Fantastic Dining Experience

I had the pleasure of dining at the Beach 243 restaurant during my stay, and it was an excellent experience! The food was delicious, and the stunning view of the lake while enjoying my meal added to the ambiance. I couldn't have asked for a better dining spot to celebrate my time here.

Superior Comfort

I stayed in a junior king suite, and it was perfect! The bed was incredibly comfortable, which made for a restful sleep. Also, having a parking space right outside my suite door was a great bonus. The design of the room was well thought out, and I felt at home right away.

Luxurious Bathroom

The bathroom in my room was gorgeous! It had a lovely dressing room area that was both functional and spacious. I appreciated how well designed it was, allowing me to feel pampered during my stay. It made my mornings much more enjoyable.

Grotto Pool Delight

The Grotto Pool is an absolute must! I relished my time relaxing in the heated outdoor pool, which was so inviting even in cooler weather. It provided a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring, and the atmosphere was simply good.

The hotel is in a beautiful location that overlooks the lake, and the staff were really helpful during my stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they feel quite dated and could use some renovations. The facilities, including the indoor grotto and pool, were enjoyable, but the dining options were somewhat limited and not the best value for money.
