We stayed in one of their Glomes. Wonderful experience! A nice disconnect from everything. We weren’t really happy with the food in the dining room. We have been staying at WhitePoint for the past four years and could see the decline in the food.
We just spent 3 magical nights in a 'Glome', yet another reason to love the White Point experience! Fully equipped with a propane fireplace, kitchen, bbq and comfy bed, nothing can beat soaking in the hot tub on the deck with the snow falling. It was a perfect get away with wonderful meals, live music and the outstanding staff who go 'above and beyond'.
We stayed at White Point Feb 10-12, and travelled with our pup and another couple. We were fortunate to get Cottage #11 right in front of and with unobstructed views of the ocean! The cottage was a huge 1 bedroom - the sitting area was massive with a TV, Fireplace, wetbar area, and then the bathroom and bedroom. It had a huge veranda where, in Mid Feb, we were fortunate to sit out in the sun and watch the waves for a few hours on the Saturday afternoon. The food was excellent - there was buffet at the supper or you could order off the menu. Buffet was the only option at Breakfast but it was very well stocked with tons of choices and we felt was excellent value. They had a great selection of Craft beers both on tap and in bottle/can, great drink menu, and a pretty good pub menu in the lounge. The live entertainment both evenings was fantastic - and really got the crowd into it! Overall a great getaway with great friends and we will most definitely be back!…
We stayed at White Point from Feb 10-12 and had booked the romance package for an oceanfront cottage. Pay no mind to the negative reviews, the food is excellent, the cottage was cozy (shout out to the propane fire place), the staff is amazing and the amenities are great! Upon arrival we were able to walk up to the front desk and check in immediately. Our cottage #47 was close to the main building, which was great! Our cottage did not have hot water, but maintenance staff stayed after hours (on a Friday night) to remedy this issue and install a new hot water tank- thank you!!! We brought our dogs with us, and they had fun walking the grounds, playing in the fenced -in off leash dog park and walking the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool, we went later in the evening 7:30-8:30pm and there was only one other couple there at that time. The area was very clean! Meals were great, our romance package included ALL menus AND/OR Buffet! We ate in the lounge for our first dinner and had the lobster roll and the burger and homemade pretzels. The burger seemed to be a store bought patty, so that wasn’t overly tasty, but the pretzels were amazing! We ate at the dining room buffet the second night, and that was hands down delicious with many choices! Won tons, Mac n cheese and Mussels for the win!!! Shout out to Matt in the lounge and Morgan in the dining room- excellent service, as well as the young man serving the prime rib- very friendly fellow! Breakfast was buffet style and again, had something for everyone! Does not disappoint!!!The home style hash browns were delish! We did make reservations for our meals ahead of time, as recommended in our booking confirmation and we were able to change the reservation times without issue the day off, as needed. Music at the lounge in the evening was a highlight, the fire and the comfy chairs/choices really make for a cozy ambiance as did the attention paid by serving staff! I had a massage and foot service done at the spa- that was lovely! The massage therapist Dorothea was very knowledgeable about the property, as she has been employed here for 25 years! She brought great conversation and amazing skills to my afternoon of pampering! All staff we encountered were professional and friendly! Maintenance staff always had a smile and a wave/nod when we ran into them on the property. We would love to return, perhaps in the summer with our teenage children! Book a stay, you will not regret it!…
We just got back from our annual family winter week-end get-away at While Point. We used to take our Dad for a spring get away and in 2019 we decided to expand the trip to our 3 adult children and their families. Dad passed in 2020 so we decided to switch things up to a winter week-end get away. We give the SeaScape week-end to our 3 adult children and their families as part of their Christmas gift. White Point does not disappoint. Yes, it is an older property, and it is somewhat pricey, but you have everything you need in the cabins. There are enough very comfortable beds with beautiful bedding, chairs in the living room and one in each bedroom that you can pull out to the living room so family can all gather in one cottage, microwave, minifridge, and fireplace. With the SeaScape package, meals are included and we love that you can order from the menu or have the buffet. We did feel this January that things were better than ever before. The pool water was very warm (even in the -25 weather!) so Nanny (me) could even get in with the grandkids! There were floaties for the kids, plenty of towels, and love love love that the pool is now free of chemicals and uses salt water cleansing. The entertainment is excellent in the evenings with the fire roaring. We simply don't understand the complaints about the the food - it has always been excellent and with a group of 10 to 12 with us each year there should be complaints from a few - but that never happens. It is excellent. We have a few shout outs to staff this year - Aleisha in booking has made our life simple. We used to always have problems booking but whatever the issues were in the past are no longer there. She knew exactly what I wanted, booked it and in 15 minutes we were all booked with the 3 specific cabins we wanted. This has never happened before. At the front desk Kim was incredible in helping us sort out an issue and it was fixed in 2 seconds. We also have Danny from maintenance who always greets us year after year with a hello and a smile and we feel very comfortable having him on site as we know things will be taken care of properly. He is a gem. In the dining room, we were lucky enough this year to get Jen again as our waitress Saturday night - she is quite frankly the best waitress in Nova Scotia, bar none. Olivia was also excellent for our Saturday breakfast. No sure what happened Friday night - service was good but we were told we could not get ice in our water (???) but that was resolved on Saturday. We love White Point and the fact that our family can get together for a winter week-end without having to go through airports hassles or worry about finding sitters for the pets. They just come as part of the family. The Lodge is great for meals, swimming, play room for the grandchildren, and just a beautiful place to sit in the lounge and take in the fire and entertainment. Thank you to all who make our winter 2023 week-end another fabulous stay. Findlay-Thompson family…
Visited, after a long absence, for lunch. The food was good, but not extraordinary. We ordered nachos and wings. We could not believe the outlandish $23 price on the EIGHT wings we received. Let’s not forget that they come with carrot sticks… I think maybe 4 bland, not fresh sticks. The nachos were good, but there wasn’t enough on them. 4 or 5 slices of jalapeño was disappointing. Even the staff were agreeing about the crazy prices.
We enjoyed a great meal at WhitePoint last night with friends. The food was great but Jen , our waitress , was unbelievable. Her service and experience was very much appreciated. Thank You Jen for a great evening. !!♥️
It’s a failing business. Beyond hope it seems. Valid criticism is not addressed. Be prepared. Food is shocking, accommodation is 15 years behind current standards. A fruit salad was apple slices and a few pieces of pineapple. Anyone who puts that out without considering how ridiculous it is, really is beyond all hope. Avoid.
Beautiful white bunnies everywhere. We had a cabin right on the water which had a great view. The prices were absolutely crazy though and everything was additional including food. For those prices you would think you get something other than a cabin and a view but I guess that's the downside of tourism in Canada.
Stayed in a Treehouse Cottage and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend for a couple getaway. Great view, nice and private,very comfortable layout with the nice propane fireplace,great shower and bathroom and great amenities(small kitchenette) It is designed for and is ideal for a single couple. Would highly recommend.
