8.6/10

Our stay was quite pleasant overall. The resort's cleanliness and the spacious two-bedroom suite made it a comfortable choice for my niece's wedding. While the beach amenities were fantastic, I was a bit disappointed with the dining experience not matching the superb quality of everything else, especially given the high expectations. The location directly on Mirror Lake offered beautiful views but navigating around due to construction was frustrating at times.

Our stay at the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort was nothing short of magical. The views from our lakeside room were absolutely stunning, and the amenities provided a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The staff went above and beyond to make our visit special, with thoughtful touches that truly made us feel welcomed. However, the layout of the resort can be a bit confusing at first, especially being so spacious, and the dining options could use a few more variations.

Our stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable due to its picturesque views and ample opportunities for outdoor activities. While the room was cozy and offered a lovely lakeside view, our experience was slightly marred by some maintenance issues and inconsistent service. Ultimately, it was a decent value for the rate we paid, but there are certain aspects that need improvement.

Our stay at the Golden Arrow Resort was absolutely wonderful, with breathtaking views of Mirror Lake and incredibly accommodating staff. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch, and we particularly loved our room's relaxing atmosphere with amenities that made it feel luxurious. The only minor drawback was the size of the resort, as we sometimes got lost due to its layout, but that didn’t overshadow our fantastic experience. We can't wait to return!
