I wanted to leave a quick recap of our RPC stay now that we have returned to the frozen tundra that is Michigan.
We arrived early on Friday (2/8), around 11:30. Our room was not ready so we went to the lounge and waited. Our room ready text came at about 1:30. We went up to our room and our luggage was delivered right away. I didn’t think I would like the 5th floor, but came to really appreciate the peacefulness of the location. Housekeeping did a wonderful job and we received turndown service every night. The only complaint I had is that on the day we checked out (2/14) we had no COLD water. We noticed while showering that the water was much hotter then normal, but made the determination there was a problem when we brushed our teeth. Both faucets offered hot water. We did not have that the night before, so it was really strange. We left at 7 am, but I did call back to the resort to let them know. Over the course of our 6 nights, we made good use of the lounge offerings. We ate breakfast in the lounge every day. Two of the days Mickey waffles were served and one morning they served fresh made donuts. The rest of the offerings were pretty much the same every day. We were only there two days during mid-day service. One day they served corn chowder, and another a very good tomato Florentine soup. Evening apps were pretty varied over the 3 nights we were there during serving. Short ribs, sweet and sour chicken, pork belly, another skewered meat (I can’t recall what it was). Chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese (yum) on the kids side. There were very nice salads as well. The dessert category is where I think GF shines. There were so many items available....about twice as many as I have seen at other resorts recently. Overall, we had a very nice trip! Beautiful resort and very kind/helpful staff. The weather was very nice with just a little rain. I prefer liquid precip over the frozen kind, so all was good. We booked a Bounceback for December at Beach Club, but changed over to GF Sugarlaof. Not my favorite CL, but GF is my fave for Christmas...so a compromise. Too bad i have about 300 days to wait.
