This resort needs capital investment and better marketing. I really hope this resort survives because it is one of a very few big resorts left in the area, but it does have the feeling of a business in a spiral. Everywhere I looked, I could see how this place must have been vibrant and full of life with the convention center, gift shop, diner, bar and grill, large number of rooms, multiple pools, etc. Now most of these areas are either closed or in disrepair. Very sad. For the size of the resort, it is much too big for the current number of guests there. I just hope it gets remodeled vs sold to developers.

We were told there would be a continental breakfast- there was none. There was not even a microwave or mini fridge in the room. We could have gotten one for an upcharge for each per night. We had to park the boat in a mowed field, as boats and trailers were not allowed to park in the parking lot. The room initially smelled like bleach. After the first night it smelled horrible in our room. The sheets came off the bed each night. The little cafe on site was already closed for the season on August 1st. We had to drive into the nearest town for every meal. It was advertised as having boat access but we had to take the boat to a state park near by to get onto the water. Slips were supposed to be included but when we got there, they were $110 per night. Would not stay there again!

We enjoyed how large the whole property was. There was a lot to do and it wasn't overcrowded. Only bad thing is, there are courts and other activity area's available, but they don't have rackets, clubs etc to check out.

Good enough for a couple dudes.

Good enough to sleep at. Beds were very tired, decor is from 1992...but again, its a decent place to lay your head down for a few hours.

Okoboji had record rains this spring, and that caused some flooding into the vestibule for our hotel building. The smell was awful, and we had to hold our breath going in and out of the building. Apart from that, the rest of the stay was fine.

Pretty gross. No way that there have been any updates to this place since they won an award in 1997. Was staying with the rest of our team and it was probably our last.
