Room was great - we enjoy a king size bed and it was very comfortable. Next time we stay, going to make sure to book a room with a balcony. The weather was perfect for the weekend and the view of the water would have been great.

Four strikes and you're out.

The room smelled bad. The carpet had stains. The mini fridge was sitting on the floor, so you had to get down on your knees to access it. Front desk staff was rude.

The room was very clean nice lake view from the balcony. The waterfront had several lifeguards. Had waterslides,water baketball, water volleyball. Wadind pool and slide for younger kids. Nice refrigerator in room. No phone or microwave. Everything was scanned. So just having a flip phone wasn't very helpful. No restaurants.

Won’t stay again

For the high price we found out we only received two free swim passes and had to pay for the other two. Reception at front desk was not friendly and was somewhat scolded when I asked for more towels. The AC did not work and I had to fix myself in the middle of the night. Doors were in poor condition and pillars holding up the balconies looked like they were about to fall over. The pool was nice and pool staff was good. There was no breakfast option either.

Lobby was horrible, and our room was small. Advertised as 2 bedroom but didn’t even have a table. No place to get coffee in the morning besides in the room or leaving the property. Too crowded in the pool area.

Just an OK vacation with family nearby. We thought we had a first level room by the pictures we looked at, and instead we had a fourth-floor room that had no view of the lake, and of course we had very noisy neighbors after 10 pm. The price was extreme for what we received, we were there 3 nights and had to ask for clean towels. The pool was very cloudy, and no towels each day we went, and adults were the worst, they left their acholic drinks all over, and we got to see the police come in due to bad adults, just what you want your grandkids to see. Too long of a line at check-in, one person at counter. So over all less then ok for the price.
