It’s a small but workable hotel gym.
Once again, more cardio machines filled the space but with the range of dumbbells I could get a good lifting and quick hiit session in.
They had a sanitizer water bottle but not really any paper towels to wipe things off.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure – I would go back to this hotel again, not necessarily because of the hotel gym, but all together was a good hotel with a great location near the ocean.

It’s a clean gym area available for everyone to get in some essential training when staying here.
 
For a hotel gym, it’s not bad. It’s limited, but with the right imagination and motivation to train you can get a great session done.
Nevertheless, it would’ve been nice with heavier dumbbells, a squat rack, a pull bar and maybe a cable machine.
 
Outside of the gym there’re multiple outdoor fitness options including a 3km trail run around the site and outdoor fitness equipment dotted about.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – the equipment is too limited. It’s fine for a basic workout, but nothing more.

Comments
Pretty decent hotel gym for sure.
I did expect more from an Omni Resort property, but I suppose since this location is focused on golf, it’s not terribly surprising the gym is lacking a bit compared to other Omni properties.
I did appreciate that things are spaced out a bit and the available floor space is maximized with equipment placement. Dumbbells only go up to 50lbs/22kgs, but of course that’s typical of a hotel gym.

The hotel gym is compact, but very versatile and located in a separate building to the main hotel. It’s clean, all the equipment is in good condition and everything is kept very tidy.

I used the gym many times and never found it to be busy.
