Just spent a week at this resort. We had a one bedroom unit. The location is fantastic...right in the middle of the Heavenly Resort area....two blocks to the casino and a few blocks to the lake (albeit a $25.00 per person charge). This was a great base for hiking (must go to Emerald Bay!) and all other activities. The music and bands at night in Heavenly Village were great. Just walk right out your door and you are in the middle of everything. The whole area is very crowded on the weekends. The only problem is parking....you must Valet Park for $32 a day (however, if you trade in or are an owner, the fee is waived). Just walk through Heavenly Village to get to Ralley's Supermarket. There you find everything you need for food, drinks, etc. The workers at the resort were really very nice. I honestly can't think of a thing that was negative.

Our visit was FABULOUS! We each had our own rooms. 2 regular rooms with our own beds and kitchenets and we had 1 big room with full kitchen, balcony and sitting area. This is the room we would meet up in and make plans. The Bell staff is 5 star! Helpful, funny and thoughtful! They were there for us for anything we needed. Had an issue with a fridge and engineering had it fixed within 45 minutes! Close to everything, pretty quiet, Bartenders are amazing and Happy Hour was great! Close to beaches, easy access. Parking is a little challenging if after 5pm... Recommend 1. Make a reservation 2. If you go during busy season be patient 3. Tip your servers of all faucets 4. Look around your room, there are extra towels, blankets and more. Great Trip, Brilliant staffing! We will be back!

We stayed at the Americana Village during September and were booked in for one night. Check in was swift and we were informed where our room was. We were quite surprised at the room, it was very comfortable and would have been nice to stay longer. Unfortunately we were on a tight schedule where accommodation was already booked for our tour of Northern California and Oregon. The room was well equipped with a tv in the lounge and also one in the bedroom area. It also had a kitchen and a good sized bathroom. There were several restaurants close by and also bars. A small breakfast was provided too.

This resort was the fresh breath of air my family member and I needed on our long trip from the East Coast. After a not-so-good hotel stays at another hotel the night before Forest Suites offered quite a few pleasant surprises. The first was when we checked in they had upgraded us to a two-bedroom suite without any additional cost to us. The Room was just amazing my family member and I each had our own bedroom and bathroom there was also a living room and a kitchen with a refrigerator. Outside there was a pool and a Hot Tub and an outdoor fire pit. The Resort was just a few minute walk to the Heavenly Village a great little touristy stop with shops and lots of restaurants there is something for everyone to enjoy. My family member and I stayed there for two nights and I wish we could have stayed longer. What really topped off the experience for me was finding a welcome gift of slippers waiting for me in my bedroom from the Forest Suites Resorts.

It's close to the lake and relatively quiet. The refrigerator is a bit noisy at night, so I got up and unplugged it 😎
