Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

My wife and I stayed in the spa portion of the resort. Absolutely incredible. From the moment when you walk in, the spa aroma is incredible. Steam room, sauna, whirlpool, and champagne. The best part, was the sound bath!! Tanya who led, was amazing. I didn’t know what a sound bath was, and I won’t tell you because you need to experience it for yourself. Just trust me, do the sound bath class with Tanya over a spa treatment. Thank me later!!

Arielle Durden was absolutely outstanding. From the moment she stepped in, she brought a level of professionalism, warmth, and effortless competence that made the entire experience better. She anticipates needs before you even voice them, communicates clearly, and carries herself with the kind of confidence that instantly puts people at ease.

All was nice. Had to attend a convention but the resort fees are too much, too often. Super nice place. I asked for a sweet tea at the bar but was told the bar was not open until 2pm. Cost of items in the room too expensive.

I visited Chateau Elan for a much needed respite and self-care week. I did invite my mom, so it wasn’t quite solo. I loved the grounds, the amenities for those staying in the Inn, the shuttle service to the different properties, and the yummy food. The SPA was divine. We got massages and mani/pedis. The winery tour was informative. The muscadine wine is really delicious. My only complaint is the room attendants. They didn’t automatically clean/refresh our room daily. I had to ask them each day. The reception person kept telling me not to leave my do not disturb sign up. I continued to assure her I didn’t. If the room attendants provided daily service, my review would have been all 5s! The next time I go, I will request that.

We visited for our anniversary, and the experience was very disappointing! Upon arrival to our room, we realized that the room was very outdated. We then had to request wine glasses be delivered to the room (you’d assume a WINERY resort would have wine glasses in every room)… no big deal. Then we wanted to take a shower as it had been a long day, only to realize we had no wash rags or tissue stocked.. that took about 45min to get delivered to our room. The room was extremely warm and uncomfortable (even with the A/C on).. very poor ventilation. We paid nearly $600 for ONE night! So yes, our expectations were much higher than what we got.. Then we inquired about a couples massage at the Spa… $500 for a 50min massage! All in All I would recommend a hilton garden inn before this. Maybe we just had a poor experience, but it was our experience.
