Great place stay for days not airport overnight

First off this hotel is in the middle of no mans land. We drove forever trying to find it. Now we needed a one night stay for an airport transfer next morning bad idea! The place itself looked amazing if you were to go stay there for a few days and enjoy the activities. We got there late (not their fault) and were not close to the airport. Bad decision on my part. Staff was super sweet and understanding of my issues.

Disliked: Amenities
Sadly, upon our arrival we were disappointed to discover that there are NO dining facilities available on the premises! For lunch or dinner we were expected to drive out of the camp and try and find a restaurant.The industrial /rural area in the vacinity . did not seem condusive to a family type of restaurant. The resort management could not give a solution and agreed that a cancellation of our booking was the best solution.
