Lisa, the manager went well above and beyond what we expected in terms of service and helpfulness. The room was great, with amazing views. The place was very clean and tidy, both in our room and in the remainder of the resort. The food at The Shipwreck hut was brilliant and we loved seeing the whales playing in the ocean. ##### Allen Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellie Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best spots on the beach. Views are beautiful. Loved watching the whales while having breakfast. Rooms are comfortable clean and spacious. Facilities great for relaxing, kayaking, paddle boarding watching the whales and safe swimming/ snorkeling. Entertainment with great varied live music each evening. Handy for the bus. Staff were friendly, helpful and interested in your day.

The room was clean and had all the facilities we needed, maybe just needs a little TLC. Plenty of music each night. The surroundings were great and gardens well looked after. ##### Pam Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Katrina Ann Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely friendly staff, the room had a lovely deck that was sheltered and right on the beach, cooking facilities were handy, good pressure on the shower. The bed wasn’t that comfortable and the pillows weren’t that good and smelt musty. Overall we had a lovely stay at this property, it’s not over crowed and very relaxed. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/92844d31-b0f2-4614-9c53-5082634aeec8-1756590880943.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ca69f961-efe6-4544-b78c-e51545d01a73-1756590881125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/572da3b4-b122-4599-8ff3-2f7e97633e03-1756590881152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katrina Ann Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Barrie Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good customer service. ##### Barrie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Caju](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Caju-Le-Petit-Hotel.h41332904.Hotel-Information) > > [Windspire Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Windspire-Inn.h10152600.Hotel-Information) > > [JJ's Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-JJs-Retreat.h16715716.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d178239-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nautilus Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Nautilus-Resort.h9203182.Hotel-Information) > > [Resorts Sabattus](https://www.expedia.ca/Sabattus-Resort-Hotels.d3000440212-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Club Raro Resort – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Club-Raro-Resort.h2434054.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Belize-Family-Hotel.0-0-d18-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Passage Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Passage-Villas.h5180358.Hotel-Information) > > [Auberge de l'Ile](https://www.expedia.ca/Creysse-Hotels-Auberge-De-LIle.h10229412.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhomes Panama City Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Beach-Townhomes.d8021-aaTownhomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Labrador](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Labrador.d6057673.Hotel-Destinations) > > [B&B Baltic Sea Coast Poland West](https://www.expedia.ca/Baltic-Sea-Coast-Poland-West-Bed-And-Breakfast.d553248622945080864-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Muri Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Muri-Beach-Club.h2729579.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Villas.d6034497-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Marina Fiesta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-Marina-Fiesta-Resort-Spa.h789745.Hotel-Information) > > [Makayla Palms](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Makayla-Palms.h26518112.Hotel-Information) > > [Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Crystal-Blue-Lagoon-Villas.h9760511.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Barrie](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Barrie-On-Bayfield.h441189.Hotel-Information) > > [Coco Unlimited](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Coco-Limited.h20510415.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Fauntleroy](https://www.expedia.ca/Fauntleroy-Seattle-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-n553248635976381907-0-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Natura Beach Pool Villa 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Natura-Beach-Pool-Villa-2.h25779229.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars ### Vacation Rentals ### General > [Visit G.K.
