What a gorgeous and historic hotel! From 1870! I was blown away. It has such character, and even local cottagers boated over for the dinners on the stone veranda overlooking the lake.
We stayed here for my birthday for 3 nights. What an awesome & serene setting! And even though it was during a difficult time for all of us (given the pandemic restrictions), the staff were amazing. They went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome & safe. Special shoutout to Ashley, Sarah & Cameron. Also the young man who served us Saturday night at dinner. Unfortunately (due to some lovely wine & champagne) I can't remember his name!! They were delightful, kept us thoroughly amused and filled us in on their future life plans and how they were getting through the pandemic. Tracey, Thomas & Paul were also fantastic in their professionalism and caring & always saw to it that we were taken care of completely. We won't hesitate to return here in the future.
Windermere and Palante.
This is a super hotel and we really enjoyed our thine there. The placing and the staff really make it great. The management really let the place down there seem to be lots of super keen and lovely young staff helping but no one really putting order in place. The rooms are good but really dated. It is for those two reasons I dropped a star and probably would drop another one if I was mean.
However all in all we had a super time and I recommend it. It is a place with problems but also a nice place to make memories that are unique.
Resort was beautiful. Food was excellent but what made the stay truly beyond are expectations were Roberto and Ben. Ben played the straight man to Roberto's wit. We are all still laughing and enjoying that final dinner. We are not sure if these two are doing this to every table but what a show. Thank You to both of you.
