The Abbey Resort

The room we were assigned didn't have a working fridge. Management changed our room to the first floor which was appreciated. We were by the outdoor pool which was beautiful. We spent 3 days in the pool.

We arrived around 10:00 pm. The building was hard to find in the dark. The map of the resort is so small you can't read it. Readable maps would be nice. The vending machine closest to the building was broken. And we had to walk to another building to get ice using a map we couldn't read. But it all ended up good. The checking in was a little rough for us first timers. A recommend check in before dark. Other than the few things that went wrong at first, we had a great time.

The newly updated, impeccably clean rooms are "lake house" themed, and are absolutely gorgeous. Excellent bathroom too, with all the hot water you could want. The temperature control in the room was perfect. I didn't have a chance to do anything but sleep and watch some TV, but it met all expectations in style.

I was a little disappointed that the WIFI was an unsecure network. I suppose a password locked one wouldn't have actually been much more secure, but the network being wide open worried me. I also had a little trouble figuring out how to access the inside of the building I was assigned to--I think during daylight it would have been no problem. Extra firm bed--not my favorite.

Friendly, fast check-in and checkout. Good directions to get to unit after checkin. Comfortable beds, nice tv, microwave, coffee machine and refrigerator in room. Clean, access to outdoor seating. Interior access through hallways to lobby area. Beautiful landscaping and walking path near boat harbor. Spa and pool available but did not use.

On busy sold out holiday weekend parking near unit was difficult in evening after dinner. Building was not locked for only key access after dark. Not close to Lake Geneva if shopping or dining there. Phone in room was not labeled with resort phone number or extensions. ( Just pressed 0 to reach front desk.)

Everything was convenient. The room size was fine, we were on the first floor, and wasn't aware that our room had a sliding glass door, so we were able to roam out there as well. The property was very clean. Access to cafe latte was a hit for our son daily. It reminded of a golf lodge I would go to with my parents back in the day. You can tell they are updating and maintaining the property.

Maybe its me, wasn't aware that you had to tell them you wanted your room cleaned daily. Once done, no issue.

Beautiful- we had 2 rooms, one booked w/ you, another thru Travelzoo. The resort was full and understaffed. Especially in housekeeping- waited many hours for rooms to become available. Lines of people in the same predicament- well after 5:00 they trickled out as “ available “. So the start was difficult- other room wasn’t handled properly from the start- so frustrating. But the resort was clean and offered a good meal at the upscale restaurant, mediocre at the other. I’d go back but the issue was in not having rooms available.

Amazing resort and perfect for family. Both indoor and outdoor pools include a hot tub which was perfect for a trip with my wife and 2-year-old daughter. All the pools were really good and the room was also great. It included a microwave oven and a fridge. Parking lot was very close to the room even though our room was very far from the front desk. 100% recommend this for a family trip. The breakfast buffet was amazing, though a it steep. The resort is very close to Fontana Beach and we loved it!

Breakfast was expensive and not included, even though it was really good. The restaurant was okay. We found it was better to find meals outside of the hotel. The spa was very expensive too ($30 a day if you want to use the steam room/sauna), and more than $150 for a massage. Resort was a bit far from downtown too, but not so much, you can enjoy Fontana Beach which was very close, and it's 15-20 minute away from the main Lake Geneva Attractions. Apart from that, everything was great.

This place was beyond what we expected, our room was fantastic, the spa was amazing, the pool area at the spa was very pleasing. We have really no complaints about the facility at all! We plan on coming back in the summer for another little get away. We were completely blown away by how nice and comfortable at this resort, it was our first time at a resort and you guys did not disappoint!.

Only thing I'd ask is to make sure during breakfast/brunch, waiters and waitresses let people know exactly what they are serving at that time considering they both entwine. We were still expecting to eat breakfast before we left from our fabulous get away, but was bamboozled by a $70 brunch bill when we just wanted the breakfast buffet. Its really the only let down but even then was still lovely.

Third year to stay there because the kids like the resort and familiarity. We like the physical plant, long halls and walking around the resort. Enjoy the harbor and location with the beach nearby and having access to the complimentary beach passes. There was a wonderful employee in the dining room (male) who got me hot water when I stopped in before the dining room closed and asked for that. Very customer friendly!

The drain didn't work well at all in our tub - that was extremely annoying

Our family enjoyed taking a break for a few days, to relax, not too far from Chicago, in the countryside, close to a beach and a small town with cafes, shops and restaurants. We chose The Abbey Resort because of its location and spa that you can access all day and its beautiful indoor pool. The pool is surrounded by large windows through which the sun comes through also giving an impression of bathing in the forest. There are 2 indoor restaurants with a nice choice of food which is great option during the winter. The Abbey has great outdoors for walks. or simply enjoying nature. It was a busy time of the year but it did not feel crowded. They are well organized.

Very well kept, clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable

I had never been there before and it was very confusing trying to find our room. We asked someone in housekeeping and they didn’t understand us , eventually we found our room. Called for basic necessities…toilet paper and creamer and they never brought it. Our phone was not connected in the room it was actually sitting on the balcony outside our room unconnected. Having a shuttle to lake Geneva would be nice it cost $4/hour to park there!!
