I went to the Delawana in August 2012 for five days. The area around the resort is beautiful and very scenic. The cabins are very cozy and comfy but could be better - and updated. The bed was okay. I stayed at the cabins by the lake; is it called the Lilacs? Hmm... The main building looked very old and... More

Our family loves the Del. We went for our eighth time in as many years over the Labour day weekend this past August. We started out with just our family (mom, dad, two kids now aged 10 and 13) eight years ago, and our group has grown each year, we were up to six families this year. What we love... More

This is a kids resort not somewhere you can go to with your significant other and spend some down time. However when I called the resort and asked them if it would be adult suitable I was told it would be a great stay. The resort is situated on Honey Harbour which is sits partially a rock face so that... More

Hi Carolyn C, Thank you for your comments. It's a shame we missed the mark with your visit. In July & August we are indeed one of Canada's best summer family resorts. In the spring and fall however, we do cater to couples and corporate groups. I'm pleased that you enjoyed our grounds and your boat cruise. In regards to... More

We spent 4 days over the Labour Day weekend at the Del and we had a fantastic time. We stayed in the Spruces as I requested the most economical room they had. These sets of rooms were in the Park area. Great location as it is a short walk to the Social Kiosk and pool and not far from the... More

We've been vacationing at The Del with our grandson for the last 6 years and have always had a great time. Our grandson is now in the Teen program and he was thrilled with the activities and Teen Leaders (counsellors). For me, there is a huge list of available activities, although I spend most of my time on the 9-hole... More

We'll definitely be back! This was my first visit, just myself and my 4 year old daughter. We stayed in the Beeches. Yes, I suppose the rooms are a bit dated (or you could just think of it is a retro :) ) but we found them to be clean and definitely met our needs. As someone else said, it... More

It was a toss up between the Delawana or travelling to Ottawa. I'm glad we chose the Delawana. We have 3 kids - 5 months, 6, and 9 - and I quite enjoyed being able to put them into the kids programs for parts of the day. I think the child camps and day care alone was worth the full... More

We have just returned from a quick 'getaway' at the Delawanna Inn. First let me say that we did have a good time but here are the points. - Update your rooms.
