    This was my first time visiting the World Equestrian Center, and even though we were in a rush, I…read morewas so impressed. We stopped by last minute to take a few graduation photos of my niece before heading to her ceremony, and the grounds made the perfect backdrop. We didn't have much time to explore because we were trying to get to graduation, but everywhere we looked was beautiful. The property is well maintained, clean, and full of gorgeous photo opportunities.

As always, the World Equestrian Center itself was beautiful. The pool area was immaculate, the restrooms were clean and well stocked, and the overall facility lived up to the high standard we've come to expect. Unfortunately, our experience at the Horse to Water pool bar was disappointing. It was a slower day, with only a handful of other guests around, so the bar was far from busy. When we approached, another couple was also waiting. The four of us stood there for several minutes looking around because, from the customer side of the bar, all we could see were soda machines. The shelves and glass door refrigerators appeared empty, so we genuinely weren't sure if alcoholic beverages were even served there. When the bartender came over, she didn't greet us or smile, and her demeanor immediately made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. We greeted her first, despite the fact that we had been patiently waiting with smiles on our faces. The other guests asked what kinds of drinks were available, and her response was simply, "Regular drinks." The four of us looked at each other, confused, since there wasn't any visible alcohol behind the bar. My friend then asked if she could make a vodka seltzer with lime, and the bartender said yes before walking off to retrieve liquor bottles that were stored out of sight. To be clear, the drink itself was perfectly fine. Our disappointment had nothing to do with the quality of the beverage. It was entirely the customer service. A simple smile, friendly greeting, or willingness to answer questions would have made all the difference. For a destination that prides itself on being an award winning destination with exceptional amenities, the customer service at the Horse to Water pool bar fell well below expectations. During this particular visit, we left feeling more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests.

    I was here recently for a wedding reception during the summer. We parked in the playground parking…read morelot and walked over to the venue. The playground was cool; it had water features. When we walked in downstairs, there was a bar on the side and tables and chairs. We got a drink and went outside for the view of the lake. It was cool to see the seaplanes taking off. The receiption took place upstairs. The bar in the middle was a good location and the line never got too long. They encouraged holding on to our wine glasses if we wanted a refill. The wedding wasn't too large so there was room for tables on both sides and a dance floor. The couple also set up a screen to project video during dancing; there was room for all of it. The food buffet was delicious and refilled generously. It was in all a great experience. Only one terrifying thing worth mentioning was at the end of the night, it was dark outside and light inside so all of the mosquitoes were attacking the windows and anywhere there was light. The staff said these were the type of mosquito that only lives one day. Still terrifying because there were so many of them (biblical amounts) and when we walked outside, we had to go through them. This is nature and not the venue's fault but be aware!

    This is a beautiful event venue. The theme is antique. It's so gorgeous ! There's an amazing view…read moreof the lake because you are literally on the lake. It was so serene and made you appreciate nature. I recently worked at a wedding at this venue and I have only two complaints which makes it 4 stars instead of 5. 1. I was constantly up and down the stairs because dinner was upstairs and dancing was downstairs. 2. They also have specific rules about some of the antiques which can be difficult to comply with when you have people placing their wet cups on an antique table! It may be beneficial for them to maybe place some glass over the wood to preserve it better. Other than that the staff was helpful and made the event perfect for the bride and groom along with the wonderful coordinating staff, caterers, etc. 67/100 for the Review Challenge
