Staff were very friendly and accomodating overall. One thing that did NOT fit the whole experience was the breakfast. There was NO staff available to assist. We didn't know how things were to go. It would have been nice to have an option to order meat or eggs, or just have that option. We needed some assist and i practically had to walk into the kitchen to get this. It was not a great experience compared to other hotel's breakfasts and cost/ night here is considerably more expensive.

ok but not great

We enjoyed the warm, indoor pool, but there were no towels at the pool. My husband went to the main desk to ask about towels, and he was told that it had been a busy day and the towels were in the wash. Well, apparently they need to buy more pool towels, so they have a bigger supply! Also, our room was modern and clean, but the bathroom had very poor lighting, and there was no place at all to hang any towels.

Traveling with dogs limits options for us but I liked the cabin idea at this facility. I read prior reviews and booked anyway die to our limited options. Overall this resort could use updates to cabins and a good cleaning. No musty smell but dusty and cobwebs on porch, carpet stains. Beds comfy, amenities in room good, food was good, view nice, available extras like bikes and canoes great. Excellent mini splits for AC were quiet and cool! 3/5 would be my rating.
