We booked a suite. It worked out perfectly for us. More space than we as a couple needed but sooo nice. There was no cooking facilities but with the microwave and fridge we made it work. A bit odd that the ensuite in the bedroom had a lovely shower, sink but no toilet. The king size bed was super comfy. We took our boat. The boat launch was so easy to use and the docking facilities were in excellent shape and well maintained. Heather at the front desk was beyond helpful from the time we called to book until we checked out. She was awesome!! Kayla (one of the servers) went above and beyond in the dining room to make sure we were well taken care of. Although breakfast was tasty and plentiful, they constantly ran out of some items and it took a longer than average to replenish. We really liked the lake and the location of the resort. We were pleasantly surprised that there were next to no mosquitoes/bugs. Overall the resort was very quiet even though there were a lot of people. It was extremely hot when we arrived but the air conditioning and ceiling fans made our suite very comfortable.

As an “older” couple with some mobility issues we found the stairs down to the dock a bit of a challenge.

We come to this resort for the 4th time and we'd like it here. We can used the water facilities anytime. The room is clean and spacious. The bed is comfortable. The view is amazing when you get up in the morning you can see the lake and the calm water. The breakfast is good. Overall our vacations was good.

We are hoping that there are some other options for breakfast like add some muffins ,croissant and fresh fruits like bananas & apples. That would be nice if they dredge the bottom of the beach to removed some weeds. The geese pooped are alwys there;that would be nice that they put a friendly dog to scared them so they will not keep coming and the guest can use the ground to play some games if their done swimming. Overall we had a great time.

This place offers a special connection with nature and its facilities are well taken care of. Gorgeous lake view and a peaceful environment. The room was as advertised (we stayed in the furthest wing of rooms 80-84). The included breakfast is a plus and the access to watercraft’s at no cost enhanced the experience. Overall friendly staff and very good food at the restaurant.

The room was clean when we arrived but I wish the housekeeping team had come back the next day to refresh. We had a short stay so it was fine. We asked for fresh towels at the front desk and they were provided. Some rooms are not easily accessible for guests with mobility challenges. The carpet on the hallways can use an upgrade or deep cleaning. One night at the restaurant we got charged for something we were told it wasn’t going to be extra but ended up on the bill.

My friends and I had a fantastic mini getaway at the Grand Tappattoo Resort, the room was comfortable, the views were spectacular. We were pleasantly surprised of all the amenities this resort had to offer that was included in the price, for example a hot breakfast, indoor pool, sauna, workout room, lovely sandy beach with paddleboards, kayaks, canoes and floating trampoline and dock to use, firepits, BBQ's, trails and a beautiful restaurant right on the water. We enjoyed a delicious pan fried pickerel while watching the sunset over the lake, then wandered down to the beach to lay in the lounge chairs to star gaze and watch shooting stars. Otter Lake is large with several narrow channels and bays perfect for paddling! The staff were very friendly and attentive. It is only 8 minutes from Parry Sound. We highly recommend this resort and are planning our next visit there!

Great hotel in a wonderful location. Our room has recently been renovated, and carpet change in the hallways is expected very soon so that everything will be new. The breakfast was of good quality considering it was free. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious! I especially want to highlight Eli for her exceptional level of service. Always with a smile on her face, she was making us want to return to the restaurant again and again! There are plenty of sun loungers and tables on the beach, so you can spend the whole day there.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a kayak for two people or a pedal boat, and the kids were looking forward to riding together! Many guests mentioned that these used to be available on the beach but have disappeared. The geese on the beach were quite annoying. First, the area is messy with droppings, making it hard to walk around. Second, there are many feathers in the water, giving it a dirty appearance, even though it’s very clear! If something could be done about the geese and kayaks/pedal boats could be added, this hotel would be unbeatable! The Toronto Islands had the same goose problem, but they managed to resolve it somehow, and there are no geese there anymore.

The view was stunning! Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Nice watching the communal campfire at night. Loved having access to the beach and kayaks/canoes. It was fairly quiet. Breakfast was great a buffet style with bacon, eggs, toast, beans, pancakes, coffee/tea and juice. We enjoyed our food at the restaurant for dinner - sandwich, fish n chips and chicken strips all delicious and fairly quick, friendly service.

The carpet in the hallways. Much of the place was renovated, so it was strange to see such filthy carpets in the halls.

The proximity to a beautiful swimming lake at Otter Lake. Kayaks, Canoes, and Paddle Board were lying around free to use. The children loved the floating trampoline. The beach was raked daily. There was an open fire pit for sitting around at night. They also had an indoor pool and a very hot sauna. The sunset and morning views over the lake were spectacular . While eating you had ringside seats of the stunning views. No dogs allowed, which was great. The upgraded rooms were clean without carpeting. There was a huge 55 inch Samsung TV Even in the older rooms. The rooms have a bar fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. Rooms were large with either a king size bed and sitting area. All rooms had views of the lake, to be enjoyed on the balcony with a libation. The restaurant served free hot breakfasts, that were enjoyable. Dinners were pricey for being average. I liked each table received a litre bottle of water. This was all I drank because the wine list, especially the red was terrible and had obscure descriptions such as taste of leather, eucalyptus, hint of mint. We wanted a red to celebrate, but declined after sampling one and stuck with the water. They had a ping pong table and foosball. They even had a guitar to sign out. Two video games for bored kids. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool and lake. Oh yes, a fishing rod could also be signed out. The place is intimate with only 62 rooms. The main club house is warm and cozy. I heard they hosts a lot of weddings and birthday celebrations. They have many repeat guests returning year after year. I will definitely return. Looking forward to swimming and scenic canoeing amongst the loons. All the staff worked hard but still managed to smile. We particularly enjoyed the friendly Mexican staff, with whom I could practice my basic Spanish. Raymond was fantastic and became our friend and spoiled us. We also liked his girlfriend Ellie and all the rest of the servers.

The dirty carpets in the dated rooms. We checked one of their upgraded rooms without carpets and new fridge and microwave. Definitely we will stay in one of these next time. Eventually all rooms will be upgraded. The paddles for the kayak and canoes, and paddle boards were in bad shape. Also the boats were old and worn. One canoe had a broken seat. Oh well ,they were free to use.

Nice location, serene and the facilities were great and spacious. Free use of kayaks and pool is good service although we couldn’t use them because of the weather.

The staff and customer service was horrible. Other than one reception lady, all others were rude, not helpful including the restaurant staff. The male receptionist didn’t give us proper info when checking in and failed to answer the phone for 3 hours to book the restaurant only to then be told it was full. They seem really weird and restrictive about serving food although they give a generous portion - the system of having to book a time and the poor customer service makes us not want to come back.

The location was absolutelybeautiful. The staff at the front desk went above and beyond to help. The restaurant staff were friendly, efficient and clean.

Alot of things didn't work great for us upon arrival. Our key did not work, which is not a big deal but we went out the exit at the end of the stairs(top floor), to go to the back in. We got locked out and stairs didn't go down to ground level. We were lucky a staff member heard us and let us walk though their living quarters. Fan did no wok in the room, hot water tap spun window was very hard to open and was scared I might break it trying. Someone had smoked on the balcony which was not a big deal either. But left their cup with butt's there. The kayak my husband took had a slow leak.

Great outdoors - lakes, trees, v scenic. Food was exceptional in the restaurant. Great room, bathroom, balcony. Swimming pool and sauna lovely. Sauna needs a cold shower and a clock perhaps.

Service was excellent on the first night but being short staffed meant we had to wait over an hour for our order to be taken, on the second. It was very difficult for the two poor young waitresses on duty.
