I had mixed feelings about my stay here. The room views of the lake and mountains were truly stunning, and the overall ambiance was lovely. However, there were some significant issues such as the air conditioning turning off at night and some cleanliness concerns that detracted from the experience.

My room had a beautiful view, but unfortunately, the air conditioning system was problematic as it turned off when temperatures dropped, leaving the room stuffy at night. Additionally, the furniture was soiled and the carpet was not clean.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. While the stunning views and lovely outdoor spaces were truly enjoyable, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially given the prices. The service was helpful overall, but there were noticeable areas for improvement. Still, the nice atmosphere and family-friendly activities made some parts of my visit memorable.

I had an enjoyable stay at the resort, with beautiful outdoor areas and engaging activities for my kids. The dining experience was fantastic with a great variety of delicious meals, which made our visit even more special. However, I did experience some inconsistencies with service during my stay and faced issues with my room reservation that could have been handled better. Overall, I appreciate the wonderful family-friendly atmosphere and lovely spaces offered at the resort.

My stay at the Estes Park Resort had some beautiful lake views, which made for a nice atmosphere. However, the service left much to be desired, particularly regarding health and safety practices. The rooms could use some serious updates considering the price point. While the outdoor spaces were lovely, the overall experience didn't meet my expectations for such a high-end resort.

Rooms
5.0
The room we received was painfully overpriced at $359.00 + tax, and the state of the room felt more like a motel than a resort. It had a faulty lock and a safe that didn't lock, which was concerning. It was nice to have a TV, microwave, and mini fridge, but overall, it just felt like the room needed a complete remodel.
Service
5.0
Unfortunately, the service didn't meet my standards. I encountered staff who were not following safety protocols regarding mask-wearing, which completely undermined my confidence in their practices. The management seemed indifferent to these issues and cited employee training as a reason for the lack of enforcement.
Location

The resort is perfectly situated just outside Rocky Mountain National Park, providing great access to stunning nature. It's right by the lake, which was really beautiful, and there are plenty of activities around.
Dining

While I did have a pleasant breakfast experience with a nice waiter, the pancakes were a major letdown, which bummed me out considering this is supposed to be a high-end resort. They need to focus on improving the quality of the food served.

The outdoor spaces with fire pits and trails were enjoyable, creating a relaxing environment; however, the interior facilities felt outdated and in need of care. There is potential here with some renovations.

The campground provided a pleasant atmosphere with lovely outdoor spaces and a fantastic pancake breakfast. However, the road noise from the nearby highway was considerable and the close proximity of tent sites made for a less peaceful experience. For those seeking tranquility, this may not be the best option.

The tent sites, while nice in terms of amenities, are quite cramped and subject to noise from the highway.
