What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Spacious

The 2-bedroom apartment we stayed in was exactly as pictured—very clean and comfortable. It had ample space and a full kitchen with essential appliances like a convection oven and microwave, which allowed us to prepare some meals. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making our stay restful. I also appreciated the thoughtful touch of having extra amenities like body wash, hair dryer, and coffee. It felt just like being at home.

Fun Family Amenities

We had a great time with the paddle boat available for guests! It was fantastic to explore the beautiful lake directly from the resort. Plus, the TV in our room was equipped with a firestick, which kept us entertained in the evenings. The outdoor fire pit was another highlight where we enjoyed some family games under the stars. Overall, the entertainment options really made our stay enjoyable!

Kid-Friendly Experience

Our kids loved the lake and the pool area! Direct access to swimming and plenty of space to run around made it an ideal spot for families. While we had a cozy apartment, we enjoyed hanging out at the dock where there was lots of seating, which kept everyone happy. This was a fantastic vacation for both adults and children, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to create family memories.

Relaxing Lake Views

The outdoor seating with a view of the lake was absolutely lovely! We spent many evenings relaxing by the fire pit, soaking in the serene atmosphere, and enjoying our surroundings. There were plenty of spots to lounge, and I loved that we could have our meals outside. This setting made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable, truly a highlight of our vacation.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort spa. The location is fantastic, right by the lake and close to the amusement park, which made it perfect for family activities. The rooms were spacious and modern, and I appreciated the clean and comfortable environment. However, the dining options during breakfast could use some improvement, and I did feel that some amenities were slightly lacking. Overall, it's a great value for the price!

This resort spa has a beautiful setting and offers a lot of amenities but falls short in a few areas. The rooms are modern and spacious, and there's a fantastic pool to enjoy. Unfortunately, the dining options didn't impress me as much as I had hoped, and the price for the services could be better. Overall, it's a relaxing place to stay, just be prepared for a few shortcomings.
