My wife and I along with a few friends decided to stayed at Moonies Resort while spoonbill snagging in April 2019. My wife and I arrived there just before 9pm. Being my first time at Moonies, I didn't know where to check in. I wound up going to a couple different doors before I found the bar where I met three people. These were the extremely friendly staff of Moonies, winding down and getting things ready for the influx of people arriving for the weekend. One of them was the owner, Mike, and the other two were his employees who served as the cook, bartender, and maids.
The owner Mike could quickly become a close friend of mine, a real friendly sincere guy, and fun to talk with. I would say the owner may need to hire someone a little better at record keeping, this includes recording sales, it would be my guess they're losing a lot of money from mismanagement. Although very nice people, his employees did not major in business, hotel management, or culinary arts. I didn't personally eat there, but my group did and they didn't like what they had, and we're not picky people. There was no tracking of drinks sold at the bar while we were there, on two nights, we had to help the barmaid, or was she the cook, figure out our own tabs. There is no telling how much is lost here, but a quick audit might find a problem.
Rooms were okay, just keep in mind, rooms cost $65 a night, and its not the Holiday Inn. Its for people wanting access to the lake, and there are plenty of boat slips to park your boat whiles there. Ceiling fan didn't work in my room, there was no TV, there was WiFi, but unless you talked to the staff, the password wasn't posted in the rooms. There were mismatched dishes, one coffee cup, some silverware, and one headboard on one of the two mismatched queen sized beds. Sheets and blanket appeared to be clean, as was the shower and toilet. Wasn't bad, but could have been better. With proper staff, income would allow for upgrades.
I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great time Mike. read more
