I recently enjoyed my stay at the Shangri-La Resort, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful views and spacious facilities. The pool area truly stands out, offering fun for both kids and adults, plus various activities around the lake make it a great family-friendly destination. However, there were some minor issues with noise in the rooms and the dining prices compared to nearby options could be better. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a weekend getaway in Oklahoma.

My stay at Shangri-La Resort on Grand Lake was overall enjoyable, highlighted by the beautiful pool area and nice dining options. The staff was helpful and accommodating, although room noise from above was a downside. While the accommodations were spacious and comfortable, the view from our room could definitely use some improvement. I would recommend this resort for a fun family getaway, but be mindful of potential noise and to aim for higher floors to enjoy a better view.
