The Essex Resort & Spa

We’ve stayed at The Essex numerous times. Each visit has been exceptional. It’s a great location, the rooms are nice, the whole resort and spa is terrific. And, the staff makes it such a nice experience. Alan’s front desk and lobby staff work as a team. Everyone is friendly, helpful, caring, professional and genuinely nice. Shout out to front desk Ben, TJ, Lisa, Alex, Gracie, Bo, Olivia, Dylan, Jack, and bellman Jack. Also, Jessica and Robert in the Spa! Each of them has contributed to our stays and we always appreciate them. How nice to have a staff that consistently nails it!

Carolina was an amazing server! She was so friendly and helpful!! She was very knowledgeable with the menu! I loved hearing all her favorites! Thank you for making our experience so wonderful! We will definitely be back! No hope we are lucky enough to have you again!!

I’m a Flight Attendant and I love all my stays at this resort. I always look forward to the different dessert treats in the showcase at check-in. The tavern restaurant is also a treat- to meet up with crew for a glass of wine or a meal. I enjoy waking the property grounds and feeding peanuts to the goats. The pools and spa is an extra nice bonus. The staff at the front desk has always been friendly and helpful. I do miss the large buffets, however, with the ice sculptures and carving stations and dessert table with chocolate fountain. I would love to see this come back for the holidays especially.

Our stay at the Essex was fantastic. Special shout out to the front desk staff of Olivia, TJ and Ben, waitstaff of Renata, Brianna and Terrie, chefs Brian and Diego. Special shout out to Nina, whom I assume is the restaurant manager for helping me find my gift card number. The spa staff was very friendly and helpful but I didn’t catch their names. Although I didn’t meet them, the place was spotless so kudos to your housekeeping staff!

My sister and I booked our annual Sister Getaway for our birthday celebration here, our first time staying at The Essex Resort & Spa. From booking to checkout, this was one of the best stays we've had! Ms. Lisa Harrison helped us with booking the appropriate room to accommodate our desire to include a cooking class at the onsite Cook Academy. Lisa kindly answered multiple email questions we had before making our decision and was nice enough to take time out of her day to meet us when we checked in. She made us feel like friends she'd know for ages, even tho this was the first time meeting! TJ checked us in and also made us feel like friends. He was cheerful, kind and very helpful with suggestions of what to do during our stay. Our room was perfectly clean and well stocked, the beds were so comfortable and we got great night's sleep both nights of our stay. The cooking class with Chef Donna was so much fun and we ended up being the only 2 people taking the class that night. The food was out of this world! We also appreciate that we were given sweet Birthday treats in our room, very kind of Lisa and TJ! Every staff member we spoke with in the hotel and restaurant were happy, kind and welcoming. Food was GREAT! Grounds were beautiful We truly did feel like friends and are very thankful to Lisa, TJ and everyone we came in contact with. Thank you for making our Sister trip a huge success. This was our first experience at The Essex Resort, but it won't be our last!
