3.5/5 ⭐️
Stayed at Living Water Resort & Spa on February 13, booked through Expedia. I got a solid Friday night rate, but upon arrival I could tell it was going to be a busy one — 11 people in line at the front desk. Rather than wait, I headed to my 5:45 reservation at Lakeside Grill.
Dinner was the highlight. I had the surf and turf — beautifully cooked beef tenderloin, a very respectable lobster tail (yes, frozen — but we’re in Ontario and it was handled properly), scallops, shrimp, mussels — a generous seafood spread, all executed very well. Holly, our server, was fantastic. It was clearly a daunting night and she stayed positive, professional, and attentive. She made the evening.
Back to reality afterward — another 30+ minute wait at the front desk. My room was in the new wing on the fifth floor, about a 10–12 minute walk through confusing, poorly marked hallways. That said, the room itself was excellent. Brand new, spotless, beautiful kitchenette, great bathroom — truly 5/5 on the room.
The spa was fully booked and wouldn’t take a waitlist name in case of cancellations, which was disappointing. By 9:30 PM the pool was on a one-in, one-out policy due to capacity. The staff across the property were friendly and doing their best — you could just tell the weekend volume had them overwhelmed.
Great room. Great dinner. Strong staff. The front desk experience and crowd management just need tightening up.
