Big Rooms, Good Pool… Check-In Needed a GPS and Wifi is on vacation
Pros:

The swimming pool was good and well enjoyed. The restaurant was also good. Although the food choices were limited, the taste was nice. The overall place has a peaceful country club feel.

Cons:

The rooms are very old and not properly maintained. The toilet had a bad smell, probably because there was no exhaust fan or proper ventilation. The check-in experience was also disappointing. The official check-in time was 3:00 PM, and I arrived around 1:30 PM. Unlike many hotels that allow early check-in when rooms are available, this hotel required extra payment for early check-in.
Even after waiting until 3:00 PM, there was no one properly assisting at the reception until around 3:30 PM. One staff member in hotel uniform was smoking outside and just passed through the lobby without offering help. Only after I requested him directly, he assisted me with the check-in.

The family room was really big, with two beds on one side and another bed in the opposite corner. However, there was only one aircon, which was not enough for such a large room. The fan was closer to only one bed, so we all had to stay near that side to feel comfortable. The Wi-Fi was also really bad and needs serious improvement.

A value for money place to have a comfortable rest but you need to bear with the slightly worn down condition of the pla
Pros:

It has everything a good hotel/resort have for a comfortable place for you to recharge after the day of traveling.

Cons:

The room facilities are bad in good condition and some of the bathroom facilities are not functional.

Pros:

Checked in lodging after golfing..not required to run far.

Cons:

Staff required cash Deposit. Never mentioned how & when was it to be refunded. I checked out early @6.15 am..leaving room card on reception table as no-one in attendance. Despite ringing bell a few times.
Further, no fixed parking lots with instructions to park vehicle around the premises.

Beautiful, quiet spot, immaculate room - we were spoilt <3
Pros:

Ponderosa was quiet and nestled among nature, and much trees
Pool was routinely(?) closed each Monday which means...dont book Monday(??) not sure
Requires cashless for all additional costs (booking of courts, rental of rackets for pickleball, meals at all their eatery - quite inconvenient)

Cons:

Only cashless payments. Grab is the only way in or out (unless driving)
Golfer guests can be loud/rowdy.
Pool maintenance means you dont get the pool during some days (and they never tell you when, during booking)
