the hard boiled eggs were floating in water and vinegar? either way not fresh. Very disappointed in that part, even though it was free. Hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming.

The property is wonderful and the staff was exceptional. The only negative was the bathroom.

To be honest the resort was lovely, but the check in process was horrible,

I booked 2 rooms they had rooms on the second floor but my husband has a bad knee.

We said we would wait for a downstairs rooms.
they said ok check back , well finally after 5 on a friday the rooms were ready , turns out the one room got done before , so we waited together as a family , over an hour for the next room, turns out the room we ended up with one had been available the whole time !!!

So we ended up waiting an extra hour until 5 that is really unacceptable.

The resort is nice and in a wonderful location.
Breakfast was very nice, plenty of options , different both days that's a plus.

I understand good help is hard to find these days .
But the hotel could have offered a drink at the tiki bar that would have been professional.

This facility was booked in order to participate in boating adventures. They do have a boat ramp though somewhat narrow. The issue arises when using the dock for tying up while launching, recovering or use for lunch at the grill. The dock space is signed for the hotel however the water adventure shop has dominated most of the dock. Numerous times I witnessed the dock staff yelling across the dock for someone not to dock their boat to use the facilities stating they had paddlers returning or other boats had priority. They did indicate a somewhat hidden spot one could use. My complaint, is that this becomes a hostile experience and was remarked on by others as well. I feel this could be easily remedied with clear signage stating which spots were open on a first come first serve basis. Otherwise, many would not return and I am one included. Even when I returned for lunch, since there was not a dock staff person to advise which slip I could use, I instead just docked next door at another welcoming restaurant to avoid the stress.

Lodge had nice amenities: breakfast, pool, hot tub, marina. But the bed was terrible. Mattress was uncomfortable and sat on a steel frame with a board on top. Frame was so noisy even if you just turned to change your position on the bed. Never experienced anything like that before. We only had a 2 night stay or would have requested a room charge, although after reviewing the pics online that seems to be how all the beds are set up.

Friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. We were assigned room 1201. After check-in, we went to the tiki bar. Food was very good. I had the smash burger and my boyfriend had the fried boneless chicken thighs - Nashville Hot.

The room was clean but there had been prior water damage. Unfortunately, the King bed was a mattress on a metal frame. The mattress was well worn and our backs let us know the morning of checkout. The metal frame made lots of noise whenever you turn over or get in or out of bed. The A/C worked well but was very noisy. After the first night, we left the fan on the continuous setting which helped with the noise. The rooms have beautiful plantation shutter s but no darkening curtains. We brought 2 beach towels from home and we used those to block out the light after waking up way to early the first morning. Our room was at the end of the building closest to the highway and the road noise from semi trucks was noisy. The property is well maintained but we didnt get the rest and relaxation we were looking for. The hot tub had teenagers in it and the temperature was probably in the upper 90's so we didn't get to enjoy it.

Good waterfront location with dining and bar on site. Pool and hot tub well maintained and while we couldn't locate pool towels, a friendly lady eventually came around with some small locker sized towels. Double beds almost kept us from choosing this location, but the rooms were adequate and the a/c worked. Expect not to have a room available until after 4pm check in time and be ready to wait again in line. Breakfast was included and there was good enough variety though not enough seating as breakfast was displaced for a meeting. Kayaks and boats available for rental as well as group tours and have good reviews. Plenty of food options close by with nice views and outdoor dining. It appears that they were recently acquired by Wyndham and small renovations were in process during our stay. Will likely stay again.
