This hotel boasts breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and has a delightful restaurant experience. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms, as well as the engaging family-friendly atmosphere, making it a good choice for a getaway. However, the beach conditions nearby are rocky and not ideal for swimming access, and the dining options could use a greater selection, especially in terms of draft drinks.

My stay at the hotel had some wonderful aspects, such as the amazing views of Lake Michigan and the comfortable rooms. However, the check-in process was frustratingly slow, and the service at the restaurant did not meet my expectations. While the place has potential, it needs better management and more attention to detail.

The resort has a stunning beachfront location, perfect for those who enjoy natural settings. While the indoor pool and recreational activities were a big hit, the challenges with room cleanliness and the lack of adequate attention during events were disappointing. Overall, it’s a great spot for families and those looking for activities, but some improvements are definitely needed in service and room upkeep.
