The room was large and well designed with a great view of the lake. It had everything I needed in it.
My only comment it that the area downstairs that leads to the pool should be better lit. Perhaps with sensor lights.
Private spa and space, large balcony overlooking the lake in close proximity, large living areas with the three bedroom apartment, perfect home to home living, it had everything including robes! :) - Thanks for an awesome stay!
