What I would have probably done is put 1 high gain omni in the centerish of the open area linked back to the main building an youl could even make it solar powered for the one in the center. It would solve the weaker signal in the central yard and should have enough range to enter the cabins as well.

I would put in the new Wave 60GHz with 5GHz backup solution. Great speed through the air. UISP airMAX GigaBeam 60 GHz Radio with Ubiquiti airCube ACB-AC for internal wireless. This has PoE pass through and will power the gigabeam. No need for PoE injectors. Then as a switch at the main backhaul use a Ubiquiti US-8-150W UniFi 8-Port. Allows 48v or 24v on the ports

I like to build my systems with strong 5GHz, and then fill in 2.4Ghz.

I disagree, I build networks for RV parks and this is very similar. The issue with the UAP-AC-M-Pro is client device talkback signal strength. Sure you can blast the outdoor area with the mesh pros but the iphone inside one of the cabins is going to have a very hard time talking back to the AP. I would either put a Nanobeam on each cabin and a UAP-AC-Pro on the inside of each building. OR put a UAP-AC-Mesh indoors at each cabin. The main building seems fine but I would have gone with a UDM-Pro SE and a 16 port switch. Can all go in a little rack and be nicely patched and have some cable management for the hub. (you touched on it at the end of the video but I don't think it is overkill.)

I disagree to. I was given a fiber backed campground with UAP AC M Pros on 14 towers, UAP AC M units on each subscribed camper and U6 Lites inside the units. The UAP AC units roam even when they are pointed to the UAC Pro units. They added AP groups for each lot number to hand out separate SSIDs and then tried to use the captive portal for the weekend warriors. Remember, I said it was given to me. The ISP wanted their weekends back without having to refund all of their customers, lol.

I understand why ubiquiti is popular for self install by people with a limited experience, it's affordable and easy to setup but don't get why pros don't install mikrotik. It's equally affordable or more so, much more capable and configurable and it performs better in almost every direct measure. (Excluding carrier wisp market) It would be ideal in this environment and provide better speeds and coverage for about half the cost. Unless you want an actually professional solution when you would use Ruckus or Aruba but that's not low cost like ubiquiti. Although the best advice for this park would be to find out why they can't cable between the cabins, it would be so much better solution to ptp to a master over the field and have a poe cat6 to neighbouring cabins, every other would probably do but depends on construction. Also... You would then want a few 30/60deg sector antenna for covering the field itself. You will have weak signal in the middle with the suggested kit as the gain will not be good enough for the clients.

Lots of ways to do that string of cabins. I might prefer one radio shot to the closest cabin then wire or fiber$$ to a PoE in each of the rest of the cabins. This would provide EZPZ infrastructure for cameras anywhere later on. I would also do a small rack in the main house for adding redundant Internet or Starlink service later on. Some people like to disconnect on vacation but I like fast stable Internet! Most mountain area rentals say “wifi” in the property description but they often just have crappy DSL, as I experienced in that same area about a year ago.

I took a look online and the cabins have TVs so there is a decent chance they already have coax running back to the main building. If so, MoCA (DECA if they are using DirecTV) adapters and an AP in each cabin might be another easier and more cost effect alternative.

My experience with the Mesh Pro wasn't good. You can use A Mesh AC with the Dual-Band antenna for the same price and cover things better. We used them to cover an entire city block with no speed losses from a phone at the end of the street. I would also go with NanoStation 5AC Loco on each building with an AP AC In-Wall at each cabin. Not a bug increase in cost but a much better user experience. I think I would also go with 2 LAP-GPS for better property coverage and because they are so inexpensive. And 2 24-POE Switches, one at the corner of the building, one where the internet comes in to distribute things better with a Cat-6A 10-Gb link. The dual netgate seems overkill, and I instead go with the Dream Machine Pro SE. Starlink is also a good internet option for a remote place like this, but it's not technically usable under the user agreement to use it for a business unless you pay the $500/month plan.
