This is a beautiful, small family run hotel. The views were absolutely amazing very friendly staff and a small continental breakfast with oatmeal and cereal and some yogurt. There are a lot of cute places nearby to explore, and given the right circumstances, I would return to the property

Lots of activities for the kids to do - pool, splash area, shuffleboard, tennis courts, basketball, fishing, etc. The staff was also very helpful. My only complaint were the beds weren’t very comfortable. But we would still stay there again!

It was amazing. The place is clean well and maintained. The pools are heated, plenty of lounge chairs, surrounded by cottages and grass. The room had a patio with a view of the water and the pool. The bed was way too firm for my liking.
