Beautiful property. Amenities provided in the resort fee were neat but I'm not sure if the cost is worth it if you don't utilize the amenities. So in other words, use them. The spring weather wasn't the brightest to use the paddle boards or kayaks. It didn't appear anybody was out there. So it's okay. The graham crackers in our smores kit were cracked. It would be helpful to have paper plates/bowls handy to keep it clean or even a little aluminum pan- you can melt the chocolate and use the cracked graham crackers to dip. The gym is a bit run down but was sufficient to get an indoor circuit in. Pickleball/tennis courts were clean and had no trouble getting the rentals/court reserved to play at the lodge. Same with the bicycles up front in the lobby or the basket of golf balls at the driving range- had no trouble enjoying those amenities. Main pools were nice and the towel dispenser was neat. I stayed in a Lake view room with balcony. There was a nice tea light candle provided on a table near the sliding door. I think some citronella oils would be nice to provide or have out on the balconies in tiki torches or something. Overall, a nice, comfortable stay. Good location, not far from shops or other restaurants/coffee shops or movie theater.

The only negative would be that all parking near my room had been blocked off with steel barriers. I had to park at the opposite end of the property and walk to my room. Not a big issue for me, but if family had been with me, we would have requested the ability to park closer to the room due to luggage.
