No hot water in our building for three days! They said they were setting up a system for morning showers in the other building but when I went to the desk at 7am to get the key for the shower room the clerk had no idea what I was talking about. Typical for the property. Lots of 'deferred maintenance' and poorly trained staff. They make their money from having a really great location.

If you want good service, don’t stay here. We were actually told by the cleaning crew when we asked if they were coming into our room next, “you clean your own room”. Dining options were very limited. We added our name to the pier restaurant and were told they would text us when the table was ready for the 1.5 hour wait, no text. Tried sidelines, very limited menu and they were out of a bunch of items. No coffee in the lobby one day, another day no cream for the coffee. Limited seating at pool and only about 20 chairs and 3 cabanas to rent on the beach. The s’mores were a nice surprise. Dog friendly which was nice but dogs were on the outdoor patio cushion furniture so if you are ok with dog hair on clothes, you would be fine. Room was dated, but clean when we arrived. Balcony was nice to have.

The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Having a s’mores kit was a nice touch, if you could find space at a fire pit. The room was clean and remodeled. The chain to the door was ripping off the wall and we didn’t have a do not disturb sign, so housekeeping came in. We stayed in one of the buildings near the beach and the music from the speakers at the Tiki bar was extremely loud, every day from 2p-6p. There’s also a tented area for receptions that had music till 10pm. Even with the sliding glass door closed the loudness could be heard, not very relaxing. Stay in a building closer to the front if you don’t want a nightclub vibe in your room. There weren’t any foot or regular showers near the beach or pool area so sand and dirt was brought to the pool and room. The pool is not heated, making it uncomfortable. There’s no cafe with breakfast items and no room service as advertised. Very conveniently located with a Safeway across the street. Having a marina where you can rent paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, and boats is very nice convenience. Would stay again in the summertime in a room away from the lake.

We had a great time and loved the whole place. The only problem was whenever I had a question or I needed anything like a pillow or towels I felt ignored. It was hard to find a cleaning lady and we asked to have our room cleaned and it was only cleaned 2 out of three days after making a fuss and then it was only a partial clean up. The other problem is none of the people except the front desk spoke english so it was difficult to communicate to anyone. Other than that we enjoyed your place very much and hope to get back again this summer.

The building and parking lot were old and tattered. Room was ok. The property location and beach access was amazing with a tiki bar on site that was fun. The partial lake view from our room did not disappoint. While there was a wedding outside our room everything was shut down at 10 pm and it was peaceful.

Having a beach right outside my door was amazing. I had a partial lake view which allowed me to have a perfect view of the sunset from my balcony. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient. However, if you want to sit outside the room and enjoy a quiet evening, I advise asking for a room as far away as possible from the Tiki Bar. It was so loud that any peace and quiet in the evenings was impossible. All in all, I would recommend a stay here because of the affordability and location. I will stay here again.

Great location, horrible pillows!

Great location. This place could be a solid 5 star resort, but there were several issues. Luckily all can be easily fixed if the resort is interested in making their guests happy and getting their rating up. Issues were: 1) pillows were horrible! Felt like old style feather pillows and seemed puffy enough. But as soon as your head laid on them they compressed to hard flat stones. Miserable night's sleep for both of us. Buy at least 2 good pillows per room! 2) Clock alarm was left on and woke us early in the morning. Absolutely unacceptable! Cleaning crew's #1 priority should be to make sure it is off! 3) No night light or dimmable switches so guests can navigate in the middle of the night without getting blinded by a full light. You can buy LED night lights for $1 each. 4) The toilet was installed at an angle so the wall was right where your foot should go. Reinstall it square with the walls.

Not good for relaxing in quiete.

Soo small and seems to be the public beach part where all pet owners go. I love animals but not everyone cleans up after them well and they were everywhere. Omg! You can hear all the footsteps upstairs. Room is freakin cramped. Bed very cheap. Idk why these places don't do better with beds.

Great location. Brought our bikes to get around. While beach goers are frustrated looking for parking, we could walk from our room which was awesome. Safeway and CVS are walking distance. 1.5 mile from Heavenly Village. Our rooms weren’t checked on by the staff daily, but every other day. Overall, I would stay there again.

Had a great view of the beach but if your plan is to rest and nap this room might not be for you. The music from the DJ by the tiki bar plays for a few hours. Great music too! But definitely can hinder your nap time.
