Very Good

should have water dispenser with filtered water and an ice machine. overall good place for a nice vacation. Joshua was helpful, great customer service.
The resort was nice. Check-in was quick. We stayed in longhouse, which has individual access to your door/room with front patio and back patio. Back patio has a picnic table. Front has a couple of patio chairs. There is s large bar fridge and walka-in closet area as well as dresser drawers. There is an indoor pool which was nice. Also, private access to beach about 2 block walk from the gates, accessible only by hotel card. Walk to main part of Grand Bend beach was about 15 minutes. We would definately come back.
Booked a 2 night stay. First room that was assigned to us appeared to have been occupied and still had beds and sheets undone, as well as have toothbrushes and toiletries, etc in the bathroom. Not cool. Called the front desk and they had us move all of our stuff to a different "upgraded" room in a different building altogether. 2nd room was somewhat better, but had a very dusty and dirty floor that has not been cleaned or vaccumed in a very long time. I did not see much of an upgrade.
For the price we paid, we could have had a much nicer place to stay. Although it's a nice family friendly resort, I would not bring my family back here...much better options out there.

The resort was great. Enjoyed the semi private beach. Golf was decent for 9 holes. Had dinner at Dave's Pub which was on site. Had live music. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the room in the Longhouse. Carpet were terrible.
Great amenities. Swimming pool was clean and accessible. Beach was quiet and clean. Sandy and great for young kids. The golf course was well maintained and not overly busy. Easy to book a tee time. Daves pub food was excellent and the server was amazing. Overall fantastic stay. Wish we had booked for a couple extra days
Its close to the strip walking time 20 minutes and nice walking trails through the woods where there is beautful cottages and beach access to walk on

This is a nice resort for families but it was not entirely accessible for my guests with mobility issues. The private beach is accessible only by walking through a gate and 2 blocks of an adjacent private neighborhood so we were not able to use it since my guests could not walk that far. The host originally placed us in a 3rd floor room that had no elevator access but they did find another room with walking access. The hallways are not air conditioned so walking the long hallways in the summer is uncomfortable. The bathrooms could use updating and there are no microwave in the room. The pub had a nice lunch but does not have a clear handicap access as it is right next to the pro shop so there are golf carts lined up on either side on the driveway leading to the pub. There is an excellent full size indoor pool and the setting around a 9 hole hole course is beautiful. We made our stay work but I would be very clear about what kind of room and accessibility is needed as this historic location has limitations.
It was quiet and relaxing and clean. We loved that we had use of the beach which was way quieter than the public beach. The bed was extremely comfortable and the water pressure for the shower was great. We had dinner at the pub and it was great food and a nice atmosphere.
Great place to stay, location is convenient and easy to find and within walking g distance to the main strip. Private beach area was only a short walk from hotel and through an area of beautiful homes. Only downside if the stay was the buffet breakfast, pancakes and waffles a bit hard and cold & eggs seemed like they were prepared the night before (save your $20 per adult o. This buffet and grab breakfast local) We hope to return more regularly
