I had a fantastic time at this resort with stunning lake views and a large indoor pool that my kids absolutely loved. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made our stay even better. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown, and we had a frustrating situation during the Easter Buffet. Overall, it was a good value for the amenities provided.
