We were disappointed with our experience. The amount of stairs was an issue. Stairwell was hot and carpets were stained. Banister was wobbly. Upgrading is definitely needed. Beach area was full of debris. Complementary breakfast is not offered. Buffet style breakfast is $30. I've stayed in less expensive places that offered at least continental breakfast included with stay. Dave's pub was nice with good food. Pool was nice but in need of a cleaning. Not worth the money.☹️

Access to the beach was amazing! Staff at the front desk upon check-in were welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately the pool was dirty and there weren’t enough chairs to even sit around the pool. Stayed in Pine lodge which was so loud listening to all the people in the hall way. A/C hardly worked and carpets throughout the pine lodge were so stained and gross.

I love to give people and places the benefit of the doubt, but after I experienced this “resort” this week, I can confirm all of the negative reviews are true. Is the staff pleasant? Yes, of course, and it’s certainly not their fault this place is completely run down and understaffed. My family has owned a multitude of successful businesses and establishments. I’ve also been able to personally travel and experience a plethora of lodges, resorts & hotels. I encourage the owner of Oakwood to do the same. Let’s get into the specifics: -rooms aren’t just dated, they are DIRTY -yes, I knew there would be no house keeping, but not even taking the garbage, recycling or providing cleaning towels without asking 2-3 times in the same day?? -has a “private beach” but no option to rent towels, chairs, umbrellas or even water crafts -has dog friendly rooms however places families with kids and adults who don’t like dogs next door to you, oh and god forbid your dog barks- noise complaint. -you can hear everything. Both neighbours on each side, and especially those above. -absolutely no one at the counter at checkout This resort needs a MEGA refresh and it’s totally achievable, but you need to LOCK IN. Please invest. Please consider bringing in actual experienced management that cares about the customer experience. What a shame it would be for this piece of Canadian property to go to waste.

Great overall experience. Beach access was awesome. Don't need to leave unless you really want to hit the shops and restaurants in town. It's walk-able if you want it to be- about 10-15 minutes.

The price is WAY too high. The rooms are old/outdated, the ads say there is continental breakfast when there is NOT, it even stated that there was breakfast on your room key card. There is an extra 7% 'resort fee' PER DAY that we were not aware of until we got the bill. The tv (in our room ) was smaller than my desk top computer screen. The mini fridge was slightly on a tilt and hard to open. Upon check in we informed the man we no longer required the microwave and to please remove the $25 fee from our room. When we got the bill, they never took off the $25 and had to call to make it happen. I am still not clear on how this is considered a "resort". The only positive for us, was the private beach. If paying $500+ for two nights is worth a private beach, then this place is for you. We will not be returning.

The whole room felt a bit dated. The washroom fixtures were from the early 2000s. The TV was small relative to the room size and the colour hue showed its age. There was dust and dirt behind the table, bed, wall corners and edges of the room. Given the rating and price of the hotel, I expected much better.

We had a seamless check-in and comfortable bed. The furniture in the room was somewhat dated but it included everything we’d need. A nice addition would have been a couple of bottles of complimentary water.
