Manitou Springs Resort

We had a very delightful server in the dining room, her name was Natasha.

Everything

Beds & pillows were satisfactory. Bathroom had no fan, so while showering bathroom steamed up terribly. Also while showering the tub filled with water & took about 15 minutes to drain. Restaurant was very expensive & the meals were hit & miss. I’m assuming different cooks. Very disappointing. As far as the Mineral pools go, I will not be back. Pool smelled like chemical, tile was falling off from around the pool. And it looked like mold in behind. Concrete was chipping off on the bottom of the pool. There was rust on hand rails & drains. Also green algae on retaining walls. No maintenance seen at the pool for our 3 day stay. The ladies changing & shower area smelled like sewer. Not very pleasant while trying to clean off. All in all, I truly believe the owners don’t care. It’s dirty run down & in need of desperate repair. Until it’s done I will NOT BE BACK, nor will I recommend anyone else to waste their money there.

Always enjoy the pool and the gift shop

We ate at the Water’s Edge Restaurant. The food was delicious and reasonably good value. It appears that there is not enough staff because the service was slow, but very friendly. The hotel is very good for a community of this size. The real draw is the saltwater pool with water drawn from Little Manitou Lake.

The spa experience is interesting

We had a lovely stay for 2 nights. The room was clean and spacious. We received great service from the cleaning staff. Always friendly. Restocked our coffee and toilet supplies as needed. The beds are so very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent as always.

Manitou Springs Resort provided us with a lovely stay. Our corner view room was comfortable and gave us close up views of the lake. The mineral pools were both soothing and fun (ie buoyancy). I had the 1/2 day spa treatment. It was perfect and I highly recommend the spa. The dinning room menu is old fashion and the recipes not to my taste but apparently the locals like this kind of food. The staff throughout the facilities (and at Mike’s Beach Bar) were friendly and helpful. Lucky for the community that they have access to the migrant worker program or these services would likely disappear (ie apparently there are not enough locals to fill the job openings. In my opinion, if the locals befriend these workers they may want to stay).

The waitstaff was great. The waitresses really did everything they could to make sure you were happy. I wasn’t as happy with my massage at the spa as the deep tissue rub was not deep at all. The masseuse’s fingernails were too long, making some of the work done somewhat painful. The pool was fun to bob around in. Otherwise, the facilities were average.

I was greeted promptly at the entrance and seated. Brought water immediately and I ordered a coffee which also arrived promptly. Anastasia was a very competent and knowledgeable server who worked with a smile! I had the half Greek salad but had to return it to the kitchen as they forgot to add the cucumbers, green peppers and black olives! It was no problem and was delivered quickly with an apology. Taste and presentation were top notch although the piece of garlic bread was very limp( but tasty nonetheless!) I highly recommend this establishment as the menu is quite varied and the price is right.
