I already have recommended the Fairway Forest Resort to friends & family due to the excellent customer service, the accommodations were superb and the amenities were outstanding. I traveled with my service animal (French Bulldog) and the staff was mindful and so attentive to both of us and treated us with care, dignity and respect which is important to disabled people because we don’t like being singled out and treated less than and the staff was just lovely and sweet to us. We just got home and already are planning our next stay for week instead of a weekend
