Our stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The ambience was lovely, especially with the festive decorations that added charm to the experience. The dining options were excellent, particularly the Italian restaurant, and we were thoroughly impressed with the attentive staff. However, we faced some challenges with breakfast service that could use improvement, and we'd like to see better management of pool booking times.

My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the cleanliness and overall ambiance were fantastic, making it a lovely place to relax. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our needs were met promptly. However, the dining experience was disappointing, especially with the dinner package we had booked, which didn't live up to our expectations. The location is convenient, but if you're not golfing, it might feel a bit isolated.

The Fairmont St. Andrews is set in a lovely location, but it doesn't fully capitalize on its picturesque surroundings. While the rooms are spacious and clean, I found the service and dining options somewhat lacking. The breakfast was okay but lacked variety, and the spa facilities could use improvement. Overall, it's a decent hotel, but not necessarily worth the price tag given the experience I had.

The location is beautiful, but the hotel doesn't make the most of the stunning views. The restaurant faces an interior atrium, which is a letdown.
Dining

The dining options were underwhelming; breakfast was marginal and felt more like a buffet line than a pleasant experience. I expected more for the price.

The spa facilities were disappointing with cleanliness issues, particularly in the showers and steam room. The pool area had potential but was underutilized.

I had a pretty good experience at the hotel overall, with excellent cleanliness and a lovely spa. The concierge staff stood out for their attentiveness, making our stay more enjoyable. However, dinner service left a lot to be desired, especially at the Italian restaurant; the quality of food didn't match the prices. Additionally, the long wait times for check-in and at the restaurant were frustrating.

We had a fantastic stay at the Fairmont St Andrews! The brunch was a highlight, with an amazing selection of quality food. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. However, the experience at the Italian restaurant was less than ideal, as the service was not as attentive as expected, and the food was underwhelming given the price. Overall, it was a great value for the experience we had, especially with the beautiful views and family-friendly amenities.
