The location is 10/10, the free watercraft was an added bonus & the breakfast buffet was a great start to each day. The beds were very comfortable but the bathroom was a little smelly and tired. The hairdryer attached to the wall needs to be removed as it is a hazard

Loved the peaceful relaxing place

Enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Tappattoo. Standard rooms were of a good size and the waterfront amenities and indoor pool were fun and the main reason we booked here. Staff were a mixed bunch, some very friendly and helpful, others quite rude. Would recommend if you are looking for a decent no-thrills stay with good breakfast.

It was nice. Staff was friendly but rooms were bit old

We liked the beach. The fire pit at night was a nice extra. We did find that between rooms noise was a little disturbing in the early hours

To be honest i read the revuews befire going so only booked one night minute me and my kids got onto property they were upset i didnt book 2 nights. To my surprise we had a cottage it was great. Yes ok somethings people post are true cottage arent new turn key for house to live in . People have to understand these r cottages in tbe middle of the woods.. yes water took sometime the first shower to drain after that is was fine.. mine u i think they r well water so could be reason as well. The beds were a little hard for my comfort but both my kids said bed was great for them. Breakfast is standard scrambled eggs toast bacon potatoes sausage. The indoor pool yes little outdated but again jts a cottage resort .. if your looking for the ritz this isnt for you. We had a great time n looking to book first week of july next yr for 3 nughts

Wasnt enough staff to handle dinner service so had to go off site Found guests got up at crack of dawn to reserve chairs at beach making it difficult for everyone to find a spot. Many of those “reserved” spots were for children who were out on the water Fishing was allowed at the swimming beach and your children fishing without supervision Perhaps monitoring of facilities would be helpful

Excellent

Good over all

Good facilities

Very clean and lovely property. Location convenient and easy drive from hwy 400

Excellent place I will definitely repeat in future

Comfortable and clean.

Excellent amenities, very underadvertised in my opinion. I would definitely go back. WE loved it there.

Lovely hidden gem. Beautiful beach. Not too busy. Great location. Good breakfast.

Lovely setting Older structures in need of some TLC

We really enjoyed our stay. The kids (9 and 5) had a blast swimming and playing on the big water trampoline. Life jackets were provided. There were also paddle boats, kayaks and canoes to enjoy as well. The beach was clean and a nice sandy walk-in to the water - no stones. Our room was a standard double Queen - very roomy and clean. All the rooms have a balcony and face out to look over the water. The restaurant was very nice with good food. I would say the only problem may be that it seems they are very understaffed as you had to reserve a time to go eat as if you didn’t they would not be able to take you as they could only accommodate a certain amount at a time. However, the staff that do work there are all very friendly, extremely hard working and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

Comfort and good

Amazing location. Quiet and peaceful. Rooms need a facelift. Wifi needs to be available and reliable.

The property is beautiful, northern paradise, but some aspects of my room could use improvement. Shower curtain fell down, lighting, fan, tub jets and tv all had strange controls that seemed to operate on their own schedule. The room had no phone or ice bucket. If you needed the front desk you had to use your own phone. AC did not work well. Building exit doors were near my room and very loud. The view was spectacular! The room size was great. Food at restaurant was great!!!!!!!! Staff were all friendly. Restaurant staff phenomenal!!!

We had a very nice 3 days at the Grand Tappatoo. Lovely location with a beach and lots of watercraft to borrow. The beds were comfortable and nice linens and towels. But the building we were in was a bit tired with outer door that banged everytime someone came in at night, old carpet, noisy airconditioner and broken balcony furniture. We enjoyed breakfast and the servers were all great. Dinner was good but a wait of over an hour from ordering to serving was unacceptable and the manager's comment when I mentioned this the next day that it was not" a fast food restaurant " was ridiculous.

After seeing positive reviews, I booked the resort hotel weeks in advance for a surprise 10th anniversary celebration. Upon arrival we enjoyed a glass of wine on the porch before a knock on the door and an unannounced entry by hotel reception quickly changed our mood only an hour into our stay. Reception's error in the room assignment quickly became our problem and spoiled our celebration to the point we were made to feel like unwanted guests, ruining the remainder of our stay! In fairness we were offered a small compensation for dinner and an apology after seeking out the hotel manager the next day but in hindsight it was way too little, too late! My hope is that hotel management learns from our poor experience and improves the customer service level as the hotel itself has a lot to like. 

Beautiful lake-front beach hotel. Very nice service.

Fantastic place! Would absolutely stay here again. Great price for the experience you get here.

Good food

Would be 5 stars but one night of our pricey two-night splurge was marred by smoke alarms going off repeatedly throughout the early morning hours. The resort refused to refund any part of our stay.

If I could rate this property 10 stars on everything this review would be accurate. This hotel exceeded all expectations. The room was immaculate and extremely modern. The restaurant was beautiful, and our food was outstanding. We have been traveling for 2 weeks through Canada and Northeastern USA and the food and atmosphere reminded me of a high end restaurant from a large city. The beach had kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats and fishing gear available to use for free. My kids enjoyed the water trampoline and the game room. We wish our stay was longer, and we will definitely be back.

Very nice stay

The Grand Tappattoo Resort is a fabulous place. This is our second year. There was a small issue with the restaurant being understaffed, and it was a bit of a wait but the staff was very good to do their best. We were on no timeline. Everyone is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We saw the Otter again this year 🙂 Thank you, Tappattoo !

Wonderful lake, great property, will definitely come back

Very good location. Beach front, next to Parry Sound. Courteous and helpful staff. The hallway carpets need to be refreshed.

We really loved the beach and all the outdoor things they have to do. We found the room was dirty, around the pool area and the rooms were older. The breakfast wasn’t very good….
