• Restaurant, leisure activities.
• First room was small and dark, wanted to pay for upgrade-it was not allowed.

“We took our teenage children and they loved the water activities. Restaurant food was excellent. We wanted to pay for an upgrade - pavilion room and they refused. We were put in travelers room which was very small. Eventually the staff relented. We enjoyed our mini-holiday and would love to return. It looks like it would be fun in the winter.”

• Water activity was very good. The Eclipse restaurant was excellent and the sport pavilion was very good.
• Our room was small and dated and seemed in need of a renovation.

“Great location, close to Toronto. Had lots of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. Some of the rooms and facilities seemed in need of a refresh, but the surroundings and the environment with the lake and the golf courses more than made up for it.”

• Many features for resort vacation.
• Came to check in at 4 pm and our room wasn't ready.

“Overall, we enjoyed what little time we spent there. The main outdoor pool was a little old, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Room was very clean, free WiFi in room was an added bonus.”

• Big room. Upgraded us to a king bed when we arrived.
• Wouldn't let us request king bed ahead of time and it was for our anniversary.

“Very nice hotel. Check bill carefully. We had charges on ours that did not belong to us.”

• The hotel had a great atmosphere and a lot to do. Would definitely go back if we got this price again.
• The hot tub is very small and soapy. The floor at the pool area and games area was very dirty and not cleaned often.

“We stayed at this hotel at Easter time. Unfortunately even with the cold wintry weather, they had cancelled most of their winter activities. So being remote, there was little to do in this in-between period. They should have been available to rent the skidoos more, allow skating etc. The only thing I would change inside is I would put in an outdoor hot-tub that is kid-free or at least make the existing one bigger. I had to deke around kids swimming in the hot tub in their life jackets! And the thing only holds 6-8 people! Cleaning the floor around the sports area would be nicer as well. Otherwise, great hotel; would definitely go again!”

• Excellent amenities, restaurant, atmosphere.
• Long line to check-in.

“Very family oriented, nice gym, pool, spa. Try a restaurant called "3 guys and a stove" located 5 minute drive away, excellent food.”

• Everything - especially upgraded room and the beautiful scenery.
• Not applicable - no bad experiences.

“Very courteous and helpful staff, room arrangements was as expected (actually exceeded expectations since we were upgraded from a junior suite to a luxurious timeshare unit upon arrival due to overbooking), food and food service were exceptional.”

• Beautiful location.
• We were in one of the older rooms; the new building is much nicer.

“Deer Hurst is a great resort. This particular stay was very short, less than 24 hours, and the weather was not nice. Our room was in an older building and could use some talk. Our last stay was in the main building and the rooms were fantastic. From past experiences, I would recommend Deer Hurst, but this trip was not very nice due to the short duration and the weather.”

• The facilities were excellent. The scenery was wonderful. The meals were well prepared.
• The meals were overpriced. The bed was not particularly comfortable. Someone's room service tray was left all day in the hall.

“We enjoyed our short stay at Deer Hurst. It was bright and comfortable. The service was very good and the facilities were excellent. We would recommend it to others, although the rooms were quite expensive.”

• The room was spacious, the food and the wait staff were very friendly and the location is beautiful!
• Carpet in our room was a little worn or maybe it needed to be cleaned.

“This was a great place to stay after a day in the Algonquin Provincial Park. My husband and I were alone and we were thrilled with the room and the quality of the food and especially the service. We stayed at about 5 different hotels on a trip through Quebec and Ontario, including top-rated hotel names, and this was our favorite. We could have been happy there for several days-a definite thumbs up!”

• The beauty of the resort and evening shows were spectacular.
• The restaurants were very pricey. We chose to eat many meals offsite.

“We had a wonderful trip full of swimming, hiking, squash, tennis, evening musical shows. all at the resort.”

• Our room had a terrace. Shuttle bus service. Activities were great and lots of fun.
• Cw lounge & facilities were closed. Room cleaning could have been better.

“We loved it, had lots of fun and would go again. Shuttle bus service is very quick. Staff is friendly. I would rate this as a 4 star rather than 5, but all in all very nice resort.”

• Activities, service, and amenities.
• Smoking in non-smoking rooms was awful.

“Fantastic. Great service. Superb activities. A great value. Early check-in. Helpful staff. Other guests were likewise very nice. Snowmobiles get a bit tiresome and smoking in remote rooms is a problem, but all in all a true resort experience and a great winter holiday with very little extra costs hidden anywhere. Nearby towns also superb. Oh Canada!”
