Arriving at Lake Geneva we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the place. In a fantastic setting on the shores of a lake just on the outskirts of the sleepy town of Lake Geneva you will find everything you will ever want from a relaxing holiday for the family. The resort has everything from a golf course to a health spa.

My wife and I stayed in the Holiday Inn suites and found them adequate although the carpet could be replaced. The self catering apartment had all the basics one should find in a self catering apartment including a washing machine and tumble dryer

The resort offers several on-site restaurants unfortunately we only had time to visit one of them, Grand Cafe .The buffet food was really good, fresh and tasty. We did however have to complain about the lack of service from the waitresses the first evening but the management were very apologetic and when we went to breakfast the next morning we had fantastic service from all the servers of note was Kelly who was very friendly and looked after us very well.

If looking for any off site entertainment we would recommend the Dancing Horses, just the other side of town. "www.thedancinghorses.com"

The former playboy club grounds are amazing; long winding roads, beautiful landscaping & great facilities.

The problem lies in the abilitty to find the darn thing! While the entrance to the grounds is right off the highway, there is absolutely no signage at the entrance indicating that there is a Holiday inn located on the premises. Once you drive around the grounds, the ONLY sign referring to a Hoiday Inn is located on the back of a sign near the back exit.

The directions that HI provided in their confirmation referred to Cottontail Trail, which is now called Grand Geneva Way, and the phone number in the confirmation email was for the national reservations desk!

After a long day and a long drive, we nearly killed the first staff person we saw!

I would definitely stay there again and we truly enjoyed our stay.....once we finally found our way!

We stayed for a week in September in building 5, after checking in at the Grand Geneva hotel lobby onsite. As per their instructions, we reviewed the list of accessories for the unit, made a long list of missing items, and within 24 hours we had everything from housekeeping. Amazing how much stuff the previous occupants must have done without.
We loved the balcony overlooking the golf course (hole #1, Highlands) and spent lots of time critiquing the golfers' abilities and helping to point out lost balls. My husband golfed three days and was given a half price discount because we are Orange Lake owners.
We ate in the unit most of the week and shopped at the Piggly Wiggly nearby, but treated ourselves to steak dinner at the Chophouse at the Grand Geneva hotel one evening. It was wonderful, with a terrific view of the hotel property, lake and fountain and excellent friendly service.

Because we were on the top floor, we did not experience much noise from other units. We had the one-bedroom deluxe and it was plenty large for the two of us. The other half of the lockout was occupied by a man and his toddler grandson and other than running footsteps by the child, we did not hear them through the linking door.

Lake Geneva is a cute little town and we walked around but did not go on the boat tours due to some rather windy conditions. We did drive all around the lake and could see that there were some magnificent homes that would be visible on the boat tours. Maybe next time.

We drove from Ontario and our evil GPS lady took us right through Chicago on a Saturday afternoon... on a road that was frantically busy, with expensive tolls, and took about an hour to cross the city. Coming home, we took a very distant highway route and still made better time with WAY less stress.

we did an exchange here for a few days in August. The Holiday Inn Club is on the grounds of the Grand Geneva Resort & you must check in at their main lobby. For us, the process was fast and easy. Our unit had a master bedroom & a pull out couch for our 2 boys ages 13 & 5. We had plenty of room, but we've stayed here before & know that we had the bigger side of a lock off. The smaller side that we stayed in last time was a little cramped so you might want to make sure you know which side you're getting. There is a nice pool & wading pool at the HI club, but you also have access to the indoor and outdoor pool at Grand Geneva. We enjoyed all the pools, the one at GG even had water Zumba on a Thursday afternoon. My husband golfed the Brute course and said it was a great course, but we found a nine hole course nearby that all 4 of us golfed for less than his outing. We also went horseback riding at Dan Patch stables which is on the grounds of the Grand Geneva. Don't let that fool you. I don't believe it is actually owned by the resort because it was rundown and not up to the standards of the rest of the place. They tell you you will be riding through rolling fields & the pictures are pretty, but it was a trail ride past the dumpsters of the waterpark lodge and through a small woods. We didn't eat at the restaurants, but we did our own cooking and the unit had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay here.
