We had planned to stay at the Essex for 3 nights, with massages and dinners fully booked. However, a “once or twice in a decade” winter storm cut our stay short after just one night. The staff was so friendly and thoughtful during a weather emergency while juggling displaced guests, multiple on-site events, and forced restaurant closures due to unprecedented cold temps. I can’t thank the team there enough for staying grounded and providing excellent hospitality in an unavoidable bad situation. Not only did they provide world class guest service, they also refunded our bookings. We are already re-booking our trip and, as first time visitors, now plan to come back a few times a year as a regular vacation spot. In our short time there, we tried Junction (amazing) and took advantage of all the spa amenities (perfect). Our room was spotless and cozy and the entire resort has a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back again and again.

Amazing Evening as always. The Junction never disappoints! Our server Leticia was incredibly attentive to our needs while giving us privacy we required for our anniversary dinner.
