We enjoyed the door staff,something so simple like opening the door and greeting is something that sets hotels apart from others. The transportation from the hotel to our boat parked at the marina was a great amenity as well. One thing I would like to point out is the lackluster food at bullfrogs. The lodge really has everything you need except good food. The food just never seemed to be fresh. Having better dining options would prevent guest from leaving the property for a meal.

Loved the option to stay in a villa. Much more quiet, but still close to the lodge where the pool and restaurants are located. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Our room was cleaned to perfection on arrival and when house keeping came through. This is a hidden gem for sure. So many options for everyone from golf, to a decent sized arcade, large water park, many options for dining. We will likely be back in the future.

I was surprised when we arrived that the lobby was so hot. I know they are getting new A/C but they also had a dining room closed which meant there was just one dining room. It was also hot and the staff was overwhelmed. The food was good though and our waitress was great-just very slow service. The pool was heated which is not needed in 90 degrees so the pool wasn’t as “refreshing” as it could have been and there was not enough shade. Our room was cool and nice but the roach on the carpet was not a good sight to see when we woke up. At checkout we had discrepancies in our bill. It’s a shame that the restaurant added a tip when we purchased drinks without us knowing. They wouldn’t do anything for us except refund the “resort fee” (which we knew nothing about anyway) because we booked through Expedia. I had been to this resort several years ago and the service and quality is definitely not the same. 😢
