Great Restaurant Experience

“My family and I had lunch at the resort's new restaurant, Sunsets, and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. I ordered the walleye tacos, which paired perfectly with the wild rice pilaf. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, making it a meal to remember.” view full review

Perfect for Kids

7.2/10

During my stay, I appreciated the peaceful surroundings and well-kept facilities, but I experienced some significant issues that dampened my overall impression. The honeymoon suite was lovely and quiet, which I enjoyed, but the service did not meet expectations. While I could relax at the beach and enjoy some activities, there were notable shortcomings in terms of maintenance. 😕

I had a decent stay at Appeldoorn's Sunset Bay, with some really nice features, but a couple of issues kept it from being perfect. The rooms were cozy and quiet, but my dining experience fell short of expectations. Overall, it's a lovely spot, but I'd probably be cautious about the restaurant next time.
