Wonderful experience. We had a vista suite and it was lovely. Great food and service for breakfast and dinner at the Amaya restaurant. Service through out was outstanding. Could not have enjoyed our four day stay more.

Disappointing experience for our anniversary

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

Connector31842295321 TripAdvisor review

I stayed at the Fairmont on December 6th for our anniversary, and unfortunately the experience fell far short of the standards one would expect from a property of this caliber. From the beginning, the level of attentiveness from the staff was noticeably lacking. Basic amenities such as conditioner and body wash were not provided in the room, requiring multiple requests to the front desk. We also asked the valet service to charge our Tesla multiple times, a request they confirmed they could accommodate, yet the vehicle was never charged. The issues continued at their restaurant ,Amaya. Despite the dining room being nearly 90 % empty, I waited approximately 20 minutes to be seated. The hostess appeared overwhelmed and was frequently away from the stand, leaving several couples waiting. Once seated, service was inconsistent and disorganized; every waiter who approached us was different, and several of our requests were either delayed or mishandled. This seems to be consistent with other reviewers who had to flag down waiters 3+ times for something simple like coffee. To make matters worse, there was an error in our bill, and we were charged for items we did not order. Overall, the stay was frustrating and disappointing, especially given the occasion. A hotel of this reputation should provide a seamless and thoughtful guest experience, but this visit was marked by repeated service failures that detracted from what should have been a memorable and enjoyable celebration. I hope management takes these issues seriously so future guests do not encounter the same difficulties.

The most magical stay thanks to specific staff members. Dylan at Front Desk received us with a warm smile and readiness to help, he truly went above and beyond, a gem at the property. Special mentions to Andrea at Amaya, Carlos at Amaya is a star, Bessim also at Amaya and Miguel and Robert at Amaya made our night! Jeff and Chris at the lobby lounge went out of their way to make us feel at home. The decorations are stunning, the best the hotel has ever been. Go to have the best holiday Season!
