Overall, we had a good experience at Deerhurst Resort. The restaurant options were great, and the live entertainment was a nice touch. The pool area was enjoyable, and most of the staff were warm and friendly. However, some areas need attention. The facilities, especially the locker rooms and towel service at the pool, could use updating. They have a one-towel rule, but the towels provided are very small — closer to a hand towel than a bath towel. We stayed in a waterfront room with a beautiful view, but unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy the balcony due to several large spiders right outside the door. We also found a spider nest inside the room and a millipede in the bathroom. If you’re not a fan of bugs, this may be something to consider. In-room service was limited — no housekeeping or room service during our stay, which seemed unusual for a resort at this level. The room also lacked some basic amenities like hand lotion, water bottles, and a variety of teas. Lastly, one staff member at the breakfast buffet made us uncomfortable due to her appearance, which gave the impression she may be unwell. It stood out in contrast to the otherwise professional and polished team. Deerhurst has potential, and we enjoyed many parts of our stay, but a few improvements would go a long way in elevating the overall guest experience.

The resort is in a beautiful area and has some great amenities - but unfortunately is showing its age - the balconies have mold and need a power wash and paint - and the restaurants are expensive but not worth it at all. Place needs a lot of TLC and modernization - bar was falling apart with fridges leaking everywhere

Overall the resort was very nice. Lots of amenities for the kids. Rock climbing, arcade, indoor playground, outdoor activities and pool. We stayed at the bayshore, waterfront room but the hotel was very outdated and dusty. The screen door to the balcony lookout looked like it had not been cleaned for months. Cobwebs were all over the screen and a ton of spider eggs were in the awning. When you entered the hotel room, it spelt musty like an old attic. The bayshore is an older building. The other building on the resort looked much nicer.

An amazing family getaway with a lot to do with the kids. Only downside was food options & pricing, but take a 10 min drive and there are many food options for half the price

We stayed on the 3rd floor in building #1. The view of the lake was amazing from our room window and we could imagine how perfect it will look during a summer stay. Unfortunately, our room is in dire need of an update and renovation. It was bland and unremarkable. Size wise it was great but the bathroom is way too small. Short shower. My suggestion is expanding the bathroom which would not take away from the large that already exists.
