On way to this resort way off the beaten path, we barely left I-81 when we lost the T-Mobile signal. That was the norm for probably 90% of the roads around. Also very disappointed that the duplex unit had no wi-fi! We are so used to having it for the last 20+ years of traveling that we were shocked. Wi-fi available at cost but resort manual stated it was slow and limited. Also had no wireless service. Had to drive 20 minutes away to get wireless signal.
Checking in was ok, with one exception - I was asked to fill out a form with name & address (which was provided via our RCI reservation), plus the usual car information. Then I was asked to fill out my credit card information, including cc #, cc name, exp date and code! I have NEVER been asked for this! Usually resort just runs a hold amount on my credit card. Now on paper they have all someone needs to take money or even steal my identity! I was told the info was shredded after we left but will monitor activity closely.
Unit was a duplex and surprisingly larger and better equipped than we thought. Huge living room/dining room combo with a pull down Murphy bed. Plus small bedroom & bathroom with small shower downstairs. A much larger loft bedroom and bathroom with a Jacuzzi & a Sauna!!!
I slept upstairs after the first night because we were used to our King bed and in the Queen bed we kept bumping into each other. Tried the Jacuzzi but two issues. One, the on/off switch was on other side of Sauna door about 5 feet from Jacuzzi! The tub had weak power and with the remote switch, you had to leave the tub to switch it off. This meant I had to turn the water on before I left so that the water displaced by my standing up was replaced so jets did not spray out of tub.
Took me awhile to get the sauna to work. No instructions, although the upstairs bedside table had instructions for 3 different alarm clocks, but none were present. Finally office told me of a reset button underneath the Sauna and that worked. Really enjoyed it, a little st a time.
Although the kitchen was well equipped, better than most, there was no blender (for our meal replacement protein shakes) and no hair dryer. I asked and was provided a hair dryer but no blender available.
Lots of activities around within 30-45 minutes so plenty to do. read more
