I stayed here for a girls' weekend. This is a huge hotel that does a strong conference business. When you're not paying on your own dime, it might be more enjoyable, but as a leisure traveler I found it unremarkable. The pool adjacent to the hotel was too small given the number of rooms at the hotel, and the landscaping in the pool area was nothing special. Finding beach chairs was a challenge; my friend had to get there before 9 am to get chairs. Moreover, the pool bar was understaffed, so food and drink service was slow. It would have been nice if they had made it an adults-only pool. I am truly perplexed why they did not build a bigger pool given the size of the hotel, and that every guest does not want to make the shuttle trek to the water park. I would strongly recommend that they build a larger, Vegas-style pool--that would kick up the resort a notch. The double queen room was nicely decorated but struck me as small. Staffing: in general it seems like the hotel is trying to save money by not hiring enough staff to deal with the volume of crowds--it took my friend an hour to get a cappuccino due to the long line and only one staff member. A positive note was the steakhouse--the food was excellent. The prices were in line with other high-end steakhouses. The other restaurants are nothing to write home about, and there were long waits to be seated. (Tip: the charming downtown of Grapevine, TX is nearby with lots of restaurant options, including the local favorite, the Main Street Bakery, where I had delicious crepes.) The Iron Cactus nightclub was enjoyable, but not so amazing that I would book the hotel just because it's on the property. The atrium and decorations were typical of a theme park, and once you've seen them, you've seen them. The indoor planting was nice. Parking garage is too far from the hotel, and we arrived in a pouring rainstorm with only a partial covered walkway to the hotel. I find the prices high for the overall average quality of the experience. I think next time for the same price I will stay at the Westin Stonebriar for a more serene resort-quality experience with less crowds. If the Gaylord would upgrade the hotel pool to something Vegas quality, and add more dining options so it isn't a headache to get seated, it might make it worth it to return.
