The resort has beautiful views and a variety of recreational activities, making it ideal for families. However, I encountered significant issues with the handling of a wedding event during my stay, which detracted from the overall experience. The room was decent, but the service during the event was quite lacking. Dining options were hit or miss – the upscale restaurant had a great meal, but the breakfast buffet left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. While the views of the lake were stunning and the staff was genuinely attentive, the room left much to be desired, suffering from maintenance issues and noise from neighboring guests. Dining was hit or miss, with some pleasant meals overshadowed by a lack of variety, particularly for dietary restrictions. Overall, it’s a lovely locale, but the accommodations and dining need improvements to match the price point.
