| - This is a review of the pool only. Went to the pool over Memorial Day holiday and it was awful. I arrived at 9:00 am Sunday morning, and it was already packed. Thankfully, my friend who was staying there arrived at 7:30 am to get the last 2 open lounge chairs. The pool is very small in relation to some of the other newer resorts in the area. Normally, I like a crowded and bustling pool scene, but when the crowd consists of 75% children squirting their water guns my direction, I'll pass. The bar didn't open until 11am, which doesn't score them any points, either, especially considering that I had to put up with 100+ screaming 8 year olds ruining my tan. As the day progressed and the sun intensified, my friend asked for an umbrella no fewer than 3 times before getting someone to move one her direction. This would have been expected, except that there was a closed umbrella about 15 feet away from her that simply needed to be transplanted into the stand nearby. The food wasn't bad at all, and the drinks were tolerable...when we were finally able to flag down a waitress sometime around noon. A little music might have helped, too. Sadly, the Biltmore seems long overdue for an update.
