Keewaydin Island Pet-friendly Holidays

The resort is under construction and what would have been a beautiful, peaceful beach experience was marred by the noise. Unsettling and disturbing would describe the feeling of laying out in lounge chairs at the beach. When I went to rent a paddle board I was told that the beach rental company, located on the beach at LaPlaya, had lost their contract with LaPlaya consequently they were not allowed to rent equipment to hotel customers. Although the hotel has a restaurant there is no dinning or shopping choices within walking distance. A car is a must. There are lots of choices off highway 41, several miles from the hotel. It wasn’t clear when I booked the hotel that a “Bay View” was not in the main building and was located across the street. Despite umbrellas being readily available, if it’s pouring rain, which it often does, you will get wet crossing the street. The hotel room was very quiet. It might have something to do with being located across the street from the construction. The bell service and housekeeping were exceptional. My room was impeccably cleaned each of the 6 days I spent at LaPlaya. There are 4 pools at the hotel. It would have been nice if at least one of them were adult only, screaming, crying children are not my thing. Our balcony was a shared public space. The hotel only offers valet parking at $44 dollars plus tax per day. I believe once the construction is completed the LaPlaya would be a more satisfying vacation.

Beautiful property and amenities. Clean rooms, great food.

Great place friendly staff.
