We stayed two nights. The washrooms and showers were very clean and well kept. There were plenty of bbq's for even the busiest of times. Aside from bringing your own food they have everything you could possibly need. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Would definitely consider staying again.

We stayed for 3 nights through the week, so not on the weekend. Property was very quiet and nice and relaxing. The Villas are nice and the bed super comfortable housekeeping didnot visit at all. Cooking in the shared kitchen is easy and well stocked. WiFi doesn't work. Nice Property but not a return visit for us.

THIS IS AN ADULT RESORT!
Did not allowed to check in because I had a kid with me. My vacation was ruined just because I didnt read through all terms and conditions regarding age restriction in this resort. This is a major restriction that changes the whole plan and needed to be highlighted clearly. And of course, no refund is available !

Footprints Resort is a hybrid of a 1960's cabin getaway and a modern beach resort, which can be great or a disappointment, depending on expectations. I thought it was great, even though at the start of the season, to decompress and enjoy the peace and quiet. But if you expect all of the bells and whistles of the Mexican Riviera, this is unlikely to be for you.

Access to water toys was great. Some outdoor furniture impressive. Good access to cooking/eating spots. Communal kitchen gave access to lots of tools and big appliances. Unfortunately cleanliness was a huge challenge since tea towels and paper towels were used up after one meal and never replaced! Lake lot smaller than pictures. Not impressed with tents right in front of our expensive rooms, with loud partying until after 3 am. Tents and RV’s should have separate space. Enjoyed fire pits. Overall pleasant experience but overpriced! Please have signage for rooms such as “do not disturb” since we encountered somebody/staff coming out of our room which we had locked!

The private lake was priceless, we spent the day on the large dock. There is a nice white sandy beach as well. Ww met some great people who we would cook our meals with & dine together at an outdoor kitchen, which was well stocked. The staff gets the fire pits ready where we would spend our nights. We will be returning

Went to this resort over the Labor day weekend. Place is small, the lake is very small more like a pond to me. Water activities is not par with resort with similar price range. There's only a couple of watercraft you can avail and they all look worn out, not enough equipment's if property is fully booked. The lifejackets are old, I believe the resort owner should consider updating them if they continue to charge a hefty price for the amenities, there's a small hot tub but closed at that time due to covid. There are multiple kitchens, so cooking our meal was not a problem, they offer propane bbq grills as well. There's about 3 Bonfire area, at my stay we didn't get a chance to hang out there since it got filled out fast so we decided to stay in the common room where there's a acoustic guitar and a set of conga. My group played music there till pass midnight and then we had a very bad experienced with one of the staff. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. One of the guy staff went to the common room out of nowhere and just yelled at us to stop playing music and threatened to kick us out of the property as he is claiming people were complaining about the noise. First off, you can always, ASK NICELY to tone down or wrap up if there's a noise curfew. Second, you don't treat your paying guest like that, yelling at them and threatening them out your property. I would never come back here. For those you want to try, it may be for you but consider yourself brief.
