Carriage Hills Resort

Lots of activies,friendly staff & beautiful rooms. Nice play set for the kids, movie rentals, and a large pool, great for the whole family. We plan to go back this summer 2008.

We stayed at Carriage Hills for a week at the end of June. Wonderful resort with lots to do, despite its rural location. Apartment was very spacious by European standards, well equipped and very clean. There was also some good activities for the children.

If you have under 8 year olds with you we’d recommend a visit to Santa’s Village at Bracebridge, it’s about an hour away. Our 2 and 4 year olds loved it.

We just spent the weekend at the Carriage Hills Resort. We live in northern Ontario and our two children live in Toronto. The resort was a perfect place to meet and spend the day enjoying ourselves and using the games room at the resort. This past weekend they had to close the pool and spas for their regular cleaning but we were told we could use the facilities a the Carriage Ridge Resort down the road. We went to the other resort on Sunday to see what it was like. Both resorts are 5 star resorts. They are some of the best we have been in. Looking forward to returning several times. The golf courses looked very inviting but we were not able to golf due to our circumstances. Staff at both resorts were friendly and very helpful. The unit we were in was clean and furnished nicely.

THE RESORT TRANSFER FEES IS ONLY $150!!! DO NOT GET FOOLED BY SOME SAYING THAT IT IS OVER $1230!!! SINCE THIS IS A DEEDED PROPERTY, IF YOU PREPARE THE DOCUMENTS YOURSELF, THE RESORT CHARGES $150 FOR TRANSFER FEES AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $100 TO THE MINISTER OF FINANCE!!!

ALSO IF YOU CHECK WITH THE RESORT THEY WILL TELL YOU IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER OWES ANY MONEY AND THEY WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRANSFER!!! SO NO NEED TO PAY FOR A GUARANTEED CLEAR TITLE!!! THE RESORT WILL GIVE YOU THAT INFO FOR FREE (AND YOU WILL SAVE THAT $395!!! THAT SOME CIE IS ASKING!!!) BEEN THERE!!!

RESORT WITH SO MANY ACTIVITIES ORGANIZED BY THE RESORT!!! SOME AT THE RESORT (AQUAFIT, CRAFT, ETC..) AND OUTSIDE THE RESORT: CASINORAMA NIGHT, CRUISE ETC... WE OWN THERE AND ALSO TAKE EXTRA VACATIONS DURING THE YEAR SO WE GO AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A YEAR... GREAT GOLF, SHOPPING, DINING ETC.

I READ SUSAN 132 COMMENT AND I AM VERY SURPRISED!!! WE WERE THERE LAST YEAR DURING THE SAME TIME JULY 22ND TO JULY 29TH 2006 AND THE UNITS WERE VERY CLEAN. ALSO, WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO CARRIAGE HILLS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS FOR A TOTAL OF 12 TIMES AND EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS PERFECT!!! WHEN SITUATION LIKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTIFY THE RESORT IMMEDIATELY SO THE SITUATION CAN BE CORRECTED, INSTEAD OF MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS AFTER THE FACT! ALSO THESE KIND OF COMMENTS CAN AFFECT THE RATING AND VALUE OF YOUR OWN RESORT!!!!

We stayed at this resort during the week of July 22 to 29 of 2006. We had a two bedroom (one bedroom with studio). We walked into the one-bedroom and it was filthy. There was hamburger grease on the wall under the window. The rest of the walls could have used a cleaning as well. The floor wasn't vacuumed or swept and when we cleaned it we found broken glass on the floor. We had to wipe out the fridge before using. The bed sheets were soiled in the studio and requested them to be changed. The dresser in the one- bedroom had personal things that was not throw out (q-tips, an unused bar of soap and a used bar of soap). This told us the unit wasn't cleaned even though it appeared that the towels were changed. We stayed at this resort in the past and was very diappointed with the cleanliness this time around. There wasn't much to do if you are on a budget but swim. They had a lot of activities for kids if they liked crafts. The kids enjoyed the racoon show at night time from our window. As this is our home resort, we will not be going back for any summer vacation - we will use it in the winter and/or exchange it.
