Reviews and Ratings
We had a fantastic stay at Shangri-La Resort. The pool area was a major highlight, perfect for relaxing and the kids had a blast with the water features. The restaurant served delicious food, although we wished for a few more options on the menu. Although there were a few issues with noise from above and the room view wasn't great, the overall experience was enjoyable and the staff went above and beyond to assist us.
Shangri-La Resort offers a well-rounded experience with a beautiful pool area that caters to families and adults alike, along with a golf course that many guests enjoyed. However, while the dining options are good, some meals could use improvement, and noise from other guests can detract from the overall comfort.
I had a fantastic time at Shangri-La Resort! The pool area is perfect for families, and the rooms, while comfortable, could use better views. The dining options were enjoyable, especially at Doc's. Overall, it's a great place, but there are minor areas for improvement, particularly regarding room noise.
Staying at the Shangri-La Resort was a delightful experience overall. The stunning pool area and variety of activities made our time there enjoyable. Although we faced a few hiccups like noise from construction and initial booking troubles, the beautiful location by Grand Lake offset these issues. Dining options were generally good, especially at Doc's, but could benefit from more dessert variety.
Our stay at the Shangri-La Resort was quite enjoyable, thanks to the beautiful pool area and a wide range of activities available. The dining experience could use some improvements, especially with dessert options, but the overall amenities and atmosphere made it a great getaway. A few noisy neighbors and some initial booking hurdles were minor setbacks.
