Tan-Tar-A Resort

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 26 Sep 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

We really did not want a resort - we were "up-graded" to this resort. It was quite a walk from our car to our room. Everything was very expensive so we spent very little time there outside of our room.

Positives: It was quiet - the maids did not come until later in the morning. Nice shower.

Negatives: All the amenities were very expensive.

We were only there for one night and definitely would of liked to stay longer. We did not have time to enjoy all of the offerings of this hotel. The bowling was fun for my 9 year old.

Positives: The free outdoor pool had a water slide.

Negatives: We did not like the food at Burger king

I love this place, it is a great place to take the family or just for some adult time. Lots of things to see and do as a family or as a weekend getaway for the adults.

Positives: Great value and location.

Negatives: N/A

The resort is located in a nice area and does have some very nice amenities such as the indoor water park which is very family friendly. The staff is very friendly and maintenance responded immediately to an issue with the toilet. We got bumped from the Resort Complex to the Estates Complex which at first I thought would be nice and romantic, but these complexes are in need of an updating.

Positives: The room had a balcony with a view of the lake.

Negatives: The walls were paper thin and we could hear conversations from the room next to us.

Beautiful resort, very friendly staff. Hotel price is reasonable for the amenities offered. Food was overpriced and poor quality.

Positives: Beautiful resort. Very friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

Negatives: The food was not very good and expensive. Expected much better quality for that price.

What a wonderful resort. I was very pleased. So much to enjoy. Our room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the lake. The pool was so much fun. We sat on the lakefront and watched the sunset. We will definitely stay here again.

Positives: This hotel has it all.

Negatives: Room was a little dated, but comfortable beds.

It is a beautiful resort facility. You must be prepared to walk up and down hills and steps to reach many destinations. The restaurants are not open between 2 and 5, highly inconvenient for the schedule we needed to keep. The indoor pool was large and clean, though half the jets did not work on the hot tub.

Positives: Hotel room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Located in scenic area.

Negatives: Could not park within reasonable walking distance to room. Restaurants open only for certain time periods.

Negatives: It was big and a little hard to figure out the map.

The hotel is in a beautiful area. It is close to shopping as well as the lake. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely go back.

Positives: The pool and hot tub were wonderful!

Negatives: Our a/c didn't seem to be working properly. I did not tell the hotel about it.

I've stayed at Tan-Tar - A several times before. Usually stayed in the Estates. This was our first time in the hotel. It was kept clean and the beds were comfortable. Still needed a little updating, but all in all, for a Hotel, it was very nice. The staff was great! The only complaint I had besides the cost of food and drink was, that the pools were pretty dirty. The wading pool was kind of dirt.

Positives: I thought the staff was great! And over all it was good experience.

Negatives: I thought the food, room service and drinks were over priced. The pools needed serious cleaning.

Hotel is fine - the room in the estates was worn - needs updating.

Positives: The grounds are beautiful.

Negatives: Rooms are getting worn.

My husband requested champagne and strawberries. They brought it up even though they don't usually do that. The thing that was bad was the cruise boat was closed until the next weekend. Summer wasn't over but the hotel acted like it was. The wave runners were way overpriced for rentals. You couldn't drive the wave runners that far either. The pools closed too early at night as well. Bring your walking shoes because the resort sits on hills!

Positives: Staff was very friendly, pool was very clean, and great view of the lake.

Negatives: Attractions were too expensive and nothing was open due to season even though it was before labor day.

We did not know what to expect but when we drove up to the main lodge, wow! Great pools and fun stuff to do, great food at the restaurants, we really had a good time.

Positives: Amazing spaces, so much to see and do. We enjoyed every minute.

Negatives: Nothing!

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 13 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

We really enjoyed the "extras" at the horseback riding, restaurants, boating, fishing, etc. It was very convenient and fun. My only complaint about anything was that the quality of the room was far from luxury, if you would have taken away all of the amenities of the resort, I would have been very disappointed.

Positives: There was so much to do right there, we really enjoyed the convenience.

Negatives: Our room was very worn, looking and some parts were not clean.

We were fairly pleased with our stay at this hotel in this location, but I am a big stickler on top-notch service and I was not happy with the way the hotel staff handled the problem with our room. They might need to review their policy on customer satisfaction as utmost goal.

Positives: Enjoyed the dining facilities.

Negatives: We had a problem with our room and I do not believe they handled our complaint satisfactorily.

Overall I enjoyed the resort, however this was my and my husbands anniversary and we where looking forward to taking a complimentary photo there, but the hours were not very good.

Positives: All of the amenities, as well as the things this resort had to offer.

Negatives: The portrait studio hours could have been better.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 10 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

The location was beautiful. The staff was helpful and polite. It was an excellent resort for children. The rooms could use some updating.

Positives: Location and amenities.

Negatives: Restaurant pricing - no continental breakfast.

We're very familiar with this hotel. We've been going there for forty years. At check in they didn't want to give us our room. They said hotwire guarantees a price, not a room. We became upset and the manger came on scene and provided us with a room. We forgot our confirmation number. It started out as a bad experience and I was upset most of the night.

Positives: Convenience to lake.

Negatives: At check in they were rude.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 03 Jun 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Good personnel and clean, fun environment would recommend this to others.

Positives: Good personnel and really clean.

Negatives: All pretty much good.
