“Lover's retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We stayed at the Pinehurst resort for the very first time last weekend 11-12 February 2012. From the time we pulled up to the main entrance we felt like we had entered a world of Status and Class. We knew that the resort was a magnificent place, but to see it first hand gave us a feeling that was larger than life. The bellhop's were outstanding. They really made you feel welcomed and safe. The front desk was most courteous and helpful. They looked you in your eyes and made you blieve that you were special. They had our roomkeys ready to check in, in less than 5 minutes. The bellhop's took our luggage straight to our room. My wife tipped the bellhop's too. She was very impressed with their professionalism.
Our room was very exquisite, and most inviting to us. I found myself laying on the bed as soon as I put down my room key. My wife and I napped for two hours in total comfort. The bed was so comfortable. The linen had a smell of springtime fresh. And the pillows where so relaxing and comfortable too.
We watched the television and got ready for lunch. We decided to eat at The Holly Inn Tavern. The food and service were terrific. We had the Bison burger, " Oh so good". My wife had never had Bison before, so it was a real plesure for both of us. The waitress was so knowledgeable and very courteous to us. She was very busy, but never let our glass go empty. We left the Holly Inn and walked over to the shops and toured the village. All the sells staff were very kind and most helpful. However evertything was not on sell. But it was of the best quality money can buy. We are bringing our son back to shop, its his kind of place.
We went back to our room and relaxed, and enjoyed the company of each other, while laying in the bed. We went down to the banquet room for our event and had a wonderful dinner and danced the night away.
We retired to our room and slept liked baby's in our very comfortable bed. We awoke sunday morning around 730; got dressed and went down to the Carolina dining room for breakfast buffet. I can only say, we can't wait to come back in two weeks to eat again. Everything was delicious, and so fresh and hot. I ate everything and im on cholesterol medicine , but it was so good i didn't care!
We had another hour with our group and then we checked out. The front desk had us checking out around noon, but we asked for an extension and where granted to stay until 1 pm. We left by 1145. We can only say, Thank you for a magnificent weekend. We are booking reservations in the near future for another weekend get away. Thank you

“Class and Comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile

Pinehurst is a wonderful location for a conference. When you arrive, it is like you are taken back in time as - when men were gentlemen and chivalry still existed. All the staff at Pinehurst treat you like you are a guest in their home. These people are humble, honest, and hard-working. I have stayed all over the world from the Excelsior in Rome to the Mandarin in Hong Kong and have never had such service with sincerity. The accomodations are superior! Very clean and up-to-date! The food is out of this world! You must try the biscuits and gravey at breakfast and the Pinehurst Sundae at dinner for dessert! In addition, the spa is relaxing and a treat after 4o'clock tea in the lobby! I have stayed here three times and always had an excellent experience!

“Wonderful Conference Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

I recently visited Pinehurst and stayed at The Holly. It was amazing. The room was charming and quaint. The staff was absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond to make my party feel welcome. The service was quick and easy. We had breakfast and dinner at The Carolina dining room and the food and service were impeccable. I will definitely be returning.

“Every day is good at Pinehurst!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

True Southern hospitality at a resort that reflects the very spirit and mystique of the game of golf. Its a great place to hold a meeting or get together even if you are not there for golf, and you can always count on the facilities, service, and food to be fantastic. The grounds are well maintained and of course the golf courses speak for themselves. Master course designer Donald Ross would still be proud of this place. If you stay take the time to walk the halls and look at the pictures! Finally, I would not want to fail to mention the folks who work there. They are friendly and genuine in all they do to look after you as their guest. They are why I took the time to write this.

Room Tip: Ask the desk folks they can give advice like a good caddy!

“Peaceful Pinehurst”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

My family spent the weekend at The Carolina-Pinehurst Resort this past weekend. My son was participating a two day golf tournament. We had a wonderful time. The staff was gracious and helpful. We had an issue with a barking service dog, so we were moved to a wonderful suite. This is the place for golf, what beautiful courses, even in January! I took advantage of the spa and had the Signature Massage...heaven. The breakfast buffet is delicous and the piano player added a nice touch. We are planning a return trip in March.
