Keep at least one hand dry to snap an iconic view of the CN Tower.

    Honestly, you get what you pay for. $65 per person plus tax. They were playing the worst playlist from the year 2000. Half the speakers weren’t working. The servers are really friendly but can be incredibly slow at times. At least the one we had. The pool is much smaller than what it looks like in the pictures. The beer though.. 355ml can of Heineken was $14. Most places are charging that for a 20+oz pint. If that. The chicken wrap tasted like a curry wrap. Overall if you get a good spot you can get most of the sun exposure.

    Only complaint was slow service. Perhaps being a Monday they were short-staffed. Took half an hour to get a drink and forty five minutes or so to get food and lounge was not at capacity.

    The staff and views are beyond exceptional! The food is delicious and the service is top tier. That being said, I think the facilities need a little sprucing up, they’re well loved but also well used. Overall it was an unforgettable experience and I look forward to next time!

    My daughter and I spent the day and loved it! The service was top notch and the food was delicious. It’s a little on the expensive side but so happy we enjoyed the day here. The outdoor washrooms were a little bit dated and small to get changed in. Great location to venture out after spending the day here. We will definitely be back 😉

    The Salsa experience was good and interactive. The staff at the hotel lakeview lounge were accommodating and friendly however the pricing for the cocktail and food was outrageously expensive and there was no direct parking by the hotel, it was through a third party parking l out company that has no direct connection

    Great day! Abhinav went above and beyond for my friend & I. Slightly chilly day so we were lucky to have the pool deck to ourselves for a portion of the day. Daniela and Yan were outstanding. The only thing I would critique is the changeroom/washroom. It was very clean at our visit but I can’t imagine how busy it must be on a full day. It’s very small. And a warning about the seagulls. We lost a glass of wine to a bird swooping down and tipping the glass and a vodka soda! Vodka solda we were reimbursed and we said not to worry about the glass of wine. Also for next summer: Salsa night on the pool deck would be so much more fun if you just stack some loungers and move to the side. Thanks for the complimentary drink! The spicy margarita was actually amazing. Coming from a bartender. We will be back and will definitely book a couple nights. Cheers!
