There are definitely a few things they could do as easy upkeep— like a lot of the buildings need a good pressure wash and paint, but it’s been great to see the improvements over the years! And the restaurants at the resort are high priced for the “vibe” (flys everywhere because they leave the doors wide open) and service isn’t the best, but the food is good. ##### Mykelti Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was very helpful.

The property and lake were gorgeous, the staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly. They had fantastic amenities! The condo was nice, very spacious, but a little run down. The screens were damaged, so the mosquitos came in at night, and I would recommend additional plates, silverware and perhaps salt/pepper in the units with full kitchens. I would definitely go back! ##### Diane Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 2 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Winter stay The resort is very nice.

Great food and service! It was very unfortunate that the pool was closed as it was one of the reasons I booked the resort. My teenage son and his friend loved the golf course and range! Beautiful surroundings! For the price, I would have appreciated a daily cleaning of the room, sheets and towels. ##### Maria Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is my 4th visit to Ruttgers. We stayed in a room in the Five Pines. Very basic. I liked the other rooms better. I think they are slowly upgrading the place. No hair dryer as it states or I would of brought my own. ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service Friendly staff. Great service. Place is in need of some upgrades, but theyve already begun the work. Some more evening/late night dining options would be nice. Very affordable though. I would definitely come back. Beautiful area! ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dorothy 24 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness I liked that the resort provided all sorts of activities, even ones I'd never heard of. I did not like that it's 9-hole golf course and outdoor swimming pool were closed for repairs. ##### Dorothy Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Anthony 2 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Yes, it’s an old cabin, functional, and has a decent lake view but it’s over priced like everything else on the property. It’s shoulder season and we were part of a wedding party so we shouldn’t be paying what seemed like normal rates, especially when check-in was changed to 5:00pm and half the facilities were closed or had limited hours. The resort needs some upgrades to match their charges. Its dark, dirty windows, sidewalks are uneven, cracked, and not well lit. Staff was very good. ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Apartments Glendale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glendale-Apartments.d8086-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [4 Star Hotels in Manila](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Manila-Hotels.s40-0-d178282.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [All-Inclusive Hotels in U.S. Virgin Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-US-Virgin-Islands-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d186-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Morland House Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Morland-House-Apartments.h18145157.Hotel-Information) > - [Myrion Beach Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Platanias-Hotels-Myrion-Beach-Resort.h41952149.Hotel-Information) > - [JA Beach Hotel, Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-JA-The-Resort-JA-Beach-Hotel.h22627.Hotel-Information) > - [Maddens On Gull Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brainerd-Hotels-Maddens-On-Gull-Lake.h1246256.Hotel-Information) > - [Family Modern 3 Bed Hot Tub House in Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Stanley-HOT-TUB-House-By-Jett-Accommodation.h92139919.Hotel-Information) > - [Mango Lagoon Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangkok-Hotels-Mango-Lagoon-Place.h8508397.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near The British Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-British-Museum-Hotels.0-l501529-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Westminster Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhyl-Hotels-Westminster-Hotel.h48954535.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Parks Brittany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brittany-Holiday-Parks.d6049400-aaHolidayParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Caravan Parks Holland-On-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holland-On-Sea-Caravan-Parks.d177953-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > - [Flights from Bandar Seri Begawan (BWN) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bwn/ktm/bandar-seri-begawan-to-kathmandu) ### Cars > - [Car hire in Daventry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Daventry.d4622.Car-Hire-Guide) > - [Enterprise Car Rentals In Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Bristol.d688-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > - [Things to do in Tashkent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tashkent.d3368.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > - [Paloma Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paloma-Park-Benalmadena.d6238307.Attraction) > - [Bingley Five Rise Locks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bingley-Five-Rise-Locks-Bingley.d553248621532494041.Attraction) > - [Fakarava Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fakarava.d1196.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > - [Visit Old Town Chania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Old-Town-Chania.dx553248635976396469) > - [Visit Keelung](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keelung.dx6047796) > - [Visit Aroeira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aroeira.dx6147040) ---
