text: We wanted to go on a family getaway with our kids years old and months I always remembered how the doctors wife my work would tell me they always stayed the Four Seasons with their young children because they really catered to families My requirements included that the hotel was smoke free casino free and kid friendlynnWe drove out early in the morning so that my son would sleep on the way and arrived before am check in is usually or so I called in and asked if we could check in early and it was not a problem They just had a room that needed to be cleaned so when we arrived to pass the time we ate their hotel restaurant the Verandah and they texted us when the room was ready nnAt the front desk one of the employees noticed my son and wheeled a Radio Flyer wagon full of stuffed animals for him to pick He chose a stuffed little Pug That was so sweet and so cute nnAt the restaurant the hostess gushed over my son and gave him crayons and a coloring book DH worried about him eating such a nice restaurant but they were completely kid friendly and they even cut up his breakfast chicken sausage and an angle so that it was beautifully presented nnWhen we finally got to our room I already knew this ahead of time the bathroom was stocked with LOccitane products my ABSOLUTE favorite products from France One of my favorite indulgences in life is staying and hotels and the best parts are seriously the toiletries I will book a hotel based on thatnnMy family also spent a lot of time the pool private and the attendants would lay out your towels and set you up with a carafe of water and they offer free sunscreen SPF and tons of magazines which I noticed my teenage daughter reading They also serve up some yummy drinks smoothies and resort type food and limited offering from the Verandah menu nnI especially enjoyed how they turn your room over once more in the early evening something you do not get home Before we arrived I requested a small fridge for my son who drinks a half gallon of whole milk a day and I also requested a crib for the evening The crib arrived with a package of organic baby products a couple of diapers a stuffed animal that looks like classic Eyore from Winnie the Pooh and a diaper genie trashcan Seriously so amazing how they treat families with young children nnMy DH loves to workout and he actually left his running shoes home but the gym lent him a very nice pair of NIkesnnThe hotel is beautiful on the outside the rooms are classic but definitely not as nice or new as other hotels I have stayed the strip but the hospitality is so amazing that it makes this stay unforgettable The entrance is very separate from the Mandalay Bay so the hotel also stays quiet and privatennSince this hotel is connected to the Mandalay Bay we got to go the Shark Reef exhibit and had tram access to get to other parts of the strip Charlie Palmer an awesome steakhouse is also located this hotel P A Whole Foods market and wonderful playground is a little over mile away from this hotel Good for families with young children to know thisnnThe clientele is mostly older couples retirees and families with young children and they are dog friendly
