon gesto")

AMAZING!!!
Pros:

My husband and I went to the spa and got a couples stone massage, and it was absolutely amazing. Starting from the wonderful, pleasant Alayna, who booked our appts. She was the most pleasant, sweet and wonderful spa host. Her calm, sweet aura is what every spa should have welcoming the guests. She was in no hurry when I was taking forever to decide on a necklace I wanted, and they had already closed. The therapists were very pleasant and just an amazing experience all around. We will definitely be back soon!

Great golf Poor resort
Pros:

Enjoyed everything about the golf experience on course but for the very expensive price for a play and stay you would expect far better service at the resort

Outside services for bag drop and cart was very poor. No help with unloading bags and couldn’t give clear directions to the driving range, which was a challenge

Staff clearly need training. Valet no help in unloading and loading car. Front desk looking at phones instead of helping customers. Ask to split a bill 50/50 in restaurant and it came back $90 and $130, even the manager couldn’t fix it. This goes on and on.

Golf course great except 5.5 hour rounds. Do not recommend staying here. Need to increase level of service professionalism throughout the resort.

Lacking good staff
Pros:

The dining service is awful. The food is just ok, but the service is lacking. Untrained and terribly slow. Would not recommend unless you don’t mind long wait times and uninterested staff.

Excellent, but not perfect
Pros:

Recently opened resort hotel. Everything was neat, clean, smartly decorated, nicely landscaped, and with breathtaking mountain views in most directions. The room was large and luxurious.

A couple of small issues about which I would expect more from a five-star luxury resort. 1) Signage, particularly in the garage was poor. Took a day to get the lay of the land (including finding out that I parked my car far from the building in which my room was located and having to waste time moving the car to a closer spot). 2) They provide bottled water for each guest each day. On one of the days, housekeeping forgot to stock our room with the bottled water. I went to the front desk and the representative told me they would take care of it. We went out for the day and came back after dinner and still, no water. I had to take another hike to the front desk where, this time, the representative apologized on behalf of the resort and promptly brought me our waters.
I repeat, these are small issues but other 5-star resorts to which I have been do not err like this. I am hoping they fix these small issues as I would like to return for another visit.

Stunning Resort/Needs Some Fixes
Pros:

This resort is a special place. The location is stunning. We are golfers but even if we weren't, the surrounding areas and hiking are incredible. Black Desert resort will continue to grow and get better. I'm looking forward to it but aspects of the design of the room we stayed in left us scratching our heads.

Golf here is incredible. Turf is amazing, greens were in great condition and the practice facilities are exceptional. Our biggest gripe was that so many holes were cart path only. Our cart gave us a message on every single hole that it was cart path only. We started ignoring it but it kind of put a damper on the round and added half an hour.

We stayed in a Deluxe King Suite. It was very nice but had a lot of design mistakes. I don't understand how this luxury resort hired such bad designers.

- Bathroom was really beautiful with lots of counter space and oversized towels. No shelf at all in the shower to put items brought yourself. Had to put them on the floor.

- The bedroom had only one USB-C port in the headboard. Nothing else. Not even an AC plug that you could use. That was a real miss. If you didn't have a USB-C cable, you were out of luck.
- Pillows on the bed were hard and neither one of us liked them at all.
- No light fixtures in the kitchen. This was so annoying in the evenings. We had an island counter with barstools, but no lighting over the bar. It's as if they forgot to put in the lighting. They could have used pendants over the kitchen island.
- No lamps in living room.
- Keurig coffeemaker never made a hot cup of coffee.
- Design of window treatments in family room was a major miss. Instead of a set of sheers that you can pull and then a set of blackout drapes over them (as most nice hotels do) there were enormous expanses of remote controlled fabric blinds. (I attached a photo) Very, very ugly and not very functional - either you had to have total blackout or total light. All or nothing. Not a good design.

We are definitely going back, though and all the staff were great.

Breathtaking views a must stay
Pros:

Beautiful resort with so many wonderful amenities. The front desk, valet service, housekeeping were top notch. Great customer service delivered every day. Everyone has been trained on how to interact with their customers to deliver first class service. It was easy to do because the people have manners and are just good people. Our room had a sub zero fridge, remote control to operate TV, shades, lighting, temperature settings. Great restaurants and unbelievable golf course, and fabulous pool with cabanas, tv, mini fridge and hot tub. The list goes on!

Pros:

We stayed in several hotels while traveling around St. George/Zion on a trip and this was by far our favorite resort. The view from our room was incredible and everything at the hotel felt brand new. We had a great time relaxing at the pool with food/drink service. A bit surprised this resort did not have a higher rating but it appears some of the older reviews are from when the main hotel building was under construction. Highly recommend

Such a sweet server who made the experience so fun! I loved her banter and her recommendations for the rosé and the bread pudding! Definitely would love to have her as a server again!
