Here at Massanutten for my week. Fairways restaurant had a fire...resort did not do a good job of opening up Hideaways Lounge on Tuesday or any other place as an alternative. Very disappointing. Wifi is not working throughout much of the resort (including waterpark) or is slow enough where it is not useful. Disappointing visit thus far.

Edit: Fairways is back open.

I was there about 2 weeks ago. We stayed at Summit Wifi was iffy but workable the first 3 days then went down for half a day. When it came back up it was even worse.

We had a great time though and as a family decided on a summer week at Massanutten in a 4 br Regal Vistas vs a 2 br Hilton in Myrtle Beach.

Thanks for sharing this info. We will be at Regal Vistas the first week in November.

What do you think the issue is with the WiFi? Is it through AT&T, which is always wretched? Or is it the location? Number of people using it?

Do they offer one of the supposedly better plans which you have to pay for?

Are there a lot of people there this week? We assume there will be a lot less in early November.


Are you getting the rain down there that we are getting right now?

Hi NKN!
Tons of rain this week...we are up on the hill so very little impact but I know in Harrisonburg there was a lot of flooding!

On the internet:
1) The waterpark SSID was there but I could never connect to it. Probably needed to be reset but since it was "closed" there was no one to really talk to about it.
2) For poor wifi in the condo: I think it's a combination of distance from hotspot and bandwidth. They don't offer a higher level. I am alternating between using their wifi and using my own hotspot from my cell phone (but I only have a limited amount of usage before that starts getting very expensive).

Very few people here this week. It's nice and quiet.

On the bright side: all of the dinners have been wonderful. I've been to Mixology (Monday), Beer Lovers (Tuesday), and Murder Mystery (Wed) and they've all been fantastic. Hitting the Winelovers tomorrow because...why not? :)

If I am strictly going for groceries from Massanutten, I go to Food Lion in Elkton. If I am headed toward Harrisonburg for any reason or shopping on my way to checking in I hit a combo of Target and Martins.
