Decent Cottage, Just Okay Festival of Lights
Callaway Resort & Gardens的点评
点评:Based on some of these reviews, I was quite nervous that our trip was going to be a disaster and Callaway was going to be a dumpster. This was not the case. We stayed at a two bedroom cottage and it was perfectly fine. It showed some wear and tear, and had some dark stains in the tub drain, but that is typical for an older hotel or cabin. Beds were okay. I enjoyed our time at the cottage and especially liked that we could walk to the Robin Beach area where the "festival" was.
About the festival... I do agree with the other reviewers that the driving part was not great. I expected more lights. They could have done the same number of lights but condensed them to a smaller area and it would have been fine. But, driving 5 mph for over an hour to see what we saw was only fun because I love my family and friends and we were all in our car together with refreshments. If we had gotten on the trolley as originally planned, I probably would have been miserable being stuck out there for that long and waiting in a long line to get on. Since we were staying there, we inadvertently arrived from the wrong way and I believe this helped us skip some of the car rider line, but it still took forever. However, since we stayed overnight (2 nights), the next night we walked back to the "village" and checked out the market and the walk through lights. The market was crowded and nothing special. I could have shopped a bit more if I wasn't with my impatient kids and husband. The walk through lights were the highlight of the experience but I advise get there early! Also since we were staying, we had the chance to walk through the area before it got dark and it was a perfect spot for family photos!
While we were there we visited the lodge and ate at the restaurant/bar which was fine too, went to the butterfly sanctuary and discovery center which were both basically what I'd expect... nothing amazing but cool for the kids for an afternoon.
In all, we had a great time and everyone there was nice. We paid a lot for the cottage and then paid for the festival as well and I think it should have been included in our stay. The lights should be more lights less distance and the trolleys should just drive faster or have their own lane or something so they aren't holding up the cars that could get through the show much quicker considering the areas where there were no lights!
翻译:根据这些评论,我非常担心我们的旅行会是一场灾难,卡拉威会变成一个垃圾堆。但事实并非如此。我们住在一个两居室的小屋里,一切都很好。它有些磨损,浴缸排水管有一些深色污渍,但这对于较旧的酒店或小屋来说是很常见的。床还可以。我很享受在小屋的时光,尤其喜欢我们可以步行到罗宾海滩地区,那里有“节日”。
关于节日……我同意其他评论者的观点,开车的部分并不好。我期望有更多的灯光。他们本可以设置相同数量的灯光,但将它们压缩到一个较小的区域,这样就没问题了。但是,以每小时 5 英里的速度开车一个多小时去看我们所看到的东西只是因为我爱我的家人和朋友,我们都在车里,一起吃着点心。如果我们按照原计划上电车,我可能会很痛苦,因为被困在那里那么久,还要排很长的队才能上车。因为我们住在那里,所以我们无意中走错了方向,我相信这帮助我们避开了一些汽车乘客的排队,但还是花了很长时间。然而,因为我们住了一晚(2 晚),第二天晚上我们步行回到“村庄”,看看市场和步行穿过灯光。市场很拥挤,没什么特别的。如果我没有和我急躁的孩子和丈夫在一起,我本可以多买点东西。步行穿过灯光是这次体验的亮点,但我建议早点到那里!另外,因为我们住在那里,我们有机会在天黑之前穿过该地区,这是拍摄全家福的绝佳地点!
我们在那里参观了小屋,在餐厅/酒吧吃了饭,也不错,去了蝴蝶保护区和探索中心,这两个地方基本上都是我所期望的……没有什么特别的,但对孩子们来说很酷,可以度过一个下午。
总之,我们玩得很开心,那里的每个人都很好。我们为小屋付了很多钱,然后还为节日付了钱,我认为这应该包含在我们的住宿费中。灯光应该多一些,距离短一些,电车应该开得更快,或者有自己的车道,这样它们就不会阻碍那些可以更快通过演出的汽车,考虑到没有灯光的区域!
