The property is great for families! We stayed here because we were attending a wedding nearby. We did not bring our kids but we really wish to come back. The pool area is great. We loved that there’s onsite restaurants and even a coffee shop. Restaurant with lake view was beautiful and the food was delicious. We were welcomed with a welcome drink and I thought that was a such a nice personal touch. Loved that they included kayak, golf range and bikes to use. Will definitely be planning a trip back.

Property was nice but alittle over highly priced for the property in my opinion. My first room was infested with ants and I got bit after sitting in the bed , staff was quick to change me to a 1 bed upgraded suite but then my son had to sleep on the couch which is not my favorite option when booking a room with 2 real beds. The suite home was ok which the bathroom was in our room and it was the worst shower imaginable for a non assessable person . Imagine a large lock room open shower with no door a tiny plastic sheet hanging to while you and only a stable shower head that blasts water across the bathroom and doesn’t sit at an angel to shower anything g higher then your belly button . Now after thinking this was not great experience for the price I paid per night . The hotel tired but it wasn’t a good fix to their ant problem . Probably will not return .
