I was very disappointed with my stay. The room was dirty, with dog toys left on the floor, and the so-called balloon room was extremely unclean. The washroom had not been properly cleaned, and one of the towels even had blood and hair on it. A pillow was also in poor condition. When I went downstairs to speak with the reception staff, their response was unprofessional—they simply said they could clean the room but nothing more could be done. Because of this experience, I will never return to this hotel and would not recommend it to anyone.

We stayed in the Bayshore by the beach and it was a large, clean room. Lots of hot water. Comfortable beds. Lots of soft pillows - could use some firm ones. We had meals at the Drift buffet twice; the Compass Grill twice and the Maple Pub once. All food was excellent but expensive. A good place to grab a less expensive meal is the Farmers Daughter. We tried to book massages and escape room but were not successful. The weather was cold and rainy so most outdoor activities were out. The indoor pool was good as was the hot tub. All staff were friendly and helpful. It’s important to note this is a family friendly resort. There are lots of kids running around, screeching. We didn’t mind most of the time. Good place for families. Also there were LGBTQ+ Friendly signs which we appreciated. Overall a good visit and next time we might take our grandkids.

Came here for a mini-escape. Definitely one of our favourite places. We came a couple of hours early and they allowed us an early check-in and also a late check-out, which was a very nice surprise. We stayed in the Bayshore building. That building definitely could use an upgrade. Right away you noticed a heavy, pugnent odor in the entrance, halls, and room, which i think could be just from the age. Overall though the experience was great though. We definitely will be coming back but probably going for the Lakeside building instead.

Found it quite odd that we left room for the day and ...room service didn't clean or make beds or gave us towels or emptied our trash......was told we should have told front desk when we left to clean our room......this is a big resort first time I have run into this situation.....Television in room was something that would have been good for viewing 15-20 years ago...old and around 27 inches.....movies on demand 24.99 rip off get them at home free.....breakfast for four of us ran 150.00...30.00 per person plus tax and of course tip.....dining they had a buffet starting at 49.95 per person family of 4 easily 300.00 dollars for a meal....of course have too throw in a tip....Little tiny fridge can fit comfortably 4 bottles of water lol.....4 of us we drink a lot more water than that on a hot day. If you decide to use a vending machine have a credit card ready...3.00 for a small bag of chips.....4 bucks for a water....and have to keep using credit card for each purchase.....before leaving ask if there is an ice machine in the building anywhere ....was told there was one on our floor....I walked many times up and down the floor hallways.....it was in a small room with a tiny table reading ice on the door....of course I missed it there's only a 100 doors in the hallway. I found a lot of people wandering around especially if you have young adults....resort should plan activities....or lol....I guess I should have asked......didn't sleep well pillows to small....tried to watch tv

It was a nice place but everything seemed to be an extra charge when you're already paying a lot to stay there. Also my daughter fell and we are still waiting for an employee to bring us some ice.

August 2025 stay: Some of the staff were very kind and helpful. There was an associate working the front desk who we unfortunately got every time. She was difficult to hear and seemed annoyed at everything. The pool is small for the amount of guests with not nearly enough chairs. The “beach” is the same. The dining options are limited with kids in my opinion. But Huntsville is close. We had pets with us (love how pet friendly it is) and could only stay in a certain building which impacted our visit as there wasn’t a lake view. The balcony was in rough shape. The room itself was comfortable and clean. Overall if you can get a good rate it is a decent place to take kids ages 6 and over. The pavilion needs to be renovated. Broken window treatments, peeling wall coverings, etc.
