Adventure Suites

Have you ever been?!

We love it here.  The staff is amazing - friendly and very helpful.  The rooms are great - clean and perfect.  And best of all, they allow dogs.  Not just little under 50 pound dogs, but our gorgeous 100+ pound Selphie was welcomed with open arms!

We have stayed at the hotel 3 times now.  The experience just keeps getting better.  We have stayed in three rooms so far:  The Jungle, The Cave and The Treehouse.

The backyard

The very first room we stayed in was The Jungle.  This one I think is my favorite.  They each have wonderful points, but the shower in this room is probably the best thing I have ever experienced.  I also really enjoyed the shooting stars while relaxing in the hot tub.  The back doors are GORGEOUS and open to your own little porch over looking the beautiful back yard.  The views are breathtaking and also include the great Elephant Family that Adventure suites has out back.

Moving back in the room, it has a round king bed - not my favorite but it was comfortable.  It also has a breakfast bar with fun animal butt stools.  There is a black-lit "Gorilla Villa" that Stinks hung out in, but he was still young and not as rambunctious when we stayed in this room so it was a perfect size for him.  (Now that he is older I would have to choose one of the other two for him due to the many exploration spots - but that is ok things are allowed to be all about Stinks!!)
I mentioned it earlier but the SHOWER in this room is the best!  It has three shower heads - one on the left, one on the right and one directly above you - in a marble enclosed shower.  I think in the two days we were in this room I took 5 showers!
The hot tub was sunken into the decor - a nice touch in my opinion and there are many "jungle" animal statues spotted about the room.  My favorite decorative piece in this room is the branch light over the bar.  If I ever have a bar I want a light EXACTLY like that one!

The second time we stayed in The Cave.  Stinks LOVED this room.  There are two cave off-shoots for exploring in addition to the many stalactites and animals.  The cave off-shoots even have windows that open into the main cavern.

The Cave also has a hot tub (versus a whirlpool - each room at Adventure suites has one or the other), yet it wasn't as incorporated in the room design as in the jungle.  They did paint the walls to make it seem as if the section where the hot tub stood was underwater though.  This room also had an interesting shower - a waterfall.  Though it was nice, it wasn't anything compared to the multiple heads of the jungle.  The bathroom door, on the other hand, was a masterpiece in an of itself.

The Cave has a loft that contains a king bed and the two off-shoot caves are padded for kids to sleep.
We stayed in The Cave during the summer months so we didn't get to experience the heated floors or gas fireplace, but it does have those amenities as well!  All in all the Cave has some wonderful eye candy.  Unlike the Jungle, however, the room opens to the front side of the hotel so it lacks the breathtaking views and private porch.



Our last visit brought us to the Treehouse.  Stinks loves this as well, though he had to warm up to the idea.  He was so taken with the Cave that he was insisting that was where we would be staying.  Unlike the Jungle and Cave, the Treehouse is home to a whirlpool bath on the "Front Porch".  I was thinking this would take away from the room however Stinks spent a good 40 minutes "swimming" in the bath so I guess it was still wonderful.
The Treehouse is a visual feast.  There is a giant hollowed out tree that "holds up" the house portion of the room.  Inside the tree there is a small picnic table and kid sized chairs.  Stinks insisted on having all of his meals "picnic style" inside the tree.  On the outside of the tree there is the "front yard" which has a couple of lounge chairs and a carousel horse.  I don't know where the horse fits in to a "treehouse" but it was fun so we will go with it.
The house itself contains a king bedroom with a sticker plastered ceiling and a fun license plate collection.  There is a cool bridge that brings you over to Mr Squirrel's Nut Hut which Stinks called his room.  It is a padded room with a sky light - perfect for a three year old boy!
The bathroom in the Treehouse isn't as exciting as the other two rooms, in my opinion.  It did have a gorgeous hand crafted glass sink (local) and a fun glass block wall for the shower.  The shower itself had to jets about mid level that you could switch on, but they weren't super impressive to me.  Now the DOOR to the bathroom was another thing.  Like the Cave, the bathroom door was imported.  It was one of those multiple doors that have two smaller doors inside the large main door.  Stinks loved that!

The hill in the backyard is PERFECT for rolling!

All in all we have always been very happy with our Adventure Suites stays.  There is a nice fireplace out back for good weather as well as a grand fireplace in the lobby for bad weather.  They have a pool table if you are so inclined and their movie selection rivals ours!  They supply popcorn and cookies in the evening and a breakfast in the mornings that consists of waffles, eggs, sausage, bagels, cereal, muffins, fruit etc.  I will agree that they are a little on the pricey side, however where else can you spend that and get an experience such as these?!  If you are just looking for a room to lay your head then this isn't the place for you.  If, however, you are looking for an experience that your child will talk about for years I strongly suggest you check them out!
