The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee

“Well, 2nd stay at the Lake Oconee and I have to say it is been remarkable both visits. We dined at the Oconee Cove after having a lovely spread of yumminess in the room prior. Gede did not disappoint on his laughter, his respectfulness, and his taste to making the perfect cocktail for my wife and I for her birthday. The Blinis and caviar we're amazing, however I recommend removing most of the creme fraiche on the bottom. I would rather just have the caviar. The Champaign poached shrimp cocktail was delicious. The room service was just like you had dined in a restaurant and we did a lot of that” — Michael Hanley

“Not the Ritz of times past...:((( Beautiful property, friendly staff. New hires at ADL restaurant not very knowledgeable about food nor how things should be. The egg cook didn't know what "over medium" was. No one said "My Pleasure". Even CFA says that! Definitely a training issue; no consistency. Club Lounge was overrun with unruly young kids; little parental supervision. They treated the Lounge like it was Chuckee Cheese. Ruined the whole expensive experience. They need to have a SEPARATE ADULT Club Lounge; seriously, not kidding. Have a Family Club Lounge downstairs since they are coming up” — FREDA WITHERSPOON

“The Ritz-Carlton @ Lake Oconee is the kind of place you go when you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It feels like hidden luxury, quiet, peaceful, and tucked away, but still well known for the service and experience you expect from The Ritz-Carlton. The lake, the views, and the relaxed atmosphere make you slow down as soon as you arrive a real 10 out of 10! It’s upscale without feeling stiff, and it’s the perfect place to rest, reconnect, and enjoy a slower pace. A true Georgia gem.” — Mr. Jones (JR)
