The resort offers fantastic waterfront activities like inflatable courses and free watercraft, which make it a fun destination for families. However, the accommodation and service quality are lacking, with issues such as dirty linen left in the hallway and dated facilities. The dining experience was also overpriced for the quality of food offered.

We had a great time enjoying all the waterfront activities at this resort, which kept our entire family entertained. The staff at the waterfront was organized and focused on safety, but the accommodations didn't meet the level of a true resort experience, with inconsistent unit quality and disappointing food options. Overall, it was a fun place for the family, but I would recommend either bringing your own food or dining off-site.

Rooms

5.0

Our lakeside condo-style accommodations were a mixed bag; two of the four units we had were okay, but the others fell short with hard beds, limited towels, and quirky kitchen supplies.

Service

While the staff at the waterfront was great, the overall service in the dining options was slow, and the food quality was lacking, so it felt a bit inconsistent.

The resort is beautifully situated by the lake, which was perfect for all the water activities we enjoyed. However, access to some areas can be challenging, especially for those who are less mobile.

The waterfront activities were fantastic and well-organized, but the overall resort facilities were not as high-quality as I expected.
