Beautiful location with lots of wildlife to see, and good food in the main restaurant. Expedia listing is inaccurate however, as many amenities listed were not available. Missing amenities: Game Room, Kids Club, Coffee Shop, Arcade, Lazy River, Mountain Biking, Supervized Children's Activities, Soundproofed Rooms, and the Zipline was broken. Additionally, spelunking and rock climbing are available in the area, but not at the property.

Wonderful staff and grounds. Need new beds.
Loved the convenience of pulling our car right to our room. The staff and the grounds are wonderful. The bed was probably the worst ever. We put anything we could underneath us for some padding. It was like cardboard. The restaurant is lovely. Our room was a luxury waterfront room. It was perfectly adequate I’d call it rustic, not luxury.

We loved our room overlooking the dam. The decor was modern and the room attractive and clean. The restaurant was also excellent and the site convenient to all the attractions we wished to visit including Cango caves. We would definitely choose to stay there again
