Like Vegas, prepare yourself for a daily resort fee, which is billed after checkout. I don’t know why, this always seems to rub me the wrong way, best to be upfront at check in or before booking with this fee.
The grounds are well kept, security is present, multiple free pools to choose from, the adult only pool preferable in my opinion.. The rooms are condo style with multiple areas, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bath and outer screened porches.,comfortable. Waterpark is basic and an additional fee, not a Wisconsin Dells, but adequate. Location to the popular attractions is first rate.
The pool was good the pool bar waiter was great, made excellent drinks and was helpful! , but otherwise we went for ice cream at the little ice cream stand by the water park , no ice cream, the water park was extra, and it closed at 6 pm , so not worth it if your there at 4, 25$ extra a person. Went to go for coffee at Starbucks, it was closed closes at 2 pm in the afternoon! Then there's hidden charges on my cc that are not explained.... over all a beautiful place bad we had a bad experiences! The front desk stafff and concierge staff were great too!!!! The rooms are nice and clean and comfortable!!!!
It was nice and it was clean. The beds are TERRIBLE, like sleeping on a pullout mattress. The waterpark is NOT included and is $25 per person. Parking is also not included, even though on Expedia it says both are included. The walls are paper thin, we could hear the drunk people next door getting home and talking at two in the morning as well as every door shutting, opening and the ding of the elevator. They constantly are trying to sell you time shares for the property as well which is annoying, I’m here for vacation not a 4 hour sales pitch.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This was our third time staying at this property, it was immaculate as usual and the room clean and well stocked and the a.c worked great. Most the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful. The ice machines were no longer working but they did have someone deliver our room some ice in a timely manner. My only issues were the bartender at the covered bar in the water park made me get up from my seat at the bar to stand in a line to order another drink, also the jets were not working at the hot tub closest to the main lobby and the staff we told were uninterested and unwilling to help, besides that a great experience!
The staff was extremely friendly and courteous when I arrived and remained very helpful throughout my stay. The facility I found to be very old in decor and in need of serious upgrade. The room had torn and very worn out furniture, but the bathroom and shower were clearly updated and very nice. The elevator was very dirty and remained so throughout. The adult only pool was nice until a ton of kids came and the adult only was never enforced. I did like the boardwalk to the small island hut and I spent my mornings there enjoying the beautiful view and the lake view. The facility is a member owned facility and not nearly as nice as others I have stayed out. Again, cleanliness has a lot to be desired and it badly needs a refresh.
I loved this resort. A few things to note: it is a cashless resort. I was not fond of the daily service fee for use of the amenities on the property and you had to pay an extra $20.00 to go to the Treasure Island area where the lazy river was. There are 7 lovely, clean pools to use. There is a very convenient transit bus to get around the property. You are not able to rent a kayak or canoe to use on the lake. I was also surprised that there were not more restaurants or places to eat on site. I guess most people drive elsewhere. Gift shop lovely. Large Walmart within walking distance ( about 30 minutes). Property is well maintained and clean and very safe and well lit at nighttime. All employees were friendly and helpful. The spa prices are higher by $20.00 on Fridays to Sunday, same service. There is a "Spa" button on the in room phone but the line is always busy and never can get through to book an appointment, but if you use your own cell phone, they answer immediately. There are sales personnel trying to sell timeshares. Rooms are clean. Everything in great working condition and if there is a problem, someone comes and helps right away. Great for families. Security is present on property. I would definitely visit this resort again. I consider it a 6 Star Resort.
Everything besides the spa and smoke house was wonderful and only because I had an itinerary already planned I didn’t get to enjoy those spaces so pls don’t take it as an insult or bad review. Water park and pools was great for kids and adults our room in our building was nice and clean and we were able to wash if needed to thanks to washer and dryer in our suite and sleep was beyond good no interruptions very peaceful and quiet when time to whine dwn and sleep thank you for being good to us we will stay again in the future
