I had a mixed experience during my stay at the hotel. While the staff was friendly and the location was quite convenient for exploring the area, I faced several issues with the accommodation and dining services. The room felt cramped and lacked essential amenities like proper blackout blinds. Additionally, the dining situation was frustrating, as we experienced long wait times and incorrect orders which detracted from our overall enjoyment.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the overall cleanliness and the fun outdoor activities available, my experience was marred by poor customer service, particularly related to my inquiries and requests during the stay. The lack of adequate response to issues, such as missing kitchenware and concerns about ladybug in the lodging, made the experience less enjoyable than I hoped for. Overall, I found the accommodations decent, but definitely in need of management improvements.

Our stay at the park hotel was overshadowed by several frustrating issues. While the picturesque setting by the lakes was calming, the accommodations were frankly disappointing with cleanliness and space being major concerns. The facilities promised were either closed or not available, leading to significant disappointment in dining and entertainment. Overall, it felt like a great concept poorly executed, and I wouldn't recommend it based on this experience.
