Having stayed at many different types of resorts. Bear Trial is 5 star allmost all the way. But it would all depend of how you would personally rate five stars. I have been to this resort twice once last month, and once 3 years ago. This is what I think: -Ground are beautiful. This resort can be visited all four... more

During our stay last year and this year we have noticed a huge decline in service. We decided to come back this year just in case things changed for the better (we heard that some changes were made). In short - It's not consistent and not 5 star. It's really all the little things that used to make a difference... more

Overall Impression - Great! The Couples Resort is great for couples who enjoy a peaceful retreat away from the city in rustic-yet-chic accommodations. Very close to the east entrance of Algonquin Park, you can relax by the water's edge with great food, comfortable beds, and luxurious spa ammenities. Everything here has been taken care of for you, and all you... more

The Bear Trail Couples Resort is a great place to go IF you are outdoor kind of person. The location is within minutes of Algonquin Park and Bear Trail does offer discounted rates so that is a huge plus. If you go hiking through the park you will see UNBELIEVABLE things. The room we stayed in was a bit outdated... more

My wife and I have stayed here 2 times. We both really enjoy good food and good dining experience. Food and wine were excellent both times we were there. Beautiful rooms- very well decorated and spacious and clean. If you love a quiet getaway that offers you lake, boating, hiking, biking etc, along with great food, this place is the... more

This place is absolutely amazing. I've been here in both the summer and the winter, and quite honestly, both seasons boast their own luxuries. We just got back from spending four days up at the resort in March, and it was snowy and beautiful. You can sign up for activities without a hassle - we did cross country skiing and... more

We can only afford this trip once a year, but it's sure worth it! March has the cheapest rates I could find when you can still enjoy the snow and can count on at least half decent weather. This resort offers everything to enjoy the great outdoors. From snowshoeing, skiing, dogsledding, horseback riding, skating, snowmobiling...then back to the room for... more

We were only there for 2 days, but it was the most relaxing and romantic 2 days we've had in a long time. The suite was incredible - luxurious, very clean, ammenities over and above the usual soap and shampoo; we felt pampered and spoiled - a private hot tub on the balcony overlooking the water; jacuzzi tub in the... more

We began our stay in a Junior Suite. It was disappointing considering the price and it was our honeymoon. The room was dark, and outdated (everything from the bed coverings to the bathroom fixtures). We ended up switching to a Master's Junior Suite and it was AMAZING!! Well worth the price especially on the honeymoon. PROS: -food -the activities: tennis,... more
