The expansion provides an added perk for golfers with the expansive Golf Suites. On the golf side, this continues to elevate our status as a premier golf destination.” The waiting lists of 150 to 200 people every weekend made us realize how much we needed new rooms, a high-end dining option and additional options for the family. Our demand and backlog of guests who wanted to get in on the weekends had become overwhelming. “This expansion is a fantastic addition for us,” says Tony Mancilla, general Manager of Island Resort & Casino, in a news release.
There will also be 34 rooms that can be converted into 17 family-style suites for people who want to bring children to the new waterpark and pool area. Guest room offerings include specialized Golf and Spa Suites featuring a luxury experience with hot tubs and a unique option of getting in-room massages. The new elegant and spacious rooms feature modern furnishings, decor and technology with views of the Sweetgrass golf course and Northern Michigan forests. The hotel features 138 guest rooms and suites, the Horizons Steakhouse, located on the top floor featuring some of the best views in the region, and the resort’s new family water attraction, Splash Island. The new hotel, which opened on New Year’s Eve, is connected to the south end of the current 11-story Palm Tower.
