We attended the New Year’s Eve Black Tie party at The Inn at Spanish Bay and had a marvelous experience overall.
The valet service was excellent; they assisted us with our car and even charged our Tesla during our stay. While waiting for our room, we dined at Roy’s. Despite the busyness, the service was attentive, and we enjoyed exploring the grounds until our room was ready.
The evening’s festivities were exceptional. The hotel was beautifully showcased with gorgeous floral arrangements and holiday decor. The food was fantastic, and the evening service was nearly flawless. It was one of the best black-tie events we’ve attended in terms of food quality and attentiveness, and we plan to return with friends next year.
After midnight, a delightful breakfast was served, and the open bar remained well-stocked, including an abundance of caviar. The event also featured a casino night, and we received party favors for the countdown.
However, there were a few minor issues. Upon arrival, we were given an option of a balcony or patio and we requested a balcony room but were assigned a room facing the parking lot without an outside seating area.
Additionally, on New Year’s Day morning, I went to order a latte and overnight oats around 11 a.m. The café was understaffed even with employees hustling and working diligently, leading to a 25-minute wait, which was challenging, especially for families standing in line with impatient children.
At around 9 a.m., housekeeping knocked on our door and woke us up, apparently under the impression that we had checked out. This was unexpected, particularly after a late night of celebrations.
Despite these minor inconveniences, the hotel provided a fantastic experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be looking forward to returning.
