The Grand Tappattoo Resort, Ascend Hotel Collection

Absolute delight right on the lake shore. Wonderful staff, great amenities, swimming pool was indoor and big with sauna and shower facilities.Rooms were spacious and all with a lake facing balcony. Breakfast wasn't that big enough but curated in a way that everyone found something.Location of this resort takes it home! Panoramic views of lake excellent for Kayaking and canoeing!

I want to preface this by saying that my in laws have had a place on otter lake for the last 30+ years. I also worked as a waitress at many establishments for 10 years. We have been to tapatoo on many occasions with different owners over the years. There have been times the food and or service wasn’t very good but I have never felt the need to leave a review until tonight.I phoned a few hours in advance to make a reservation for 5 people 3 adults 2 kids. This was no issue and we got in for 630..we arrived and we were the only table in the restaurant by 620. Our order went in by 630 and then 2 tables of hydro workers showed up who were staying at the hotel.At this time the kitchen decided to skip our already ordered meal including the kids meals and make the hydro tables their food instead .. we waiting for over an hour for our appetizer and kids food and then at 1.5 hours we left without ever getting our main dishes.The waiter apologized over and over but no effort was made to get our meals out. It was absolutely horrible service and a terrible policy to skip meals ordered first for people staying on the resort. This restaurant is a joke and we won’t be back .

Stayed May 2023. Not busy. Beautiful location. Rooms are average, but comfortable with a gas fireplace. Clean. Great views of the water. Pool was heated and clean. Restaurant hall was very enjoyable overlooking the water, food was fantastic and reasonably priced! Wish they had a hot tub but overall worth driving off the main highway.

I've stayed here twice now (Fall and summer) and really enjoyed it in both seasons. Beautiful location, comfortable rooms and a great little getaway. Very close to Parry Sound where we enjoyed the Island Queen cruise and spending time at Bearly used books.
