The landscaping was lovely.The room access was terribly inconvenient.I had to bring luggage & several boxes up two flights of stairs which took many trips& did no favors to my back. (No elevators.) I was talked into an "hour, maybe 1 and 20 min at most" presentation which lasted 3 1/2 hours setting me way behind on my day.1 was given a 2 day stay for going, which I added to my stay; but had to check out at 10 on my already scheduled stay, and wait until 4 to check back in to my new room, which was below floor level so had to navigate two flights of stairs down this time. I was able to get help with my luggage from some very helpful workers, so it was a lot easier, at least. The rooms were large and accomodating, though the fans in the bathrooms sounded like they would fall out of the ceiling at any moment. Overall, I would have enjoyed my stay much more without all the moving hassles and

Unit was dated. Not well stocked with kitchen supplies. First coffee machine not working, second started to burn. Wifi/internet access is absolutely atrocious - cannot consistently permit e-mail let alone streaming or working remotely. Front desk staff very friendly but little they can seem to do about the poor maintenance and refusal of the resort leadership to address internet access/Wifi which has been atrocious for years according to an owner.

Service was terrible minus Leo at the front he was kind. Entire resort smells like it has a sewage problem. The “resort” offers you a service where you can take trolley or golf cart via request through text messaging or calling the front. My family who booked a total of 7 rooms for a family vacation spent the majority of Saturday standing by the trolley after they refused to give us golf cart service (even though it was provided the day before and told it was offered to us as guests) . Needless to say no one ever came to the trolley after 45 minutes of waiting, there is only ONE restaurant on site unlike the 3 it states online. And I got sick at dinner Saturday night celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday due to the restaurant smelling like backed up sewage. Also green sludge coming through the floorboards right next to our table. The waitress tried to say it was coming from the tv??? Crazy. They refused to move us to the dining room where we could have proper ventilation. Spent $150 on just the meal for us for (2 adults and 2 kids) I literally got up in the middle of dinner and had to run to the room to throw up and requesting a golf cart was not an option for me as already knew they would never show up. Sunday morning they argued w me via text service refusing to give us late check out even though one of the rooms with some of our party was booked as priority 1 since they are ORIGINAL owners here at Lawrence welk before the buyout and our party should’ve been treated acc

In bad need of a major renovation. Hyatt bought the property 2 years ago, but has done very little so far. Our phones didn’t work, wifi was very poor and came and went. The furniture was newer, but very dirty. We covered some of ours with sheets and towels, which we have never done before. The grill at the pool was not open and it was sitting spring break, etc. It is a lovely property and will be great again one day, but it will be awhile.

It was very nice stay overall. Beautiful scenery, rooms had a kitchen with stove, full size fridge, dishwasher, and stove. Staff was very friendly. Property has several pools and a nice fitness center. The only small complaints we had was wi-fi wasn’t great so connections were a little slow. My husband said when he went to the onsite Market there was a bad smell. In terms of parking there should be a little more parking in each section. When we got back late once we had to park in another area. Luckily it wasn’t too far away but even that section had minimal parking as well. Rooms are nice but a little dated. There was a large scratch along the wall in the kitchen as well. Overall very pleased.
