I loved the array of pools and how quiet this location was in January. I was attending a conference and didn’t plan to spend much time at the hotel. It was perfect for the time I did spend there! I loved the onsite pizza shop, little convenience store, and all the offered activities. I would 10/10 stay here again.

Like Vegas, prepare yourself for a daily resort fee, which is billed after checkout. I don’t know why, this always seems to rub me the wrong way, best to be upfront at check in or before booking with this fee. The grounds are well kept, security is present, multiple free pools to choose from, the adult only pool preferable in my opinion.. The rooms are condo style with multiple areas, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bath and outer screened porches.,comfortable. Waterpark is basic and an additional fee, not a Wisconsin Dells, but adequate. Location to the popular attractions is first rate.

Great property. It rained the entire week we were there so we didn't get to use the pools. There actually isn't much to do there on a rainy day. But overall the stay was good and we'd consider doing it again. Just not in March.

This was our third time staying at this property, it was immaculate as usual and the room clean and well stocked and the a.c worked great. Most the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful. The ice machines were no longer working but they did have someone deliver our room some ice in a timely manner. My only issues were the bartender at the covered bar in the water park made me get up from my seat at the bar to stand in a line to order another drink, also the jets were not working at the hot tub closest to the main lobby and the staff we told were uninterested and unwilling to help, besides that a great experience!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was extremely friendly and courteous when I arrived and remained very helpful throughout my stay. The facility I found to be very old in decor and in need of serious upgrade. The room had torn and very worn out furniture, but the bathroom and shower were clearly updated and very nice. The elevator was very dirty and remained so throughout. The adult only pool was nice until a ton of kids came and the adult only was never enforced. I did like the boardwalk to the small island hut and I spent my mornings there enjoying the beautiful view and the lake view. The facility is a member owned facility and not nearly as nice as others I have stayed out. Again, cleanliness has a lot to be desired and it badly needs a refresh.

I loved this resort. A few things to note: it is a cashless resort. I was not fond of the daily service fee for use of the amenities on the property and you had to pay an extra $20.00 to go to the Treasure Island area where the lazy river was. There are 7 lovely, clean pools to use. There is a very convenient transit bus to get around the property. You are not able to rent a kayak or canoe to use on the lake. I was also surprised that there were not more restaurants or places to eat on site. I guess most people drive elsewhere. Gift shop lovely. Large Walmart within walking distance ( about 30 minutes). Property is well maintained and clean and very safe and well lit at nighttime. All employees were friendly and helpful. The spa prices are higher by $20.00 on Fridays to Sunday, same service. There is a "Spa" button on the in room phone but the line is always busy and never can get through to book an appointment, but if you use your own cell phone, they answer immediately. There are sales personnel trying to sell timeshares. Rooms are clean. Everything in great working condition and if there is a problem, someone comes and helps right away. Great for families. Security is present on property. I would definitely visit this resort again. I consider it a 6 Star Resort.
