I had a pleasant stay overall, with beautiful views of Georgian Bay and a spacious unit that felt inviting. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the check-in process was a breeze. However, the beds were uncomfortable, the noise from neighboring units was bothersome, and the heating system had some issues during winter. Additionally, there were some maintenance concerns that need addressing, but the staff responded well to complaints.

I had a pleasant stay in a unit with stunning views of Georgian Bay, and the spacious living area was a highlight. However, the uncomfortable beds and noise from both neighbors and maintenance were drawbacks that detracted from the overall experience. While the amenities were adequate, some improvements are needed to truly enhance the comfort level.

The resort has a stunning view of the lake, and the staff really tries to make you feel at home, which I appreciated. However, the condition of the facilities leaves much to be desired, with many aspects in need of urgent maintenance. The Wi-Fi is unreliable and some units are quite outdated, making the overall experience less enjoyable than it could be.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort with a beautiful view of Georgian Bay. The apartment was tidy and provided a great ambiance, but it felt a bit outdated and could use some renovations, especially in furniture and décor. The swimming pool and fitness area were impressive, and I loved the proximity to restaurants within walking distance.
