A beautiful and well-appointed resort in gorgeous surroundings. Beds were comfortable, basic toiletries provided, even a tiny puff sponge for showers! We only stayed one night but would have enjoyed a longer stay.

Clean and well stocked

The price was right and turned out to be a condo. The lower level of a duplex building amongst many others of the same design, surrounded by woods and golf fairways. Super clean and well stocked with what was needed.

Fairway Forest Resort

Things to note: The check-in office is 1.7 miles from the actual resort. The gym and some of the other amenities are not in the resort, but are across the street from the check-in office, so the photos listed are not necessarily from the resort grounds but across the street from the check-in at the community center (such as the gym/swimming pool/pretty bridge, etc). From where our room was in the resort, it was a 3.2 mile drive to the gym. You will also be charged a daily resort-use fee, whether you use the facilities or not. None of this is explained on the website, or on hotels.com.
