you just have no idea how huge this is, if you don't have potentially life-threatening allergies. I'm actually tearing up as I write this, because. But the South Point staff was phenomenal - so friendly, helpful, understanding, patient, and meticulous in making sure that I could not only eat while I was there, but that I could relax and really enjoy my meal. and at the other end, they'll be impatient, rude, and even challenging. I travel a good deal and this is not at all my experience - at the 'good' end of the spectrum, the waitstaff makes a note (olive oil and salt only in preparing the food). But what made the trip great for me was how incredibly helpful the restaurants and room service were in working with me and my ridiculous food allergies. And I was right - the horse facilities were top of the line and right there, all under one roof and easily accessible. I loved my room (a king with tons of space, a huge bathroom, and everything I could need for the week I was there). I'm very happy to say the 'human' facilities were really nice - very clean, fresh, nicely decorated, and comfortable. I figured the horse facilities would be great but, although I had seen nice photos online of the rooms and amenities, I didn't really expect much.
I was at South Point to cover the Andalusian World Cup 2018 for my podcast, Because of Horses.
