I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with stunning lake views and a vibrant atmosphere. The service was exceptional, particularly from some amazing staff members who made our experience even better. The rooms were comfortable, but I wish there had been more dining options available. Overall, it felt like a great family-friendly getaway, but some dining experiences could definitely use improvement.
