Why pay for membership Just pay to use it!

by TheGuy007

I was member and all of the reviews about "Classy" and "High Class" just about say it all. Why pay dues to be a member when for 50 bucks you can just come right on in and get treated with class! After all, it's a resort not a club and everyone is able to come to a resort. The reviews tell you all about how great it is to get married or have a Spa treatment in this Classy, High Class place that costs a grip. I too hope to live in a classy place that has a room full of mirrors someday. I was also thrilled to see that the restaurant is for non-members too. The "members only" lounge is available for all wedding parties and not just members no matter what you are told. I am also very pleased to learn that The Resort isn't so "snobby" and that they don't make the bride walk through the Buffet line in her dress! All of this just makes the place so High Class and Classy. Sadly, I was just not High Class enough.

• Pros: It's Classy and High Class
• Cons: No reason to pay dues

Boom

by twitchyfoot

I just attended a wedding here! My bestie just got married, and it was such a beautiful day. Can I just say.. wow the setting was awesome. Looks like it costed a grip of money,... but I'm pretty sure she isn't all that rich.`She got married in a garden behind this mansion. The place had soo many waterfalls it was ridiculous! Being in the wedding party we got to go in the mansion and take a bunch of pictures. It was soo much fun... and someday I hope to live in a place like that. The stair case alone took my breathe away. Her reception was in a pretty room with tons of mirrors... LOVE IT!!

• Pros: The water fountains def set the mood
• Cons: the heat

A wonderful world of wellness

by abigail13

Arden Hills has emerged as one of Sacramento's most beautiful resorts. I am so happy to have a place near home that focuses on the necessities of living a healthy and fulfilling life. Not to mention the staff provides for great customer service. The resort as a whole offers so much to it's members and goes above and beyond to provide the best home away from home feel. Whether I am having an event, want to be pampered at the villa and spa, or simply just want to lay by the pool after an intense tennis match, Arden Hills offers it all.

• Pros: great customer service and overall experience

My Salon Experience

by MollySchu8

I went in for a hair cut on Friday to Salon Cabochon and had Becca give me a complementary consultation on what she suggested I should do. She suggested that I add some layering and take about an inch of length off to make sure my hair was healthy. I was a little worried about that but i gave a shakey thumbs up to her and told her to "go for it." I am SOOOOOOOOOOO glad I did. Not only wast he service she provided me top notch, but my hair since then has been so manageable and easy to work with. I have recieved so many compliments from people about the styling and layers that she did that i wanted to make sure i posted something giving the much deserved kudos to Becca. Overall, the environment was BEAUTIFUL, staff was very friendly, and the scalp massage that she gave me was enough to destress me at least until my next hair cut. Thanks BECCA!

• Pros: Customer service and atmosphere.
• Cons: None that i could see!

WONDERFUL 5 STAR EXPERIENCE

by bjbpoker

I've been a member for 5 years at AHCC and I'm honestly shocked by some of these reviews. Over the last 2-3 years the member events have gotten exponentially better, including the "Breakfast with Santa" event and most recently "Daddy and Me at the Campground". It is so nice to see that they are actually adding events for children and the younger demographic at Arden Hills.

The concierge manager has been fabulous every time I have spoken with her regarding my reservations and reward points. I think everyone on this site needs to relax and take the time to enjoy the improvements the club has made over the last few years. The current concierge manager is the definition of "5-stars", and anyone who says otherwise is clearly either delusional or completely unreasonable. We would not trade our membership at Arden Hills for anything!

• Pros: Excellent staff, most notably the wonderful concierge manager
• Cons: absolutely none, except for the fact that apparently some very negative people visit the club from time to time

It's about time!

by Happyjoebl

I love this place. Me and my life partner enjoy our weekends here and love the compassionate staff. This has got to be the best gay friendly health resort in town. It's nice to have an upper class place just for people like us! It's about time!

The Real Story...

by 73rdHomeRun

Arden Hills has the potential to be a great establishment if they would only concider what would be interesting and fun for members. Concierege is extremely out of touch with the business! The bands are dated, events are rarely attended and the concierege manager is just down right rude! It's as if she scatters to find any activity to fill the calender in fear of her job. Not just her, from the GM down , this incompetent group of people need a reality check on how to engage members to keep us around! From a service stand point most of the staff are friendly and attentive, Mangos and the bar especially. If you want a decent meal, the restaurant is good but if you're looking to join a club in search of like minded people and a little fun, save your money. Arden Hills is a ghost town. Grab a friend and go down to the Luna instead...that's where most of us go anways.

• Pros: Friendly staff (Kevin & Angela especially)
• Cons: Terrible management,boring events.

Mangos at Arden Hills has great service!!!

by hiker27

Ok well first of all, I didnt even know that the resteraunt was open to the public! (i thought it was members only?!) Its absolutley beautiful, and would be even better in the summer time out on the gorgeous patio area! My friend used to be a member at arden hills and told us about the "tropical cuisine", so my husband and I decided to give it a try. The food was great! I must say it was a little expensive, but definitley worth it. There was even a live jazz band playing in the lounge area, which I guess happens every Thursday night!? Our dinner was delicious and the ambiance of this place was just as impressive, but I think the one thing that I will come back for was the service. Our server (I think his name was Kevin?) was GREAT. He was so helpful and friendly. Since it was our first time to the resteraunt we had a bunch of questions about arden hills and Kevin was happy to stop and answer them all even thought I knew he was pretty busy with other guests. After dinner we hung out in the lounge area for a little bit to listen to the jazz band and the bartender was just as friendly as our server. I had to write about this, because it seems these days good service is getting harder and harder to find. We will definitley go back to arden hills!

• Pros: the friendly employees
• Cons: a little expensive, but worth it

Amazing Place!!!!

by jwilkinson209

This is the best place I have ever been to when it comes to a country club. I went to look at the location for my wedding this summer and i was just amazed at how beautiful the location was. The courtyard and villa garden are absolutely beautiful the rooms are diffrent sizes depending on the size of your party and can accomodate pretty big size wedding. The customer service there was terrrific. Not to mention there is a bed and breakfast villa where you can stay the day or night of your wedding day. A beautiful salon with an amazing shampoo room, oh did i mention the customer service the receptionist there was very friendly,sweet and very helpful when it came to answering my questions. And right across the salon there is a little boutique (needs a little help when it comes to there merchandise) there wasnt that many things that catch your eye like boutique's usually do. The receptionist there were also very helpful and even took me on a tour of the spa. Also breath taking like the rest of the facility. They even have showers and steam rooms that patrons can acess when recieving services. Oh and you dont have to be a member to use the salon or the spa. I left pretty blown away with everything the facility had to offer. The people there are the nicest most professional people I have ever dealt with when it comes to a country club. They are not snotty at all. It was the perfect place especially for an out of town bride like me there was everything i needed for my wedding no hassle of driving around to diffrent places.

• Pros: Customer service/ Offers various services
• Cons: boutique (needs a little more)
