“How far did you travel today?”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

You know that you are at Couples Resort when you are asked this question by Derick as he welcomes you to the dining room. We spent a wonderful weekend in May (sorry for the delay in my feedback) at Couples. Excellent food, great martinis made to our specifications and superb service by all. We enjoyed our clean room, especially the... More

“Nice weekend getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW via mobile

This was our 6+ visit to the resort and we once again enjoyed our weekend away. We stayed in the junior suite which has recently upgraded the flooring, bedding, and paint throughout. The king bed was comfortable. Some of the furniture is dated and really hasn't changed much in the 13 years we have been visiting. However, we will definitely... More

My husband and I stayed at a Spa Villa Cabin to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary for two nights, from June 5th - 7th. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and it was a great getaway, especially considering we had to move on our actual anniversary the weekend prior ...

Thanks for taking the time to write us, we sure appreciate it. We will have our maintenance team look into the villas especially that sticky fan. With the nights so cool, we haven’t turned off the heat yet, so even with the thermostat turned down it wouldn't bring in the cold air from the air conditioner, best just to open... More

“Nice Little Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2013

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for our 1 year wedding anniversary, and it was a very nice and enjoyable stay. We stayed in the upper level junior suite. There were too many large trees to see the water front. Not a very good view unfortunately. The room itself was very clean and a great size. The... More

“Junior Suite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013

We stayed in a Junior Suite from Monday to Friday. We enjoyed our time. We made use of the facilities (tennis, kayaking, massages, ping pong, shuffle board, darts, billiards, lounging on both the balcony and by the pool) and made use of the Algonquin Park Pass and did hikes. Of course, we also enjoyed all our meals. We'd recommend the... More

Very glad you enjoyed your time with us at Couples Resort. I am sorry that the Whisky Rapids trail was closed in the Park. With the huge flooding this Spring many areas were damaged up north here. It seems to be the only trail closed in the Park. Hopefully with other beautiful trails near that one, you took advantage of... More

“Beautiful Place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2013

Went for a quick overnight stay. Rooms were great. Bed was so comfortable and the amenities were endless. Dinner was by far one of the best I have ever had and the people and staff were warm and friendly. Had hot stone massage and it was fantastic. My only negative thing to say was that it was not long enough.... More

Side trips with ice cream! Perfection.. Thanks for the room tips. It really does make all the difference when staying with us. Not all Resorts have so many options and I know this can be sometimes confusing for some when booking. We look forward to seeing you for your 26th Anniversary. Until then, be happy! More

My boyfriend and I went back in May of this year for our second visit. It is such a relaxing enjoyable getaway where I get totally relaxed and rejuvenated. The food is great with not a huge choice but definitely enough. Daily specials every day. The rooms are luxurious with wonderful soft bedding.
