    poor maintenance
    stuffy room

    The air conditioning barely sufficed for the overly stuffy room!!! The thermal pool is in dire need of maintenance, looking abandoned and uninviting. Dated furniture and lack of privacy between units was a concern!!!

    spa bath
    lakeside walking path
    outdoor garden
    cozy bed

    The spa bath was an absolute treat after a long day, and the beautiful lakeside walking path made for lovely mornings. With a hot spring bath and a cozy outdoor garden area, there were plenty of ways to unwind and enjoy nature. The bed could be a bit cozier for those who like more space, but it didn't ruin the overall experience. 😊

    stunning view
    spacious room
    privacy issue
    heat discomfort
    loud environment

    The spacious room offered a stunning view, allowing for relaxation while enjoying the scenery. The firm bed and the handy kitchen amenities made the stay comfortable. the loud swimming area just outside impacted privacy, and the room felt quite hot, necessitating the air conditioning.

    clean studio
    friendly staff
    lake view

    the stay at clearwater was fantastic! the studio with lake view was spotless and had a gorgeous view of the lake. i loved the comfy king-size bed and the relaxing in-room spa. the staff were super friendly and helpful, making everything easy.

    would recommend, but the location is a bit far from the main attractions.

    The thermal heated floors were a game changer, and the stunning lake views from our ground floor room made our stay memorable.

    Lovely view and clean room with minor parking issues

    I recently stayed in a Family Apartment with Partial Beach View for one night, and I loved how clean and spacious the room was. The view of the lake was breathtaking, and the in-room spa was a nice touch. the parking spaces were quite narrow and could be a little challenging for some modern cars.
