Labor Day weekend getaway

The view was amazing of the lake. The activities they had for the kids over Labor Day weekend was super awesome. The only thing that I was not pleased with with the hotel, although they did make it right is that they only had one roll of toilet paper in the room and only Four large towels, which is not enough for a four day stay . I know a lot of hotels do the whole every three days they clean the room kind of thing, but I think a lot of hotels need to reevaluate that because the garbage garbage is were overflowing and ran out of space very quickly within two days. There was also not a microwave which I had to walk to the main area to microwave popcorn during select hours that it was open, which was kind of a disappointment. Customer service is very good. The food is very good. The ease of check in and out is easy all the free activities for the kids was amazing. it was nice to have full shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, and lotion in the bathroom.

We stayed 1 night in a room in an older building which felt really dungeon like, and the smell in there was not good. My husband got no sleep due to an allergic reaction to something, most likely mold. We requested a newer room and were moved to the newer main building which was 100 times better. Now we know. Nice amenities, dining, atmosphere around the resort. Some parts are just old and need updating.

The property needs some updates - wood needs replaced, much need painted and concrete needs repaired. We had to pay $11 each to play putt putt but the course was in bad condition and needed cleaned off. It was inconvenient getting to the various pools and restaurants but they tried to accommodate by offering golf shuttle services that you had to phone or ask staff to arrange pickup. Although I never expect a lot of vegan/vegetarian options, a couple (besides salads or an occasional veggie burger) would be great. Parking was a challenge showing the main parking garage was full the whole time we were there even during a slower time. Where we had to park required A LOT of steps to get to our room so if we were handicapped this would be out of the question - no ramps. There in August and the pools were freezing. Room service only every couple days so they needed to leave more coffee supplies in the room or at least make it easy to get more. Staff was overall very nice and our room was clean.

So Much more than Paradise

I was BLOWN AWAY by the service here. From check in everyone was so friendly and helpful. There’s a shuttle that takes you anywhere. You are sent a text a check in, and that was wonderful! Our shower stopped working, and they had an engineer there in 10 minutes!! I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Ozarks. Infinity pool, indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, it had everything. The room was beautiful as well, with a lake view. Sunset was beautiful. Will definitely be back.
