I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. The grounds are beautiful, and my kids loved the aqua park, but my cabin was a real letdown with a serious fly problem and dirty dishes. The lack of proper service at the marina was also disappointing. Overall, while there are some great activities for families, the cleanliness and service issues made for a frustrating experience.

The cabin was supposed to accommodate 12, but we were greeted by an infestation of flies and dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. It was not the clean and welcoming space I expected for the price we paid.

The service at the marina could have been much better. The staff seemed bothered and didn’t provide assistance when we needed it, which made kayaking a lot less enjoyable.

My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The location is beautiful, and my room was clean, but the maintenance issues and inconsistent service left a lot to be desired. Dining was frustrating due to slow service and mediocre food, which was disappointing considering the potential of the restaurant. Overall, I appreciated the scenery and activities available, but it needs improvement in several areas.

I was excited about our family getaway to this resort, especially given the scenic surroundings and kid-friendly activities available. The indoor water park was a hit with the younger kids, and I appreciated how clean our room was. However, the overall lack of seating and issues with service during our stay were disappointing. The beach area was quite limited and needed more attention, which detracted from the experience.

My family and I had a memorable stay at the resort with plenty of activities for everyone. The accommodations were clean, and we appreciated the wide range of outdoor options, but we did find the service somewhat lacking during our dining experience. Overall, it’s a great place for families, but it could use some improvements in management and dining efficiency.
