Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are well-appointed with excellent bedding, providing a clean and comfortable stay. The service, particularly by the manager Nathan, was exceptional, ensuring a pleasant experience for my son and me. The location is beautiful, with extensive onsite activities and amenities, although there were unexpected fire alarms during the stay. The dining experience at Highball and Harvest was exceptional, featuring amazing dishes like eggs Benedict.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel over the weekend with a fantastic view of the property, lake, and even Disney World in the distance. The rooms were amazing, providing a resort view for the weekend. The surrounding location allowed for easy access to Disney and other attractions, but I must admit that the lack of amenities like water slides and a lazy river was a bit noticeable compared to other resorts.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms provided a breathtaking view of the lake, and the overall property was beautiful. However, the cleanliness could have been better as the basic amenities like shower gel were not replaced regularly.
