I stayed Maddens for a conference this July. This resort is just plain old and needs updating. The rooms we stayed in near Wilson Bay side were old and smelly. They even had a horrible small 19 inch TV where the cable would not work. The staff was nice overall based on what you get for seasonal college kids. This... more

I wrote a review from last year in which I said I thought our hotel room was over-crowded and over-priced. Well, this year we stayed in a large lakeside room that was awesome! It cost more, but it was worth it. The kids (15 and 12) loved the beach toys (trampoline, rocker and climber). My husband and I golfed. We... more

This was a great trip all around, except maybe for my waistline. My fiance and I decided to head up north for a weekend in June for a 3 night stay.

The best part of our stay however was the staff and level of service they provided to each and every one of our family members. No effort was spared... more

Madden's is way over priced for what it is. We stayed in one of thier most updated rooms for our first Anniversary. We did a golf weekend where we "played and stayed" The bed's were extremly uncomfortable and the sheets felt like sand paper. The shower made a terrible screeching noise when the hot water was on. It made for... more

This will be our family's fourth stay over the 4th of July. The all inclusive resort has much to offer - in three years have yet to do everything! more

This is a wonderful Resort, on a wonderful Lake! This is where I will bring my family for years and years to come. They have a fantastic caring staff and amenities galore. Great golfing as well! more
