I absolutely love this place but there are a couple of improvements that can be made. The pool…read morecloses at 9pm, it would be really nice if they could make it 10pm and give that last hour to adults to swim. More often than not my room is missed certain terms, for instance 3 bottles of lotion instead of a. Shampoo and conditioner. Last visit my room was out of Kleenex, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and creamer packets. More often then not the pool has no towel's available, so plan accordingly. There are also no microwaves in the rooms. A little more attention to detail on the cleaning would be excellent. This visit the fridge still had the last persons butter in the fridge, the room before there was a six pack ring on the counter and a make up sponge on the floor. They also place people with dogs right beside people with no dogs when 9/10th of the resort is empty. The pub also closes very early. I continue to chose to stay here because it is remarkably beautiful, everything the grounds, the beach and even the buildings. I love the tongue and groove and the log beam feel. The staff are kind and generous. The rates are on par. And the balconies and room patios are excellent. The fireplaces are also a nice touch. The beds are comfy and the WiFi is fast. And the pool is big, warm, beautiful and clean. Thank you Oakwood for becoming my safe haven I look forward to my next visit

We had a family of 4 and were given 3 towels. When we asked for a 4th we were told they were short on towels. The indoor pool was very dirty. We were told it closes at 11pm then someone came in at 8pm and told everyone to leave because they were closing early.

Every time we come here, neighbors keep us up til 1am Went to the indoor pool yesterday. They much have dumped 500 gallons of chlorine in the pool. Eyes were on fire. Lot of people complaining and had to leave. Brought this up with the camp store. Problem not resolved. They couldn't open the doors as they were padlocked People drive like damn maniacs as well. They post speed limit signs of 5 mph. Staff always yell at campers to slow down but they can't even adhere to the signs. Always see staff driving their little golf carts at Mach 2. Smh Oh. One time I came here, there was literally shit everywhere on the men's bathroom. Like all over the floor If this is the type of riff raff this place attracts, I want out of this membership Move over OA, you can not compete with the beauty and respect that come with MI state parks

Only benefit was the pretty sunset. Not worth $300 a night.

Panelling, old carpet, older looking furniture, but very cozy. Our unit had two bedrooms, a tiny kitchenette area, a living room and dining room area that kind of blended together. The AC worked great and there was a cable Tv in the living room. It's got a cabin feel to it, but again, was very nice. What really made the place great was it's sitting right on the lake shore. Our unit was a short walk across the parking lot to the beach area. There was shuffle board, a fire pit, a playground and plenty of beach area and chairs available. There was even a couple wood swings and a cornhole game set up. The owners were super friendly. Each unit has a charcoal grill that we used. The room had dishes and silverware. A coffee maker but no filters. The beds were cozy, and the place was really quiet. Our unit was right near the main road and we didn't even hear the traffic. I would definitely stay here again, we wished we could of stayed a few days longer after only staying one day. The price was right too, I think our off season rate (after Labor Day) was only $75 a night.

Crystal Sands Beach resort was able to accommodate a girls weekend (17 girls) easily. The beach house apartments provided plenty of room, gorgeous views, full kitchen and an open floor plan. The Villa's are equipped with full kitchens, bedrooms, and open floor plans in general living areas. The Suite's were open floor plans with refrigerators and coffeemakers. The property and beach were well kept and grounds crews seemed to make regular rounds to ensure cleanliness. The resort is on the beach and has a gorgeous beach area. There were many families and children enjoying their swimming, kayaking, and bulldog sand castles. At night the resort set up chairs and multiple fire pits on the beach for guests and kept the wood coming and fires going! The resort also came equipped with regular housekeeping which included daily garbage changes, cleaning, and towel replacement. The resort is handicap accessible with an ADA Suite and handicap beach access. My travel companion is wheelchair bound and we had no problems getting around. The beach house steps were wide enough to get a wheelchair bound person up and down and all staff and owners were quick to offer assistance when we took the wheelchair and occupant of wheelchair up and down the steps. I've stayed in many (most) locations in that area on the beach and this is by far the best. We can't wait to go back for our annual girls weekend next year! I can't say enough about the location or the amazing staff/owners of the resort. They truly work hard (while making it appear effortless) to ensure everyone is having a great time. Thank you Sam and Nada!!!! It was truly a pleasure meeting you and thank you for such a great time and all that you did to make our 25th annual weekend perfect!

I am over the legal drinking age, but I look very young, when I approached the bar to ask what kind of beer they had - one of the bartenders gave me this snarky look and said "are you even allowed to drink? I need to see some ID" with so much attitude fair I get it - I look like i'm under 21, but I actually left my ID in my car and my fiancé had my keys so I went to go track him down somewhere else at the venue to get my ID. After retrieving my ID from my car my brother and my Fiancé decided to go with me so they could get drinks too. When we went back up to the bar my fiancé and my brother (who look almost as young as I do) got their drinks without being ID no problem. When I approached a different bartender was there and she started to get my beer no problem. The other bartender from earlier who ID me stopped her and said "oh no. She's not old enough to drink" with the same attitude, then I showed them my ID and proceeded to get my beer. I understand that I do look really young- & i'm used to being ID but there was no reason for this bartender to have an attitude with me twice
