Fabulous resort!  We checked in and were promptly offered a complimentary margarita!  Registration service was top notch - Sichi was fantastic!  She answered all of our questions and made us feel very welcomed.  \n\nOur room was beautiful - complete with the typical amenities (safe, small refrigerator, free wifi, etc.).  Our room also had 2 comfy robes.\n\nThe resort grounds are absolutely gorgeous with plenty of pools and dining options to choose from.  We spent a little time at the family pool - but mostly enjoyed the cabana service at the adult pool.  The only negative comment I would have about the pool amenities is that the hot tub is actually located in the family pool area and was always filled with kids when we tried to access it (I thought kids weren't supposed to use hot tubs?).   \n\nThe cabanas were well equipped with a small couch, 2 chairs, end table, coffee table, mini refrigerator, ceiling fan, and a cable TV.  Rental is $250/day and also includes a fruit platter, guacamole, salsa & chips platter (all were served delightfully cold, fresh, and tasty!) and unlimited bottled water).  The first day, our server was fantastic.  The second day, our server was rarely to be found and we left the day a bit disappointed.  Not to worry though, we expressed our concerns to Sichi who quickly took care of matters to our satisfaction.\n\nEvery day we had breakfast at the SWB. If you have the option to get the breakfast package with your room - do it!  Well worth the additional $15/day.  The breakfast package includes any entree on the menu, along with a juice and coffee.  As an alternative, you are also offered the breakfast buffet - which has scrambled eggs / whites, roasted potatoes, bacon/sausage, eggs Benedict (delicious!), bagels w/ typical toppings, fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, pastries, and also a made-to-order omelet station).  \n\nWe also dined at the SWB for lunch.  The Mediterranean salad and the prime rib sandwich were fantastic.  The Meyer Natural Angus Burger was delicious as well.  Both were served with Parmesan truffle french fries.\n\nFor dinner, we dined at Alto ristorante e bar, where all of their pastas are homemade daily.  I had the pasta di campanelle granchio (crabmeat w/ basil cream sauce) and my husband had the pasta di parpadelle e salsiccia speziata italiano (pasta w/ spicy sausage).  Both dishes were fabulous.  You could tell the pasta was homemade - it was light and not heavy at all.  Highly recommend those two dishes.\n\nThe hotel also offers live entertainment - I believe it is every day.  In addition, throughout the day, they have several activities planned for both children and adults.  \n\nLastly, dinner at Alto will score you a free ticket for their Gondolier ride (otherwise $10/person).  The ticket does not have to be used the same night. During the 15-20 minute ride, you are serenaded by a trained opera singer.  We were serenaded a song by Andrea Bocelli and one by Frank Sinatra (at our request)!  :)\n\nWould highly recommend Gainey Ranch and can't wait to return!\n\nUPDATE:  Loved our last experience so much that we just booked a return visit and will be back there at the end of September to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  Looking forward to relaxing and celebrating at Gainey Ranch!
