In truth, I did not stay at the resort HOWEVER I did book and cancel at the last minute because my father died. The resort fully refunded my deposit, in spite of the reservation policy that requires a non-refundable deposit. They also sent their condolences. I really was impressed, and will go there for sure as soon as I get... more

My wife and I were looking to getaway for a couple of days. My sister and her husband recommended this resort to us, and I can definitely say we weren't disappointed. As an earlier review mentioned, when you drive into the resort it's easy to be let down a bit (maybe because it was raining and the snow was melting).... more

We booked this place last minute and without much research. It was an all-inclusive that caters to couples so, we figured how could we go wrong? Upon arrival, we were disappointed. It doesn't look like much and honestly, seemed old and a little dated. However, we became pleasantly surprised when shown to our accomadations. We stayed in one of their... more

Stayed for two nights in the dead of winter. Saturday morning awoke to -36 C temperatures. We are not really outdoorsy people so did not take advantage of snowmobiling, dog sledding etc. Stayed in an exotic junoir suite which featured a fireplace, steam shower, in room jacuzzi and a hot tub on the balcony. Nothing like hot tubbing in -25... more

We have stayed at Bear Trail several times. We keep going back because we LOVE the private hot tubs and very few resorts in Ontario offer this. Everytime we go, we say that our stay was OKAY, but not fabulous. The rooms are very nice and the private hot tubs are great, but the service is definitely NOT 5 star... more

We spent 6 nights at Bear Trail for our honeymoon in late September. The setting was beautiful! FOOD Despite some other comments, we found the food amazing! After the stress of planning a wedding, there's nothing better than sitting down to four courses, with helpful and friendly servers paired with great wine. The dining room was relaxed, and we were... more

Having stayed at many different types of resorts. Bear Trial is 5 star allmost all the way. But it would all depend of how you would personally rate five stars. I have been to this resort twice once last month, and once 3 years ago. This is what I think: -Ground are beautiful. This resort can be visited all four... more

During our stay last year and this year we have noticed a huge decline in service. We decided to come back this year just in case things changed for the better (we heard that some changes were made). In short - It's not consistent and not 5 star. It's really all the little things that used to make a difference... more

Overall Impression - Great! The Couples Resort is great for couples who enjoy a peaceful retreat away from the city in rustic-yet-chic accommodations. Very close to the east entrance of Algonquin Park, you can relax by the water's edge with great food, comfortable beds, and luxurious spa ammenities. Everything here has been taken care of for you, and all you... more

The Bear Trail Couples Resort is a great place to go IF you are outdoor kind of person. The location is within minutes of Algonquin Park and Bear Trail does offer discounted rates so that is a huge plus. If you go hiking through the park you will see UNBELIEVABLE things. The room we stayed in was a bit outdated... more
