The resort has stunning natural scenery and offers a variety of outdoor activities directly from the property. While my room was clean and comfortable, the noise levels from neighboring rooms and outdoor entertainment could be disruptive. The dining options were enjoyable but a bit pricey. Overall, I appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and amenities, though some aspects could use improvement.

The resort offers a beautiful location surrounded by stunning natural scenery, but the accommodations and amenities are quite basic and lack some comforts. The shuttle service is a definite plus for getting around, but my experience with the staff could have been better. Overall, it's a decent stay if you're focused on outdoor activities rather than in-room comfort.

The hotel offers a picturesque setting near Denali National Park, with great potential once the construction is complete. The surroundings are beautiful, and the staff generally create a welcoming atmosphere. However, service can be slow, particularly at peak times, and some areas, like the rooms, are in need of updates. The dining options available are limited and rather pricey, which might not suit everyone's budget.

Rooms

I had a mixed experience at the resort. While the surroundings were breathtaking, and I appreciated the cleanliness and effort towards maintenance, the outdated rooms and high dining prices left something to be desired. The location was convenient for accessing Denali National Park, making it ideal for adventure seekers, but there were some frustrations with the staff's attitude and room configurations.
