My husband proposed to me at dinner here so it is extra charming to me. It was in the middle of a snowstorm and it felt like we were in a snow globe! The outdoor heated sidewalks from the spa to the amazing deep hot tub is the bomb!  The dinner at the dining room requires reservations but expert cocktails in the library ahead, and it is so fancy & delicious that it’s certainly worth the planning and wait! Cannot wait to go again! Stay in the castle!!!

I really wanted to love the Castle Hill Spa because it is local to me and there are seemingly many things to love - the location, atmosphere, and the treatments. My treatments were excellent and done by professionals, which is why I'm keeping it at 3 stars. I was excited to have the gift of a day of pampering at the spa and really looked forward to it! However, I was very disappointed because there are some major flaws with this spa and I hope my review can help!

I've been to a few different spas and every time there is a regard for privacy as people walk around in robes. Oftentimes there is a men's area, a women's area, and then communal spaces clearly marked for any spa guests but no access for non-spa guests (such as guests of the resort). This is not the case here, so BE WARNED! Anyone and everyone can go into any space other than the bathroom/locker rooms (which don't have changing rooms, so I had to change in the bathroom stall, by the way).

Additionally, they have you change into a very thin robe and walk out into the public lobby area barefoot to go upstairs where the waiting area for spa treatments is. This wasn't a huge deal in theory, EXCEPT every time I had to pass through the lobby, there were at least 3 - 5 random men and women employees standing around chit-chatting. I literally had to walk through a group in my thin robe with nothing under it at one point... and I had to say excuse me, to get them to move! It was quite appalling and is the reason I will never go back here and would not recommend to a friend.

Then, once my treatments were done, I knew I had access to the facilities (outdoor heated pool and hot tub) so I asked at the front desk and they said go ahead out, there's only one family. No longer did I get out there when many people started showing up - people who were not in a bathing suit, but were instead part of a wedding party for that night. Those who were swimming let their children hog the hot tub - literally never got out for the 45 minutes I was in a lounge chair waiting. Meanwhile all their friends and family gathered around the pool just hanging out like they owned the place! No employee ever came out to check on things. This should not be allowed! If you aren't a spa guest, there should be enforced rules about loitering in spa areas!

Everything outside of when I was in the treatment rooms, felt uncomfortable and confusing at this spa. The staff really need some training and the facilities need better signage and privacy standards.

So this review is not based on stay at the resort rather than a review on customer service. I had booked 2 rooms for a wedding that I was attending and unfortunately due to the hurricane Milton I wasn’t able to make it. I live in Tampa bay and lost a lot during the storm. And once I was able to contact the resort about my situation the nice lady said that they would reach out to management about a refund or at least partially refund. So when I reached out a few days later because I haven’t received word either way. I spoke to the general manager Andy and again laid out my situation about being impacted by hurricane Milton his response “well you could have reached out sooner we all saw it coming(hurricane Milton)we cannot refund you’re 2 rooms because we were unable to fill those rooms on a holiday weekend”. So clearly Andy either is god knows exactly how hurricanes will make landfall and at what category they will hit at or he’s just someone whose never faced a storm that maybe take away everything they have ever worked for away in the blink of an eye. And one thing that sir Andy doesn’t know is that I have family in Vermont that was affected by the devastating floods and when I brought that up he said well we saw that coming too. So clearly if anyone has a catastrophic event heading your way I’m sure Andy knows about it. I have a lot of family in Vermont and I always visit the area and one thing for sure I will stay at a roadside motel before I give another penny to a business that stands behind a employee like Andy. I’m sorry to the resort and the rest of the staff that this review will impact. But my treatment and Andy’s response to my situation is disappointing and eye opening.

STAFF
I want to start by pointing out that the staff at the hotel were above and beyond PHENOMENAL, and
I mean ALL THE STAFF.
I spent the weekend up there and got stuck with some car problems in a blizzard and dealt with
everybody on the staff there. They were some of the nicest people I have ever dealt with in the hospitality industry.
When I say all the staff, I mean all the staff!
DAY 1. The plow guy helped me get my car out of a spot when my snow chain broke and I couldn’t
move.
DAY 2 The maintenance guy got me down to the front desk when my car broke down, then the
manager got me a new room right away and gave me a ride to where I needed to go.
DAY 3 The other manager called her brother-in-law to come tow and fix my car when the other
shops in town were full on a Monday morning. The other front desk staff were great at letting me
stay in my room until the car was finished. The cleaning crew who are the hardest working people in the industry were checking to see if my car was ok and if I needed anything.
ROOM,
I stayed in a two-bedroom condo that had a fireplace, full kitchen, huge living room and everything was spotless. The place was beautiful and fit 8 people. The only thing I would say is that if there is a big blizzard coming make sure you’re prepared with chains or snow tires if you are at the top of the
hill because it could be a little challenging to get there.
