Pros The beds were comfortable with nice linen. Shampoo and conditioner was provided . Upon arrival a cold cocktail was offered at check in . Room had smores kits included ( one kit for family is enough for one kid) front desk offered more kits for 5.00 each . The Safeway down the street had smores kits for 8.00, ( a box of gram crackers, large marshmallows bag, 8 large chocolate Hersey bars.) Sail club is walking distance for water rentals, room included 1 hour rental. Cons: One bed had broken legs making it shakey, called from desk to have fixed, no one came to fix, the tv did not work but was fixed within 20 minutes. Fridge in room had broken door, a table would have been nice on patio. No microwave which I needed for kids .

The price of the stay is not in line with the quality of the stay. The bed has a fold in the middle. There is a 4x6 beam holding it from deflecting. Its obvious management knows the poor condition of its bed. Its a glorified motel from the outside. Looks updated and modern but falls short of its fees.

Very nice property on the Lake. Quiet even though there were lots of people during our stay. Room was simple and can be clean. Our room’s bathroom seemed to have a water leak, but didn’t bother us. No bugs or mosquitoes despite being on the lake. Nice perk to have a free kayak or paddle boarding. However I couldn’t use the paddle board cuz they didn’t have any paddle available. Amalfi restaurant on site had good food… pricey but great! Overall, I’ll stay here again and will recommend this place for a stay in San Marcos or near San Diego.
