Review of Fess Parker's Doubletree Resort

Fess Parkers Doubletree Resort is located in Santa Barbara California and is Santa Barbara's largest resort center. This resort sits across twenty three acre of lush and beautiful land. This Spanish style resort will give your family an oceanfront view they will never forget. There are 360 rooms to choose from with views of the mountains, ocean or golf course! Some of those amenities that you will get to enjoy are the heated outdoor pool, the whirlpool, the fitness center spa, beauty salon gifts shop, tennis courts, basket courts, and bike and skate rental! There is just so much to do here I will not even list them all! There is just so much to keep everyone in your family busy.

The food options are pretty nice. If you like top notches American Cuisine then go to Café Arcos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are in the mood for some delicious steak than go to Rodney's Steakhouse; both restaurants have menus for kids, in my opinion Rodney's Steakhouse has more to offer than Café Arcos for kids.

The rooms here at the Doubletree are just wonderful! Upon entering you will notice on your bed are welcome cookies! That is right, the cooks make fresh chocolate chip cookies everyday for their guests and they leave them on their beds. There are also Crabtree and Evelyn products in the restroom that you get to take home when you leave! There are basics like a double vanity in the restroom. Each room has a desk and wireless connection. Also, there are feather pillows and foam pillows are provided when requested. If you would like to have your bed turned down everyday you actually have to request that service. I thought that was a service they do without having to ask, but here you have to call maid service.

There is an amazing catering service if you decide to have a party, business meeting or family reunion while you stay at the Fess Parkers Doubletree Resort. The culinary team is great to work with because they will make dishes for people with various food allergies and sensitivities. It is best to meet with the culinary team at least two weeks before the event to talk about the meal plan.

Lastly, there is self parking that will cost you $10 a day. If you prefer to not have to deal with parking yourself, you take advantage of valet parking. Valet Parking will cost you $18 a day!
