Honey Creek Resort

Almost no seating in the lobby or outside of the restaurant area to enjoy spending time with big families (14 of us couldn’t spend any time all together). Sat at restaurant for 30 min no service. Kiddos were upset the pool closed 4 hours earlier than advertised. Rooms are out of date, different colored lighbulbs and cracked blinds, nonworking outlets etc. The beach needs a good cleaning and needs more than 6 chairs and 2 umbrellas. It really could be a lovely place but the lack of proper maintenance and staffing is gonna put this place out of business. Seems that they are trying to be too way many things, instead of having a few really good quality things to do. Staff that was there was friendly and kind and I’m sure none of this is their fault, they can’t do everything though, one guy said he was in charge of life guarding and front desk and pool that day. Management and owners need a wake up call.

We had family in a total of 3 rooms and 1 campsite. 7 Kids ages from 6 months to 11 years old. The rooms were decent sized but the bathrooms were small for a hotel. Door into the room and the bathroom door did not close or open quietly and both needed to be pushed open and shut with force. We never actually got the bathroom door to shut completely. Woke my toddler up in the middle of the night if someone would enter or exit the room. It definitely was not the cleanest hotel room I had been in. Paint chipped in multiple spots of the bathtub and bathroom door. The restaurant had very slow service. I don’t think it was due to the staff not doing their job but more so understaffed. The food was not good. I had fish and chips and the fish was horrible. The pizza was less than decent. We mostly ate the snacks we brought or cooked at the camp site one of our family members was staying at. The indoor water park was fun and served its purpose. The kids really enjoyed it. The beach was fun with stuff to do. I wish they had a foot washing station to rinse the sand off at and more beach chairs available. The park was awesome. The kids had fun playing there. There is a water fountain and a bathroom near the park. Would be convenient if sidewalk was added between campground and park. Campgrounds were spacious and very nice. Lots of room in between campsites with grassy area for kids and dogs to run. When the campsite was rented, we were told it was the last site and to get it booked if we were set on that date. There were 10 or less campsites here and many open so obviously it was a lie to get the site booked. The staff was all very nice. No complaints about the staff at all. Room service never came so we never got more towels. They seemed understaffed in every area. It was not crowded at all. We may go back as my kids enjoyed the pool but it is very very pricey for having no breakfast included and limited water park hours. If it was not as expensive or included breakfast, we would be way more likely to go as it is less than 2 hours from where we live. A couple people we know went right before and during the pandemic and they said updates such as playground and more cabins and were added. But the interior rooms need updates as well as breakfast included in stay. I’m also confused but the daily restart fee of $25 on top of the already high prices rooms.

food tasted like cardboard pillows were too soft, and service was horrendous toilet paper felt like dust shower pressure was good thought
