Great Beachside Bar

The beach bar was a fantastic surprise! Being served right on the beach while enjoying good food was an lovely experience. The atmosphere was lively, and I loved the convenience of grabbing a bite without leaving the sandy shores. Plus, the variety of drinks available really added to the enjoyment of my stay.

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.

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.

Dining options were limited and not open late enough. The beach bar closed at 8 PM, leaving us with no food options for our kids.
