Check in was wonky. You can't park to check in unless you valet. They immediately shoe you away. Instead you have to park in a side lot and then walk in to check in. Not the greatest start. Additionally, we upgraded to a premium pool view. It was a big dirty roof and a corner of the pool view, though at least it wasn't a parking lot view.

Over priced for the accomadations. We had left privacy sign on door and housekeeping still came into our room and re-arranged our luggage. Staff was smoking (what's illegal in most states) indoors at end of our hallway, dispersed quickly after we noticed them. We paid up front for accomadations and still left with 1k in additional charges. Onsite property dinning would be conveinent if it tasted good and was quality we didn't find that at Rockwood resturant or Fish resturant. If I was able to re-do my reservations i'd stay elsewhere.

Loved my stay here. Booked 3 nights for my honeymoon and it was amazing. Beautiful resort. We had the special boat ride and it was wonderful. Staff was very helpful also. There’s a lot to do at the resort. Keep in mind that it comes with a daily fee of $45. The breakfast at rockwood grill was also fantastic.
