We had a lovely stay at this resort, enjoying beautiful views and a variety of outdoor activities for the family. The amenities were decent, but the housekeeping could use improvement. While the price was affordable, some areas of the resort felt dated and in need of upgrades, particularly for a more upscale experience. Overall, it was enjoyable, but not without its shortcomings.

I recently stayed at a hotel that offers a lot for families, including plenty of fun activities like kayaking and a pool that my kids adored. The room I was in was pretty updated with a lovely view of the water, though some minor improvements could elevate the experience even more. The setting felt cozy and inviting, and I appreciated having free access to recreational equipment. However, the breakfast could use a bit more variation, and some amenities felt a little worn.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and came with a lovely deck that had a nice view of the lake and woods, and the check-in process was seamless. However, the breakfast offered was not as varied as I had expected, and I found it disappointing that there was no housekeeping service unless staying for longer periods. Overall, it has potential, but there are areas that need improvement.

Ocean Gate Resort offers a charming camp-like experience with a wide range of activities suitable for the whole family. While the rooms are comfortable and the service is attentive, some aspects could use improvement, particularly the layout of the dining area during breakfast time. The location is idyllic, close to the beach, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Overall, it’s a delightful retreat, though it may not be for those seeking a more modern resort experience.
