Wows and Woes
The resort is structurally beautiful and has stunning landscaping, and the rooms are very spacious. However, the resort is located far away from everything and the restaurants on-site are quite expensive.
Insider Tips
There is a hidden fee that each guest is charged for every day that they stay at the resort; they call it a "resort fee."
Author's Most Memorable Moment
I was sweating buckets when I first arrived at the Biltmore, so I decided to cool off in the pool and relax in one of the poolside cabanas. It seemed like a good idea until the resort staff said that if I wanted to hang out in a cabana I would have to pay a couple hundred dollars to rent it.
Bottom Line
If you are willing to pay extra for a relaxing family retreat away from it all, then you will enjoy the Biltmore Resort with its rented cabanas and poolside service.
