The hotel is a nice but limited resort primarily for golf and spa. There's a set of pools which can occupy the kids but I would have liked a few more other simple activities whether it be a putt-putt course, volleyball, jogging/fitness trail or other simple amentities. Maybe they were there and I didn't find them. Not thrilled by the resort fee. I know lots of places add that separately from the room but I'd prefer that be part of the room fee and for that alone I knock this rating down a spot since it gives such a negative flavor of abusing guests. Please the internet access in the room was good. Heard wireless wasn't available in the public areas without an extra fee. Feels rather rude to guests. I wouldn't do that to guests in my home or office. Chair in my room had a bum leg. Iron and ironing board included but what outlet should the iron be plugged in? Had to use the outlet from the bathroom. Quite a stretch. Service was good. Liked the staff having ribbons that made them very identifyable.

The hotel is beautiful but the extra taxes and fees takes away from the hotel being rated a 5. Outside of the taxes and fees that you pay when you book your hotel stay, Gaylord resort charges an addtional 15.90/ night which includes internet usage whether you use it or not, exercise room usage, and the two water bottles that is in your refrigerator. Also you have to pay $16 for parking which is a little walk away or $28/ day if you choose valet. Also the shops inside the resort close early (11pm)
