| - My husband and I, along with everyone else at the resort this weekend, picked up the Travelzoo deal for a nice little staycation just a few miles from the house. We really enjoyed ourselves here. We really did feel like we were on vacation somewhere else.
Highlights:
1. The service was impeccable. Everyone from check-in, to the servers at the pool and the restaurants was friendly and prompt
2. The room was very nice and very clean. I was pleased with the size of the room, too. The bathroom was also very large and seemed updated.
3. The pools were fabulous. There were 3 different pool "areas" and I'm not sure if it was intended to be this way, but if it matters to you, the big main pool had the coolest water; the middle long, curved pool had the warmest water; and the lazy river was in between. We spent time at all three pools and the smallest middle pool was the most quiet. The lazy river got more and more crazy as the day went on - if you want to enjoy it and relax, get there early. The big pool as the more "party scene." This is where all the young and beautiful people hung out. They had a DJ on Saturday afternoon and it was CROWDED. So again, if you want a chair next to the pool and you want to be able to get in and out of it without having to ask people to move, get there early.
Minor bummers:
1. They seriously need to resurface the pool areas. The pavement is HOT. I mean, you will literally burn your feet it is so hot. You have to bring your shoes to the side of the pool and you can't sit there on the side without laying your towel down. It was really bad. That is probably the worst thing about the whole experience.
2. If you are a couple and you are hoping for a relaxing retreat, think again. This place is crawling with kids. That's fine if you're fine with that, but just warning anyone who wants a quiet, adult weekend - this is not where you will find it. By 11am, the lazy river wasn't even moving it was so crowded with large groups of kids splashing each other and blocking the flow.
3. Ask for a room with a view if you want one. We overlooked the spa. So nothing special, although our wing certainly seemed to be where they put all the couples, so it was very quiet and serene. But if you are looking for a view of the McDowells, ask for it.
Overall, I would definitely go back if I had a larger group and it wasn't just my husband and me, but I would wait until later in the summer when vacation isn't so new and exciting for families. We really enjoyed ourselves and though the resort was beautiful and top-notch, but we will probably try someplace a little more quiet before we come back.
