Ellington at Wachesaw Plantation East

We really liked this place. Obviously things have changed since reviews dated 2007. Everything was well cared for, activities were interesting, the indoor pool and whirlpool were perfect temperature (not freezing and boiling like many places), the little deli had great sandwiches at reasonable price, and nearby (driving distances) restaurants are reasonable, and plentiful. We used their freebie entrance to state parks, and hiked a lot. This would be a great place for golfing--driving range and putting greens as well as 18 hole course, and the units were generous size. To our surprise we like this better than many places we've stayed in the north end of town.

We have stayed here twice and each time was a delight. The staff is friendly and they have a large jacuzzi that's to die for. The indoor pool is large and the outdoor pool is very adequate. We like to vacation in September as the kids are back in school and the beaches are sparsley populated. The occupants have free access to the state park beaches and you can walk for miles. Many fine restaurants are within easy driving distance and a large hospital is within walking distance. For the golfer it is heaven with many courses available in the area. We really love this place.

I have visited the resort 3 times and have not been disappointed.

I have visited this resort three times and have never been disappointed.

I visited the resort Christmas week. Upon checking in the areas of interest were not mentioned. I had a two bedroom unit and checked in on a Sat. The second bedroom had stains on the carpet, a chair was missing in the dining area and one was broken, dishes were missing from the cupboard. I called front desk and was told it would be addressed and it never was. Not enough activities for the children. I would not visit again.
