Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection

Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the room -- amazing views and comfortable bed. The AC ran a bit hot and cold, but otherwise great. This is picky, but the pool cushions and the cushions on the lobby wicker chairs felt thin. Go with a firmer filler when you decide to replace them. At the pool, I would recommend waitstaff circulate and take drink orders from the lounges. We probably would have ordered some but we were not going to walk over to the bar. On another decor note, the monkeys on the wall coverings brought me joy!"
