I’ll be honest with you when I travel, I don’t usually expect to be blown away. Most resorts promise the world online, and then you walk in and it’s fine. Comfortable, neat, maybe photogenic. But that’s about it.
So believe me when I tell you that A Night at The Spruce Resort turned out to be something else entirely. It wasn’t just about the fancy rooms or the food. It was the feeling, the way the whole place wrapped around you like a warm blanket and made you forget the chaos outside.
The Arrival
The first few minutes set the tone. You roll into this quiet property, and the air itself seems lighter. Someone greets you with a smile that’s not the stiff “welcome, sir” type but more of a “hey, glad you made it.” Little things like that are what stick.
The lobby smelled faintly like pine mixed with fresh flowers. Not sure if that was planned, but it worked. That first inhale already told my brain, relax you’re in the right place.
The Room
If I had to describe the room in one word: effortless. It wasn’t overloaded with décor that screams “look how fancy I am.” Instead, it was simple but sharp. A bed that actually supported my back (not always a given), sheets that felt cool when I first slid in, and big windows that opened up to a view worth pausing for.
I dropped my bags, kicked off my shoes, and without even realizing it ended up sitting by the window for half an hour just watching the sky change colors. That right there beat any Netflix show I could’ve turned on.
The Food
Let’s talk food, because no “luxury escape” is complete without it. Dinner had me grinning like a fool. Fresh bread that cracked in just the right way when you tore into it, mains that felt both comforting and refined, and desserts you don’t just eat you remember.
Breakfast was just as good. They served fresh fruit that actually tasted like fruit (not the bland, half green stuff you usually get at hotels). Pair that with strong coffee and a view that makes your mornings slower…and suddenly, you realize you’re not in a rush anymore.
Beyond the Room: The Experiences
You can spend A Night at The Spruce Resort doing absolutely nothing and still feel like you’ve achieved everything. But if you’re the type who likes to stay active, there are options.
-
The Spa: You walk in tense. You walk out a puddle. Enough said.
-
The Pool: Infinity edges, postcard views, and water that feels like silk.
-
The Walks: For me, the best part was simply wandering around. Gravel paths crunching under my shoes, birds somewhere in the distance, and the kind of silence you don’t get in city life.
Call me sentimental, but that silence stays with you.
Who It’s For
That’s the interesting thing I couldn’t pin this resort down to just one type of traveler.
-
Couples get their romance here. Candlelit dinners, private balconies, the works.
-
Families have room to breathe, space for kids to run wild, and enough activities to keep everyone distracted.
-
Solo travelers (like me on this trip) find it’s the sort of place where you finally catch up with yourself.
The Part That Got Me
If I’m being entirely real, it wasn’t the luxury that hooked me. I’ve seen “luxury” before. What got me were the details.
Like, the way my name popped up at breakfast as though I’d been staying there for weeks. Or how the room faintly smelled like cedarwood. Or the simple fact that nobody rushed me—even during checkout. These are the kinds of things you can’t fake.
Final Thoughts
Here’s the truth: you don’t need a whole week to feel transformed. Sometimes one night is enough.
A Night at The Spruce Resort gave me more than a comfortable bed it gave me a reset button. For those hours I spent there, deadlines, buzzing phones, and city madness felt like another lifetime. And honestly, that’s worth every cent.
So if you’re on the fence, wondering if this place lives up to the whispers take it from me: it does. One night, one stay, and chances are you’ll be planning your return before you even leave.
