We stayed at this place last summer. I thought I was going to stay in a nice place for the price. When I got there the place looked like it built very cheap. The staff was rude and wouldn't help out with any problems that came up. The only highlight was the hot tube. The only problem was that it... More

We we on a weekend trip and decided to stay near Bear Lake. This resort has campgrounds for club members, condos to rent and a hotel. You can get rooms that sleep 4 with full kitchen, large jetted tub and very large shower and connecting rooms that will sleep 6 more people. Beautiful view of the lake and nice sandy... More

I stayed in one of the beach front condos and had a good time but the place was probably worth $90-$100 a night given I had a view of the parking lot. the staff was rude and the owner, Ray, manages the place horribly. the jetted tub was pretty sweet. I met several guests who stayed in the camping/RV area... More

Our family of seven stayed here over a holiday weekend, I was expecting crowds but this was ridiculous!! We couldn't even walk along the beach. I didn't realize it was an RV park as well, and a crowded one. We stayed in the hotel on the beachfront. If you don't get one of the rooms with the kitchenette be prepared... More

We just spent a week during July long weekend in the "hotel portion of the "resort". Our unit was quite lovely, the beds were great and the view was spectacular. However it is the only hotel where they don't make up or clean your rooms unless you ask for it and you must be in your room at that same... More

The area is beautiful, no doubt. Downright spectacular. And there are almost no hotel options. But I got conned into making phone reservations at this place and was completely ripped off! The " hotel" is just a big building with a few dozen rooms. Plywood walls, cheap roll- out carpet, and furnishings from garage sales. No air conditioning, no amenities,... More

We stayed for three nights in hotel. Dish network and four beds worked great for us. The pool was closed during the day for a conference and the owner was rude when we wanted to use the hottub instead. Boat rental on the beach was great. The lake is very high but we had fun swimming/wading anyway

Bear Lake is so beautiful and it is surprising to know that accommodations are rather few. We loved our stay at Bluewater Beach. The rooms are very clean and nice. The lodge on the lake is really great and right next to the best beach on all of Bear Lake. The staff is very helpful and pleasant and the resort... More

We paid $85 plus tax for a room here -- way overpriced. No air conditioning -- the fan provided could not be placed in front of a window due to lack of outlets. No ice available even for a fee. The TV worked, but the cable stretched in front of the bathroom was a tripping hazard. One itty-bitty bar of... More

This Place has hidden costs. I was not happy @ all. Owner or manager was very rude. And bullies his way to force you to pay the unforseen costs. If you rent any of their water equipment watch out for the other costs. Was quoted one price for water trampoline @ $60 then after i put a reservation they said... More
