My stay at the resort was lovely, with beautiful views of the lake and a relaxing atmosphere. The room was comfortable with great amenities, although the rates were on the higher side. I appreciated the staff's helpfulness and the family-friendly facilities like the pool and beach area. On the downside, the dining options were limited and I felt that having no swimming access affected my overall experience.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mix of experiences. The location is truly something special, offering stunning views of the lake and dunes. However, the room we got had a strong odor that took away from the comfort, even though it was clean overall. The service was outstanding, with staff checking in regularly to ensure everything was going well. Still, I found the rates a bit high for what we were given, especially considering the outdated furnishings.
