Unique Dome Experience

Staying in the dome was such a cool experience. The interior was more than I expected, featuring a nice bed and decent shower. I loved the unique layout, especially the roof allowing for stargazing at night. It added a magical touch to our stay! I would definitely recommend this for families looking for a fun getaway.

Adventurous Lake Activities

I had an amazing time enjoying the complimentary kayaks and paddleboards available at the resort. Paddling on the tranquil lake while surrounded by nature was a highlight of my stay. It's perfect for families looking to engage in fun, outdoor activities together!

Comfortable Shower Experience

The shower in our dome was surprisingly good! It provided ample space, and the water pressure was excellent, which made for a refreshing experience after a long day of exploring. I appreciated having that convenience during our stay.

Cozy Sleeping Arrangement

The bedroom in our dome was quite cozy! The bed was comfy, and I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, making it easy to relax and get a good night's rest. The soft bedding contributed to that comfort, and I fell asleep quickly under the stars visible through the dome roof.

This resort spa was a lovely retreat with clean and comfortable amenities, and a beautiful view of the lake that truly enhanced the experience. The staff made my stay enjoyable with their welcoming service. However, the dining options fell short of my expectations, especially at breakfast, and the pool area, while nice, could use a little more attention. Overall, it was a good value for a relaxing getaway.
