We stayed at Cragun's over MEA. The area around the resort was beautiful. The cabin we stayed in was old, worn out, and not very clean. The furniture was uncomfortable, the stove/oven were from the 1980's and heated food unevenly. There was no WIFI and besides the indoor pool there was limited entertainment for young children.

I thought the area was beautiful, property was a little tired. My room was nice and worked. I thought the restaurants and selections were very limited and food was marginal. I found I visited a neighboring resort for dinning, which was very good. Dinning defiantly needs to improve

The property was vast with plenty room. I arrived a couple hours early. I was told I'd get am email when my room was ready. I never did. The restaurants weren't open till five. There's a small bar by the check. The server new absolutely nothing and didn't care either. I asked for directions to the Legacy bar. He told me to look it up. I had to make to noise complaints for people partying on a deck below. I got apathy from almost everyone. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
