Reviews and Ratings
The resort offers modern rooms with comfy beds, full cable smart TV, nice bathrooms, and tasty coffee, with amazing views and excellent entertainment. However, one downside is the price of the dining experience.
The hotel is situated in a convenient location offering beautiful water views of the lake, perfect for a family visit. The rooms were a mix of great cleanliness with a few fingermarks and scratches on the walls, but the storage room type accommodations were a downside. The service was a bit inconsistent, with lazy staff members giving excuses, but a helpful employee using a golf cart stood out. The dining could be improved from a limited buffet breakfast to the delicious Boathouse meals. The facilities overall were good, with some noise disturbances in Taboo in October.
The hotel offers beautifully modernized rooms with a stunning fireplace, luxurious bathroom featuring a walk-in rainfall shower, and deep soaker tub, along with plenty of sink counter space. However, despite having to request it multiple times, the room was everything we desired.
