This is our 7th stay here at Carlton Oaks. I love this place. It's conveniently located by the lakes which is why we come here usually. The staff is nice from the office to housekeeping to the restaurant staff. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool was excellent as well. My kids truly enjoyed it.
The only thing I am not too excited about is the carpet in the rooms. It's seems to be a bit worn and spotted and the lighting by the bathroom sink was dim. Other than that I love Carlton Oaks

Location was great, bed was very comfortable and we will stay there again.
The toilet in our room overflowed I was provided a plunger but after numerous attempts it still wouldn’t flush. Unfortunately it was after hours so nothing could be done. Thankfully it was our last evening there.

We love staying at this property as most of the time it is very quiet, the facilities are clean, and the amenities on site are fantastic. The bar and grill is always a highlight- excellent breakfast!
The beds were less comfortable than we are used to this stay. They were ultra firm, which is good for some, but not others. This is no fault of the resort, but our upstairs neighbor was extremely noisy - at one point, it sounded like they were going to come through the ceiling.

Cleanliness, and staff was very friendly.
The sliding door did not have a working lock, unable to secure the door from opening from the outside. Phone did not have any directory to call the office. Had a tough time turning the tv on in the living room.

not given any welcome info...like we have a bar/restaurant and the hours of operations. I would think this would be told to us when we checked in, but we had to find out on our own and it would have been nice to be informed instead of walking around trying to find someone to inform us of hours and what's offered..besides heres your room
