This is our 4th visit to this resort. My entire family looks forward to this trip each year. There is a similar setup much closer to home, minus the beach but with the addition on a wibit course, that would charge the same rates in a weekend, as we get during a peak summer season for a week. With what this resort offers, it is more than worth the drive and price!
I will say, this year there were just a couple things that put a damper on the trip, that we’ve never experienced before. People parking along the narrow driveways or along the narrow roads, making it difficult to drag our rig in, was a negative mark as soon as we pulled in. Again, we’ve never had this issue before, but it made things difficult as the paths are just big enough for one vehicle.
The second negative was a charter bus with a bunch of kids of all ages, pulled in. It wouldn’t have been too big of an issue except, this kids were WILD!! They were not RV guests. They came with a church just for the day. Which would have been fine, except they flooded the lazy river, and had no etiquette or manners. They jumped in the river on top of people, we’re throwing footballs, frisbees, and tubes- hitting guests with the objects, and most of the rv guests evacuated the area until they departed. I realize this is a business and they can do with it what they want, but when I’ve spent $500 to sleep in said resort, I hope for the amenities to be to MY advantage and safely. My children were hit with many of the objects thrown.
Now, on to the positives. Like I mentioned, this is our 4th summer spent at this resort. We truly do enjoy it. There are so many things available to do, you truly don’t have to leave, if you didn’t want to. Multiple pools, a jacuzzi, sauna, lazy river, mini golf, movies, bouncy pillow, and a brisk walk to the beach. That doesn’t include the multiple bath houses, laundry facilities, and the pavilion. We were disappointed to see the original hot tub filled in with soil, plants and mulch, but figured there must have been a really expensive issue with it, which it why it was filled in and an external one was brought in. Granted, it didn’t seem that the new jacuzzi was operating properly, as it didn’t get hot enough. But it was a nice additional, all the same. The gates to the pool and splash pad were locked, making it difficult for kids to go back and forth from the splash pad to the pool. We mentioned it to the office, but when we left the pool area 4 hours later, no one ever unlocked the gate.
The grounds are kept up daily. There’s always someone mowing, weedeating , or inspecting things to ensure everything is tidy. Most guests follow the guidelines and keep their sites neat.
We were put up against the road, which we were t thrilled with. It’s a good distance from the amenities, especially since we don’t have a golf cart, but it wasn’t as noisy or as bad as we thought it might be.
There are great places to eat nearby. There are also a couple of little stores, should you need anything!
