We had a great time at this resort. We were a group of 4 families, all staying in the newly renovated beach front condos. The condos were clean and spacious and had views of the beach and lake. 
The beach was clean, sandy and very shallow for the little ones. You could rent kayaks and paddle boards, fish off the smaller dock or lounge on the beach chairs. In the evening they had music on the beach and bonfires.
We had amazing weather and so didn’t use the indoor pool much, but it’s a great option for rainy or cooler days. 
The staff was great as well! Any issues we had were handled quickly and they worked hard to make it a great experience for everyone. The staff organized activities for the kids as well which was great. 
It is also pet friendly and our pup received a welcome basket full of toys and treats.
The location is great too as it is convenient to get to from the Ottawa area. We will be back!

Fun for all!!!

We stayed in the newly renovated beach flats.  They were very modern, clean.  The staff were amazing :  Jackie, Shawn , Hannah, Alana, Alexis and Emily . The activities for the kids were so fun .  Shawn and Emily brought great energy and smiles at all times.   Fireworks on the water were top notch . Indoor pool was great .   I loved it so much I booked it for next year .  Highly recommend!

Highly recommend 

Beautiful place to spend a few days in, staff members are super friendly and helpful.

Cottage was clean and beds were comfortable, ait had all the kitchen utilities. 

Beach area is clean, indoor pool is well
Maintain.

Good Time! 

I booked a last minute getaway for my kids, mom and I to Mcreary's beach resort and I am so glad I did.
I was hesitant at first because of my last year's experience with the Great Blue Resort (We went to Cherry Beach resort in Sandbanks and were so disappointed), but after spending Canada day long weekend at McReary's I can say that they made up for it!
Starting with the staff, they were all so nice and friendly. They were always ready to answer questions and provide us with what we needed with a huge friendly smile. My kids wanted to play at the arcade one night, after hours of operation, while mom and I were enjoying a beer over live music so Gwynn went out of her way to turn all the games back on for them!
Accommodation is not 5* but very acceptable. We rented beach flat 3B which was very spacious (3 bedrooms and 2 full baths) and comfortable. Whatever was missing (example mop), we were able to obtain from the office. We were told not to be shy and ask if we need anything because they have it all.
Beach was just perfect for us. Mom and I got to enjoy the sun while the kids played in the park or in the water steps away from us. The water is shallow but this is perfect when you have kids.
The indoor pool/hot tub were perfect for when we needed a break from the sun and heat.
Last but not least, that weekend turned out to be even more fun because of all the activities they had going on for Canada Day celebration. We enjoyed live music and beautiful impressive fireworks on the Saturday and a parade on the Sunday!

This resort is perfect if you have kids and looking for some downtime to relax! We have already booked to go back for 3 nights in July and may be doing another 3 nights in August!

Beautiful Canada day long weekend!

We wanted a nearby getaway on the water.  While we like to camp in tents, we wanted something easier and with more amenities.  We have rented cottages and yurts but wanted a more social setting.  Being a resort, in addition to the beach, water craft (like a cottage), they also have a large children's play structure and a multi-use court where you can play tennis or basketball.  They also have indoor facilities that include a heated pool, hot tub, ping pong table, ...

What makes the resort best for families with small children is shallow depth of the water off the beach.  It was 2 feet deep out to the floating line.  Kids and grand kids were not cramped together trying to stay in the shallow water. There were no issues letting the children splash in the water. (e.g. sudden drop off)

The place is a bit run down - think cottage not house.  I stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment, not a cottage.  It was basic and functional  We needed to bring our own bedding and towels (like yurts).  We enjoyed sitting on the beach and meeting people.  The staff was friendly and helpful.

Perfect for families with small children.

I spent a weekend here with my family of 5. We initially wanted to book one of the new modern beautiful looking cottages that are owned privately but located on the resort. When I called the resort, I asked if the cottages were close to the beach.  I was told it may be a walk and that if I wanted, I could book one of the condos that was owned by the resort (Great blue resort) which were located steps away from the beach. I asked if they could send photos of the condo and of course was sent only 4 of the best looking photos.  We were so excited but when we arrived we were extremely disappointed. We were given condo 2B. We appreciated the rustic (more like dated) look but this was so dirty and dark. Bugs and food on the floor, ants all over the counters, fans covered in an inch of dust, dead bugs on the window sills, an inch of dust on all the blinds, lamps were broken and one was broken in half and dangling. etc etc. We requested to be moved to another condo if a better one was available. We were given 1B which was about the same level of dirtiness as 2B except there was more sunlight. We had to move all are stuff from the other condo and it was a very hot day.  The staff member at the front helped us out and mopped the condo for us when we left to the pool because she felt so bad about the food and dirt all over the floor. Honestly these condos just need a little TLC and very cosmetic fixes and they would be great! Maybe an extra hour of cleaning per condo, change the lamps, etc.  This stay was not cheap and honestly I was ready to lose the money and leave on Saturday night because I was dreading another sleep in the condo.  Besides the stay, everything was wonderful! The staff, the lake, the beach, the pool.   I would recommend this place but I would definitely stay at one of the cottages next time! You could not pay us to stay in the condo again!

A great escape...but horrible stay in the condo!

Booked on Expedia for a one night stay mid-week, passing through town. Didn't realize we had to bring our own sheets....was buried in small print. Should have been much more obvious. Otherwise a nice clean unit.

Booked a condo for Canada Day for my family in March. Just received a call that all their condos will be under constructions and cannot be rented. So now my reservation is cancelled. Poor management and organization of this resort cost my family a vacation. 

Warning if you book at this resort don't expect them to honor the reservation.

Would give a rating of zero if I could

When the resort wants your business, everything is fine. Once you paid your money, they changed their attitudes. Do not recommend anybody to do business with such a deceitful organization. My experience has been absolutely terrible. Please stay away.

Terrible management and business running

We wrote to explain all the problems and simply requested a reply with explanation. No reply so left us no choice but to warn others. 
This is not somewhere you want to stay. From mouse droppings to visible lack of maintenance literally everywhere this place needs a major makeover.
