We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The rooms were spacious enough for our family of four, and our request for rooms near the bus stop proved very convenient. This location placed us close to the main pool and made it easy to walk across the lake to reach the main building.

The dining options were impressive, with a wide variety of quick-service choices including pasta, pizza, salmon, and even prime rib, alongside convenient grab-and-go selections. Despite the resort’s size, it never felt overwhelming or difficult to navigate.

While we only swam once, the kids absolutely loved the water slide and the hot tub!
