We had a mixed experience at this hotel. The pool area had a standout lifeguard who was vigilant and attentive, ensuring everyone was safe while we were swimming. However, the maintenance of our unit fell short of expectations with cleanliness issues and insufficient kitchen supplies. The price we paid didn't match the overall value of the accommodations, leaving us disappointed.

My stay here was quite disappointing. While the pool and playground were great for the kids, the rooms were far from clean and comfortable. We had issues with a strong mildew smell and unclean bedding. The staff was accommodating when we voiced our concerns, but overall, the conditions of the rooms made it hard to relax.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The campsite was a lot of fun, with clean facilities and enjoyable amenities like mini golf and pools. However, the accommodations weren't as great, with maintenance issues and a lack of supplies in the unit. The location was nice for camping, but some aspects could definitely use improvement.

Our stay was overwhelming in a positive way. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The cabin we stayed in was spotless and beautifully maintained, but unfortunately, the pool was a letdown since it was not heated as advertised. Despite that, we had a wonderful time overall and will definitely be back!

I had a very mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the outdoor pool was a blast, especially with the awesome lifeguard who made our time there unforgettable. On the other hand, the area could use some improvement, as I faced a lot of noise from neighboring cabins which made it hard to relax. While the amenities are fun for families, my cabin left much to be desired in cleanliness and comfort.
