Excellent amenities, you don't need to leave the resort if you don't want to! The overall value of this place is amazing. Dined/played/boating all were amazing. The only negative feedback I would give is that the front desk staff seemed annoyed to check us in and out? It did not subtract from the enjoyment of my stay, just odd nonetheless.

Our room was dirty. Took over an hour to get us switched because no cleaning staff was available. Neither phone worked in the rooms. Was given no information where anything was except the closed bar/ dining area. Was told to drive 20 minutes to Grove, Oklahoma where everything was also closed except for a few fast food chains. Also no trash bags or coffee creamers in either room.
