My stay at the resort was pleasant, marked by friendly staff and a great beach bar experience. The lakefront room disappointed due to cleanliness and a lack of view, which detracted from the overall value. The facilities, including the indoor pool, were well-kept, but dining options could use improvement in variety. I appreciated the good amenities, but there's room for enhancement, especially regarding the restaurant service.

Our stay at the Margate was enjoyable overall, highlighted by the beautiful lake view from our room. The outdoor and indoor pools were great for the kids, and the staff showed remarkable dedication. However, the rooms could definitely use some upgrading, and the breakfast options were quite limited. The nearby beachside bar was nice but a bit on the pricey side.

I had a very disappointing experience at this resort. While the location is nice, with a scenic view of the lake and outdoor activities nearby, the overall service and dining options left much to be desired. My family had trouble accessing meals, and cleanliness was a major issue, which ultimately led us to leave the hotel early. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this resort due to the lack of management response and facilities.
