Grand Geneva Resort is lovely, and an easy 90-minute drive from my home. I wanted a quick summer getaway and chose a 2-night package.
Although I'm very familiar with the Lake Geneva area, it's still surprising when you arrive - it's probably 1/2 mile off the main expressway. You're thinking to yourself "I just got robbed - it CAN'T be here..." and then you get there, and your concerns fall away.
It's elegant. Quiet. The whole resort is pretty. The room is beautiful - I took pictures! The bedding is high quality, the paint colors soothing, even the artwork is appealing. How often do you say THAT about a hotel??
The restaurants are very good, although very expensive. I had made online reservations for the lobby restaurant, which had a buffet the night we arrived. The food was excellent, and our server offered to cook my husband's prime rib more to his liking, which delighted him.
We attempted to rent a little motor boat, but there were mechanical problems. The manager offered us the boat for free the next day, after the repair. Unfortunately we never made it back down to the boat dock. No matter - there was enough entertainment without it.
Sunday morning was spent sitting out on the beautiful lawn reading the Sunday paper and watching the golfers. Perfect. I would return in a heartbeat. It's a bit pricey for my budget-minded self, but a nice splurge near home.
