  • Crafted Italia serves pizza and garden-view seating; there’s also a coffee shop/cafe for lighter fare.
  • A bar/lounge and poolside bar serve drinks; to-go breakfast is available for a surcharge.

Pools, beach & signature amenity

Abbey Resort and Avani Spa – Pools, beach & signature amenity

  • Avani Spa includes a private adults-only Atrium pool (16+), whirlpool, steam and salt rooms.

Abbey is a clear choice for families and spa seekers who want both pools and lake access.

Lodge Geneva National – Pools, beach & signature amenity

  • Indoor pool and an outdoor seasonal pool (pool sun loungers and a poolside bar are available).
  • Property lists a fence around pool and pool cabanas (surcharge) and accessible pool access features.
  • Lake access is nearby, but the property emphasizes golf and outdoor activities over a marina or harbor.
