We were worried, after reading the reviews, about our upcoming stay at this resort. Yes, it is dated and a bit run down. However, the staff are very polite, the service was good, and the location on the water cannot be beat. We never had trouble accessing the non-motorized water sports, and our kids (7 and 9) had a blast on the inflatables. We played a few holes on the 9-hole golf course (bring clubs for kids but there are adult loaners available), hit the ball around the tennis courts, and enjoyed the zoo show. Is it the Hilton? No. But if you are looking for a laid-back vacation with your family in the beautiful Muskoka region, we would recommend this hotel. We stayed in room 526 - would highly recommend something in the 520-529 range.
