I have been going to the resort twice a year for the last three years. The staff and office help are very friendly. The rooms are always clean. There isn't really a whole lot to do other than swimming if you aren't a fisherman, but then again I love to swim. The rooms are always clean. I don't mind cleaning up after myself, kind of prefer the privacy. Don't really care for people to go through my things, even if it is housekeeping. The restaurant serves excellent food, and you do get full. Alot of places charge outrageous prices and you still barely get more than two bites. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to just get away from it all. It is very peaceful and overall a great place to stay. I don't have a boat or usually go out boating, but I know you can rent a boat to go out if you want to. They also have several bass tournaments and other activities throughout the year. I plan to try to keep up my twice a year stays for as long as I can.

Just got back from a stay at the Alhonna Resort. The place is very old, rooms were dirty, and had a musty odor to them. There is no maid service and when you need clean towels you have to catch housekeeping open and exchange them. They also require you to empty your own trash from the room when leaving. The lock on the front door was very shabby. Felt unsafe and afraid to leave anything in the room. Office personel was very unfriendly. The restuarant on the other hand was nice. Good food, nice size portions and the employees were very friendly. Will not stay here again!

There is a reason the approval rating is so low. We ignored it because we stayed there for years in the past and thought that people just wanted something more for kids. This is not the same place it used to be. If you want to stay at Alhona for some crazy reason, do it soon, I can’t see them being in business very much longer by the way they treat their guests. Make sure you check the dates and times and charges on your bill. We didn’t and they charged us different prices and refused to give us the deal they told us we could have. We had to leave one day earlier than we planned because they were going to charge us another day, our mistake. Then we went to check out 3 other resorts, (Alhona’s mistake!) We found that Alhona was not any cheaper and pales in comparison to every other place we checked out. We stayed the last night at Robins Resort, so much better. We also checked Kapilana which was another fantastic resort. I have pictures to of the dilapidated room, leaking faucet and we had a refrigerator that didn’t work. They gave us a key to another unit to use another fridg. and had to haul our food across the parking lot. The restaurant was closed, and you have to drive 20 minutes into Osage Beach to find most places to eat. The next morning (8:00 am) while the guys were out fishing, 2 grubby tatood covered men came into the unit unannounced to replace the fridg.(quite unnerving). Feel free to write me at [--]. I'll explain the scam they pulled on our bill.

Lahonna was a nice lakeside fishing resort with very nice, covered boat slips and a heated fishing dock. Our cabin had a covered porch with picnic table and a scenic view of the water and shore line. It’s an older property but not as old as some we have stayed in. Although it is an older property, it was very clean and very comfortable (Wood burning fireplace and a wood rack full of wood, cable TV and plenty of utensils). Price for the area was reasonable.

Our room was well "equipped" with a coffee maker, microwave, cable T.V. and a full size kitchen area. King bed was not brand new, but the sheets and blankets were clean and comfortable. Extra pillows and blanket in the closet were also clean and comfy. There were some spiders outside.

We had a grand time, caught lots of fish in the heated dock, complete with an AC outlet for electric knife and fish cleaning station. We had a nice dinner and awesome breakfast in the Restaurant, meet a lot of nice people, and really enjoyed our cabin (#2), the view and the fireplace. We enjoyed Lahonna immensely and will definitely be back.
