Always enjoy staying there
Pros:

Hot pools, food restaurants, outlook from room

Cons:

The rooms appeared to need touch ups and maintenance. I didn’t really think they presented to the standard that I would expect for the price.

Lovely place to stay, exceptional facilities and setup.
Pros:

What an amazing place, absolutely lovely. Our apartment was well set up, very clean, and had an amazing view of the mountains. Loved it! The pool area was really well set up too, 3 X pools and 6 X spa's with the mountains in the background - nothing quite like it was really beautiful and a great way to spend an afternoon.

Séjour ok mais sans aucun charme.
Pros:

Chambres spacieuses, très fonctionnelles. Nous n'avons pas pu profiter de la piscine qui a l'air très agréable. Parking juste au pied de la chambre. Literie confortable.

Cons:

Pas de couche, juste une baignoire avec paroi, dommage. La wifi était très lente. On est loin du lac, du centre ville, du coup aucune vue, aucun panorama. Nous avions une chambré communicante et du coup on entendait bien nos voisins pas cette porte.

Lovely resort at a respectable distance from the lake
Pros:

Clean great looking resort with amazing facilities such as pool hot tub and gym. The breakfast option looked good but did not go for it in the end.

Cons:

The wifi was non existent - for a 4 star resort that is not acceptable.
Also facilities such as the gym closed early at 9 pm. Location is 7 minutes from the lake which is dair enough - that is the decision you take going there. Quite a few busloads from tours
