My single room was very large with two queen beds. The balcony overlooked the lake, which was absolutely gorgeous. I got to my building and use the elevator key to go to my room and it was not working. The staff from the office came right over and exchanged the key with me to let me get up to my room. Would recommend this 10+

I was on the 2nd floor of building #3. Traveling alone, I felt a little unsafe entering a non-secure hallway, and then struggling to get my door unlocked. (The desk representative admitted that she had told someone to work on that lock before my arrival). The room (and view) were very nice, BUT I could everyone talking in the rooms near me. (2am loud video games and more). It was convenient to have a refrigerator
The balcony was nice

I did not go to the bar. My room was nice, but there wasn’t a bar soap and the floor was kind of gritty from sand. I did not go to the beach or the pool as the weather was not good while I was there. The view is tremendous. The set up with the room is nice and I would go back.
