While the rooms were nice; The service was poor. They were more interested in us upgrading our timeshare to Expos from weeks. After they got what they wanted, the communication was poor. I tried to leave a suggestion for improvement but was told I could leave a message on the manager's phone. I was not given a return call and there was no suggestion box. Two of the 4 pools were closed, this left the open pools crowded. The gym was closed. The mini golf area was unkept and unattended; this included the basketball courts and swings. Therefore, there were leaves everywhere and sigs of the Gazebo and swing starting to deteriorate. 

When we arrived at the unit, the roof was leaking. They found us another unit close by, however, we later discovered that there were no additional sheets or pillows. We had to drive back to the check in area at 12:45 am, because we were told that they could not deliver the extra bedding. 

The main entrance to Fairways and the secondary entrance is not well lit. You cannot see the driveway entrance into the exit. The entrance close to the zipline is the worst, there is absolutely no lighting and no reflectors to show where the road begins so it is hard to enter at night from the main road. I tried to leave a suggestion with the front desk that they should add reflectors to both sides of the driveway entrance or have some sort of lighting, however I was told I would receive an email from the resort. I did not. 

Nice Units Property maintenance need to be improved.

We were told the resort was under renovation, but the construction was not an issue.  Of the 600 units on property, only 300 are available for use.  140 are renovated and they are reserved for their owners. Everyone else gets stuck in the 160 units that are OLD and not maintained.  There was rotted wood all around the doorways, weeds in the walkways, the unit is damp and musty ....in our two bedroom, the two sliding glass doors in the bedrooms didn't slide correctly and couldn't be locked.  The safety chain on the front door was missing, the toilet ran all night long, the ice machine didn't work .... Only 2 pools are open, the rest are closed.  The golf course was decent, they had horsebacking riding and paintball that we didn't use ....as of  crafts and organized activities, they only stuff scheduled on Sat and Sun, nothing planned during the week.  We used a lot of points to go here for a 5 night stay and it was so bad, we left early. 

Extrememly disappointed, old units are awful

Be aware that many activities and facilities are not open at this time including for kids and that some of the units are unsafe for small children. Those 2 bedroom units with sleeping lofts have a very steep and narrow spiral staircase that is treacherous for anyone including toddlers and then at the top it does not have a railing connection to the balcony, leaving an open area a small child could easily fall through.  One of the twin beds up there is pushed against the low partial wall, again making a potential fall to the floor below very easy.  The other 2 bedroom units are safer but do not have twin beds and we were told there is no availability for youth beds or cribs.  Our daughter and her youngster had to sleep together in that full sized bed - not optimal for a good night's sleep.  Many buildings are heavily coated with mildew and the grounds around entrances are shabby and unkempt.  Other buildings are more attractive but from what we saw they all need attention.   However, the beds were comfortable in our unit and the living areas were clean and attractive. Two of the four pools were closed but the open ones at the activity center were very good and we enjoyed them.  The toddler pool there was also very good.  A shuttle bus is convenient - when running.  It became an issue that it did not run on Monday during our stay. The playground is very basic - a much better one exists in town not far away.  The adult horseback riding activity was very good. 

Not good for families with young children

Cottage not well maintained. Miniature golf was horrible. Staffing was not adequate to use amenities.

Go anywhere else.

Nicely equipped. We had a two bedroom which could actually sleep 6 due to 2 twins in a loft as well. Definitely under some revamping, and I was actually a bit disgusted by the presence of outdoor bugs inside on the stairs. Also, our guest room toilet was very tricky with flushing and could use some new plumbing. Otherwise, it was pretty.
The area is nice, there are some fun things to do around town and even directly nearby on sight. The outdoor pools were open and very nice. There are no water sports and the recreation area is only open certain times but not much to do there anyway. They do have some activities planned but only on weekends. During the week you should just plan on sight seeing. It is about an hour from the most frequented town where there are lots of things to do, but around the area itself there are multiple parks and activities as well.

Overall ok as long as you have things planned to do

No hot water throughout the unit, it was barely room temperature. I guess they assumed since there is no hot water, towels aren't needed so they didn't supply them. With the amount of resort fees, towels to dry yourself and hot water should be a given. 



Turn on the boiler

Nice resort. Could use some newer beds as they are a little on the hard side, but maybe that's just me. Mini golf course is nice, but they need to have some one blow it off in the morning during the fall.  

Great place to stay

The place is decent.  They do need to upgrade.   They have the basics.  The stairs to the main floor is a deterrent for us.   The unit was clean.  The grounds are beautiful, with the lakes. Easy to get to from the main highway.  It was quiet in the unit.

Fall trip to the mountains

It was a great place to get some rest. The golf course was a big attraction for golfers. It served our purpose, We got some rest and journeyed back home by car. I am sure that in the summer months the buzz would have been greater. 

Great Place To Relax

Condo was outdated, dirty, door and window broken, dirty carpets, very, the gym was disgusting 5 machines max and half of them were broken, exploring resorts salesperson were very aggressive salespersons, they are running a complete scam selling innocent people this programs, offering this awful packages, points etc. DONT BUY OR SIGN ANYTHING!!!
