Hojo
Staff very friendly and laundry facility very handy. Could have done better with parking lot as it impeded our water view, which is what we purchased at this location for.

Perfect beachside spot
The staff at Sails on the Lake were top notch, everyone was so nice and helpful! We loved the location as it was right across from the public beach and super close to downtown shops and restaurants! We also loved the kitchen setups in the rooms to make a quick breakfast or dinner before our busy days! Would 100% recommend this resort to anyone traveling in the area!

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were spacious, with great amenities and a fantastic view. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy walking access to restaurants and stores. However, the air conditioning is located in the living room and struggles to cool one of the bedrooms, even with the door open. Additionally, one staff member was rude during checkout, which was disappointing.

Loved our stay at the sails on the lake! Room was very clean, it was warm, had everything we needed, awesome service from the lovely guy in reception, the view of the lake was beautiful to wake up to and a bonus that it is 10min walk to town. No complaints! 10/10! Would recommend 100 percent!
