Fabulous Fern Resort All Inclusive

by Ella Jean Beauclaire

I think Ive found the perfect all inclusive resort for families if you don’t have to be at the ocean. There is still the lake and so lots of water activities by the beach, and there are captivating programs for so many specified age groups that your children can be with you or be in organized programs for an hour or all day depending on what suits you or all of your family. For Americans trying to stretch their dollar, the exchange rate of U.S. to Canadian is still so good, that youll do very well. Ontario is just as hot in the summer as any place, unless youre heading to northern Ontario which we are not.

Fern Resort is located in Orillia, Ontario just above Lake Simcoe. From Toronto, youd be taking Hwy 400 to Hwy 11 at Barrie, to Hwy 12 at Orillia, and then to Rama Road and Fern Resort Road. The lakeshore stretches 1.5 miles long for your access. The cottages and lodges are almost all in total view of and steps away from the water outside their door or across the lawn from their door.

There are at least ten different age and activity programs, plus fitness, art and dance lessons. This is of paramount importance for families needing to know that all age groups of their family will have a good time without parents being exhausted at the end of their holiday by participating in everything with children.

One of the great things about this place is that there is an extensive list of recreational activities that people can join when and if they want to. To give you an example of activites away from the beach, there is a batting cage, extreme sports challenge course, low ropes challenge course, tennis program, golfing, miniature golfing, archery. There is a fitness room, rec centre, running track, yoga classes, spa day poolside. Bertyls Lobby Bar is the perfect place for adults to lounge in front of two fireplaces and televisions after a day in the sun.

All the meals, accommodation, activities, programs, entertainment, and most sports and recreational activities are included with the price. There is a professional water ski show, comedians in the evening, mad science programs with highly skilled instructors, wildlife presentations including up-close encounters with species, Indian River Reptile Zoo which is one of the most specialized animal centers in the world and will give you your fill of snakes, lizards, reptiles, turtles, alligators, etc. They come to the resort to enable you to experience their extensive exhibit. Musical entertainment at night, comedians, this place continues with a lot of choose from into the evening as well.

Interested in what you will be eating? Everything of course is prepared for you. At dinner, there are eight selections to choose from plus a childrens buffet. For lunch there are eight choices to choose from or the poolside barbeque available for five days per week. Breakfast can be Continental brougt to your room, or you can go to the dining room for an extensive array of selections to choose from. The childrens buffet is from 5:30 to 7:30 and this allows you to have the kids fed first, and then they can go to the playroom or nursery where they are supervised, allowing you to relax for a meal. There is baby food supplied for those very young children. The site provides meals and menu samples to browse through easily to satisfy your curiosity and need. Modest coverup is mandatory in the dining room, so show some class by following the rules of no bare feet, no swim suits, no hats, no muscle shirts.

Accommodations ” there are 105 rooms and all have fireplaces, most have decks, some are suited to a couple, others are suited to families of various sizes. Checking out the Bayshore cottage style, which is one up from the lowest priced one, there is a five-piece bathroom, a bedroom, and a bedroom-sitting area with another queen size bed/pullout couch, tv/dvd/vcr, small fridge and coffee maker, fireplace, air conditioning, parking at the cottage.

I priced out a Bayshore cottage from July 12 ” 17, so for five nights all inclusive for one adult and two teen/preteens, I would pay $2728.00. That covers all food, recreations, accommodation, entertainment and lakefront activities, supervised programs for my children if they want to participate, skilled instruction and use of all facilities. Definitely worth checking out and the ratings for this place are very very good.

Fernresort.com can also be called at 1-800-567-3376. Their website by the way is one of the best Ive seen for layout and user-friendly access.
