The Oaks Waterfront Resort at The Entrance has a lot of potential with a great view and location, but it's let down by its outdated decor and inadequate service. The cleanliness was hit or miss, and while it's a neat place, it definitely needs some renovations. The dining options are limited, and the car park is a baffling maze that could cause stress for families. Overall, you might want to consider other options if you're looking for a modern stay.
Rooms

The suite I stayed in was spacious with an amazing lake view, but the decor felt very dated and there was an unpleasant smell. It just wasn't worth the price I paid.

I spent a couple of days at this hotel and enjoyed the beautiful view over the water from my balcony, but the property is quite dated and could use some updates. The location is convenient for exploring the area, but the lack of maintenance really detracted from the experience. The staff was pleasant, but there were some significant issues with the amenities that made my stay less comfortable than it could have been.

The resort was situated in a beautiful spot, but unfortunately, it felt very run down and in need of serious updates. The staff were friendly, but the overall accommodations were disappointing, especially given the price. While the view was lovely from my room, I can't overlook the state of disrepair throughout the resort, including stains and broken fixtures. I had a mixed experience and wouldn't recommend it without some significant renovations.

The room itself was spacious, but the carpet and furniture were stained, and various amenities, like the washing machine and shower head, were not functioning properly. It didn't meet my expectations for the price I paid.

The hotel is in a prime location with stunning views and close to various attractions, but the maintenance and cleanliness of the rooms leave much to be desired. The parking situation is also frustrating, with exorbitant charges despite better free options nearby. While the staff did their best to assist, the overall experience was marred by issues.

The hotel's location is a major highlight, with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. However, the property is in dire need of renovations, as many areas are showing signs of age and wear. The parking situation is also quite problematic for larger vehicles, which is a bit of a letdown. Overall, while it has potential, some significant updates would greatly enhance the experience.
Rooms

The rooms offered beautiful views, but they felt quite run-down and not very inviting, especially on a hot day. I would rate them as needing improvement.

Facilities are average; the parking situation is a headache if you have a larger vehicle. They really need to rethink that layout.
