I think Ive found the perfect all inclusive resort for families if you don't have to be at the ocean. There is still the lake and so lots of water activities by the beach, and there are captivating programs for so many specified age groups that your children can be with you or be in organized programs for an hour or all day depending on what suits you or all of your family. For Americans trying to stretch their dollar, the exchange rate of U.S. to Canadian is still so good, that youll do very well. Ontario is just as hot in the summer as any place, unless youre heading to northern Ontario which we are not.
Fern Resort is located in Orillia, Ontario just above Lake Simcoe. From Toronto, youd be taking Hwy 400 to Hwy 11 at Barrie, to Hwy 12 at Orillia, and then to Rama Road and Fern Resort Road. The lakeshore stretches 1.5 miles long for your access. The cottages and lodges are almost all in total view of and steps away from the water outside their door or across the lawn from their door.
I've counted ten various age and activity classifications of programs for children, teens and adults, and that doesn't include the additional fitness, dance and art classes. This is one of those vacation spots that is ideal for many families wondering what those different age groups of family members will do during a holiday. Parents don't have to be exhausted at the end of their own vacation.
One of the really nice things about this resort is there are extensive recreational activities that are varied and always available if you decide to leave the beach. To give you an example, there is golfing, miniature golf, batting cage, extreme sports challenge course, low ropes challenge course, tennis clinic, archery, fitness room, rec centre, yoga classes, running track, spa day by the pool. Adults can escape from the sun and children by heading to Bertyl's Lobby Bar to lounge in front of two fireplaces and televisions.
As this is an all inclusive resort, all the meals, most activites and recreational facilities are included in the price, as well as accommodation. The resort arranges several shows and exhibits including a professional water ski show, mad science programs with highly skilled instructors, comedy shows in the evening, wildlife presentations, with the Indian River Reptile Zoo, one of the most specialized animal centers in the world. You or your children will have their fill of lizards, turles, snakes, alligators, and other reptiles. Musical entertainment in the evening is a great way to end the day.
What is a vacation without knowing the food options? Everything is done for you. At dinner, there are eight selections to choose from plus a childrens buffet. For lunch there are eight choices to choose from or the poolside barbeque available for five days per week. Breakfast can be either in your room as a Continental, or you can go to the dining room for an extensive array of selections to choose from. The childrens buffet is from 5:30 to 7:30 and this allows you to have the kids fed first, and then they can go to the playroom or nursery where they are supervised, allowing you to relax for a meal. For babies, there is Heinz baby food available in case you were wondering about that age group. The meals and options and menu samples are set out extremely well on their site and worth looking into if youre curious at all. Modest coverup is mandatory in dining rooms, with no bare feet, no bathing suits, no muscle shirts or hats, in other words, youre not at the beach, so dont dress like you are out of respect for others.
Accommodations " there are 105 rooms and all have fireplaces, most have decks, some are suited to a couple, others are suited to families of various sizes. Checking out the Bayshore cottage style, which is one up from the lowest priced one, there is a five-piece bathroom, a bedroom, and a bedroom-sitting area with another queen size bed/pullout couch, tv/dvd/vcr, small fridge and coffee maker, fireplace, air conditioning, parking at the cottage.
I priced out a Bayshore cottage from July 12 " 17, so for five nights all inclusive for one adult and two teen/preteens, I would pay $2728.00. That covers all food, recreations, accommodation, entertainment and lakefront activities, supervised programs for my children if they want to participate, skilled instruction and use of all facilities. Definitely worth checking out and the ratings for this place are very very good.
