I only stay at the Abbey when I am in Lake Geneva visiting Family. This trip I was unable to accompany my Wife and her elderly Mother. They had the most amazing stay at this special Resort. It is not just one thing that the staff does right, but every detail is spot on the mark. The incredible staff, the comfortable rooms, the grounds, the location, the amenities and restaurants are all fantastic. I book with confidence at the Abbey and having share this time together is beyond words!

We loved our stay at the Abbey Resort. The grounds are very pretty and well maintained. The lobby, room and amenities are gorgeous. The best part is that it’s just across from the lake and lake shore path. We enjoyed many walks on this path. The peacefulness of this area was exactly what we needed! The staff are friendly and helpful. We did not eat at the restaurants but had our coffee and a croissant in the morning. We can’t wait to go back!

The grounds are beautifully kept. The staff was nice. The food was good at the restaurants - 3.5 stars. Some guests should note there are a few common spaces and the rec room are not air conditioned. On very hot days it’s unpleasant. It wasn’t a deal breaker for us though. They’re historic buildings so that comes with it.
