Just wish there were more dining options onsite or nearby but our room has a fully equipped kitchen. There was a market nearby but it was a little pricy. For the price of the stay, breakfast and/or water park should have been included. Other than that, beautiful property. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Safe, lovely place! We’ll be back with groceries in tow lol! GREAT PLACE, very helpful staff!!

The heated pool and hot tub were great. The room was nice with full size appliances. Unfortunately, the bathroom floor was in desperate need of washing. Natural surroundings were great. Also decor was very nice. Restaurant was closed as it was off season. Bar served a very good burger.

My family and I loved our summer visit. The property has lots of activities. We went for a hike in the morning and the waterpark in the afternoon and my kids had the best time. We will definitely be back. Also one of our kids has many food allergies and we went to multiple dining options on property and everyone was kind and very accommodating.

We stayed for 3 nights during a baseball tournament. The kids had a lot of fun, and there were plenty of activities around the hotel. The beds were clean and comfortable, and we appreciated having kitchen tools (pots/pans/plates/knives etc.) in the room. The only negative was a very slow elevator.

Property was clean. The pool closed at 8:00pm and opened 12:00pm the next day. Check out is 11:00am. So if your planning on looking for a pool do not stay here it has limited hours. Waterpark is an additional charge. Resort was nice but plan on spending some money$$$. Everything is extra. Check your card statement because the resort charged for the room that was already paid through expedia. Had to call 2 weeks later for the extra charge.
