Overall, the stay was fantastic. I don't get the whole "the rooms need updating" but we only stayed in one so maybe others are outdated. While ours wasn't modern, it had everything we needed and nothing looked old (there were no brown florals like in the 80s or anything). It was more of a muted type of furnishings.
That being said, the delivery amenities were our only issues. It's not worth taking off a star (if they had half stars, we probably would take a half off). They strategy of the resort needs to be modernized in our opinion. We don't live far from here and only stayed here as a weekend getaway from our normal surroundings. But we brought a Fire stick and planned to just stream and chill the whole time, while going to the docks for a couple hours. The first day, we wanted to get takeout from Packards, but their takeout ends at 3:30. So we decided to doordash, but you can't unless you have it delivered to the front desk. The campus is so large that this gets rid of any benefit of delivery (they only have one legal address so you can't choose any others). Then we called Salamander Grille and they did do takeout but wouldn't deliver.
I know this is nitpicky but current generations want delivery. We don't always want to be social. And every dynamic of our lives is going in this direction. So, the resort should probably modernize a little. Considering their restaurants are on campus, why is it so difficult to just have a delivery since some of the rooms aren't next door to the front office and have them open for remote orders passed 3 (seriously, not all of us go to bed at 6)? Salamander's was great, we absolutely loved it (the Poke bowl was awesome). But the fact we had to get dressed and ready to be out in public when we had already gotten into our chill clothes wasn't optimal. Again, I know it's nitpicky. But I see this as something more people are going to want as older gens leave and current gens become more delivery-minded.
Other than that, this place was amazing. Very great place to get away and chill. We didn't experience any loudness or anything else that would have been annoying. And the squirrels are the size of big cats so they are fun to watch. :-)

We spent the day at Innisbrook to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The staff at North course were friendly and accommodating. After our time on the greens we had lunch at Marjet Salamander Grill. Eva greeted us with a friendly smile and got us seated right away at a beautiful table overlooking the course.
Josie took such great care of us. She greeted us right away, inquired about our day and made suggestions for lunch. Once we had our food, she checked on and made sure everything was delicious.
This was our first time dining here and we will definitely be back!

We came for live music and dinner at the Salamander Grill. The atmosphere was amazing, elegant and comfortable with fire pits and a great band! Our server, Josie, was exceptional! Friendly, respectful and did a fantastic job of taking care of us! Even when we had additional people join us, she was on top of everything! It was a wonderful experience and night!

Just had guy’s golf trip here and overall it’s a very nice place. The staff was especially friendly and helpful. Alison (pro shop) was friendly and funny and at the breakfast buffet Natalie W, Danielle K and Melissa took care of every need. We played all four golf courses and mostly great conditions that we did replays twice. The rooms and buildings need some modern upgrades because they’re a little dated for the price.
