Top Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Lanier Islands Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a villa. Beautiful view. Nice space. 100% of the staff was amazing. The buffet breakfast is probably the best I’ve ever had. Our room had a fireplace and balcony, making it very accommodating and very comfortable to just hang around. We rented a golf cart to cruise the island and to get back-and-forth between the villa and the main hotel. We also rented a pontoon boat to drive around on the lake. Great time. Can’t wait to go back."
