We had an absolutely wonderful time at this resort! The spacious and clean two-bedroom unit offered stunning views of the lake from our deck. The kitchen was well-equipped, which made our family meals enjoyable. The only downside was the inefficient check-in process; we had to wait longer than expected. However, the great vibe and amenities made up for it, and I can’t wait to return next year.

The resort has some truly luxurious accommodations with stunning views, but the check-in process was frustratingly inefficient. While the villas and common areas were beautifully designed and well-equipped, the noise levels from neighboring units affected the overall experience. The price felt fair for the quality of the space, but there's definitely room for improvement in managing guest arrivals and noise control.

We had a fantastic stay in a luxurious three-bedroom presidential suite. The space was beautifully appointed with high-end amenities, though the beds were a bit too firm for our preference and the carpets needed some attention. Overall, the suite was spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for our family getaway, making it a great value for the price.

I had an amazing stay at this resort! The beautiful surroundings and the numerous amenities made my vacation truly enjoyable. I loved how close everything was, including restaurants and shops. However, be prepared for the winding drive up to the resort as it can be tricky at times, especially in foggy conditions. Overall, I found the accommodations to be great value for money, though I would advise checking the weather before your visit.
