Top Bala Hotel Reviews

Muskoka Bay Resort

Muskoka Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"It is a work in progress and will be great when fully up and running. The staff need some training, particularly in the new building. For example, they told patrons the sky bar was closed when it wasn't. Not that there is anything happening up there yet, but it is a lovely view to go and see. Otherwise, it was very quiet. One of the buildings is brand new and the fuses kept tripping. We had to reset them a couple of times. The pillows in the room need replacing as they are very thick and hard and therefore uncomfortable to sleep on. The units are really lovely and well laid out. It is nice having kitchen facilities and we will probably use them next time. The location is very convenient, being so close to downtown Gravenhurst and the shops and waterfront"
