I didn't like the service on the rooms as far as toilet paper , facial tissue , and towels. Ihad to call the desk for someclean towels and they left the dirty ones in the bathroom. I also had to go downstairs to the desk for a roll of toilet paper.

We had our family vacation here, there were 15 of us (ages 6 through 80) and the amenities were pretty good. The beach was quiet for the most part even with the property being sold out. The lake was perfect for water sports, we rented a boat and water skis. The hotel rooms were good as well, the king beds were wonderful. Even the petite king room was good. The "breakfast" needs improvement. Checking a box and getting a cold breakfast sandwich I need to heat up in the microwave wasn't what I was expecting. Also, the gym is just okay but if you are looking to do a quick workout, it does the trick. Overall, we had a wonderful time for the 4 days we were there.
