As indicated in the title, this location is lovely. Golden lake is lovely. The view is great and the main dining area for the motel looks onto the lake. Just as a matter of expectations management, you should consider this place to be a motel, and from that perspective it is quite nice in many ways: pros - great breakfast,... More

I can't say how wonderful this unassuming hotel/resort was! The owners have really fixed it up to be modern, but somehow you still feel like you're at a cottage/lakehouse with the beautiful view! Service was amazing and they really went out of their was to accommodate us. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by Sands on Golden... More

When we decided to get married in Algonquin Park on the Spruce Bog Boardwalk on September 28, 2012, the Sands on Golden Lake was our obvious choice for the reception & honeymoon. From the early stages of planning our wedding, Jeff Raisbeck & his entire staff were so accommodating ~ in regular contact with us and in terms of attention... More

We booked the Hotel for a wedding reception and took several rooms for visiting family members. The experience was superb in every respect.

There is also an excellent dining room located behind the front lobby and overlooking the lake. The rooms do not have air conditioners, but there was a fan in our room and the air... More

We stayed at the Sands resort and Spa for our anniversary. It is the perfect place for a romantic occasion and getaway. The view of Golden Lake from the dining room is spectacular with one of the most beautiful sunsets Ive seen. The cottage we stayed in was of a high standard. Clean and contemporary but retaining the rustic feel... More

My father owns a cottage on Golden Lake and we have been going to the Sands for many, many years. We were concerned when the owners took over, however, the service is still excellent and the food is well prepared and very tasty. I always try to get a window seat in the restaurant because the view is one of... More

We arrived at the Sands with another couple to enjoy a weekend of snowmobiling/spa. We checked into a very clean and spacious room with a great view of the lake. The restaurant was fantastic - great food, great staff. Will definately consider this location again for a weekend getaway. Satisfied customers.

Being in the service industry my whole life I am extremely critical of the treatment I receive when patronizing another place of business. This can either make or break your experience. My brother and I stumbled across this resort on a recent snowmobile trip from Bancroft. Our expectations were not only met but truly exceeded on all levels. The warm... More
