Balm Beach Resort and Motel

Great location with the beach right across the street and provincial parks nearby. Amazing hosts who make you feel very welcome. Comfortable, clean and quiet rooms.

The location is perfect—just a short walk to the lake, and you can even see the lake from the window. The room is clean and comfortable. There’s no bathtub in the bathroom, but it’s spotless and well-maintained. The small kitchen is well-equipped and very convenient. I plan to come back next time with my family!

If there was a bathtub, that would be great. It would also be nice to have USB chargers built into the wall, but those are not necessary for an inn. No complaints so far — good location and a very nice, friendly owner.

Perfect location! Room was clean and overall property is well maintained.

Beds were not very comfortable.

Excellent location! Steps to the public beach across the road. LCBO, two restaurants, an arcade/restaurant/bar, ice cream store, general store are all within a minute walk away. You couldn't ask for a better location for a fun beach weekend. Well equipped suite has everything you need, just hope on your motorcycle or car and go. The owner is very nice and very accommodating. The resort is well maintained and above expectations.

Nothing, it was a great place.

I enjoyed my stay! It felt very “neighborly”, as everyone who came and went chatted with each other and sat together to enjoy the amazing view of the water, and to enjoy the Thursday evening live music on the beach!! I believe this speaks to the kind of atmosphere the owner himself creates for his guests.

We had a fabulous beach vacation here! We had an efficiency unit with a little kitchen and with everything we needed for our stay. We liked the little fold out table and chairs in the kitchen,perfect for breakfast. The room was very clean with modern decor and design sense. The location was perfect and we loved being steps away from the beach and it felt very much like a resort. We also enjoyed walking to the nearby bar/restaurant and the little shop with ice cream and LCBO. Tiny is a small beach town that reminded us of bygone Beach towns and we preferred it to the crowds and bustle of nearby Wasaga Beach. You could easily spend your whole time here without driving anywhere. There were a number of bbqs on the premises which were spread out and we enjoyed a bbq most days we were there. We also used the firepit which Mike outfitted for us when we wanted. Mike was great - both helpful and friendly with anything we needed. This is a special place and we would love to come back.

No complaints. The only recommendation I would make has nothing to do with the property - I would recommend you bring water shoes for the beach but this did not deter our enjoyment.

The location was perfect right across the street from the beach. Walking distance to restaurants. The owner is so friendly and laid back. A perfect place to relax.

The location was amazing. The room was perfect. Nice and clean plenty of space for us. The grounds were immaculate. The bbq area was private, lots of seating areas on the property to enjoy. We enjoyed a nice fire around the firepit area. You can tell the owner, Mark takes great pride in taking care of the grounds

Nothing to dislike

Cute look and feel to the motel. Great proximity to the beach. Pet friendly was a real bonus (extra charge). In the heart of the action at Balm Beach.

Some people seemed to really enjoy their stay here, it just wasn't my kind of place. I thought the rooms would be a bit more spacious. The shower knob was installed in an odd way (sort of bashed in), and the furnishings were basic. I am not a fan of dark sheets on a motel bed - everything should be bleachable; these were not. The parking was tight - narrow and full - but we were able to squeeze in each night. I couldn't find any extra sheets for the sofa bed, which wasn't your typical pull-out, so we didn't use it. No cleaning service until you leave.

The location was fantastic! Steps from the beach and restaurants. There was a general store and beach store all just steps from the motel. We didn’t need to use the car at all the entire time! The property was well kept and very spacious offering a couple of different seating areas as well as a fire pit. The room itself was very spacious with a well stocked kitchenette. Perfect if you were staying for a week or more. There was a full size coffeemaker included. The owner, Mark, was super accommodating and very friendly.

The room we were in was very dated and really needed some updating. The room looked very clean but there was a strong mildew smell like a damp basement. It got better the second day having the air conditioning on. The bathroom was functional.

I think we found Hotel California here - and if we would not have been able to leave we would not be sad at all

We previously read that there is salty water for showering or cleaning the dishes - which was true. But it is clean and it just obviously has a lot of minerals and metals - but there is also extra tap water for cooking or making coffee which actually tastes great.

The property adjacent to the beach is exceptionally beautiful, boasting stunning views. There are well-maintained trails that allow you to immerse yourself in the tranquil blend of the lake and forest. During your stay, you can take a refreshing swim in the lake and in the evenings, indulge in the property's inviting fire pit.

I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately, I had a less than satisfactory experience. Upon arrival at night, I was disappointed to find that my room was not clean and there were only four bottles of water provided. The tap water had an extremely salty taste, making it unfit for basic tasks like brushing teeth. Furthermore, there was no hairdryer in the room, so it's advisable to bring your own if you plan to take a shower.The bed in the room was uncomfortable, and to add to the discomfort, the refrigerator emitted a loud noise, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. The lack of attention to these details affected the overall quality of my stay.To make matters worse, I found the gentleman at the reception to be unresponsive and occasionally behaving in a strange manner. This lack of professionalism further detracted from the overall experience.I hope the hotel management takes note of these issues and takes steps to improve their cleanliness standards, amenities, and guest services. It is important for them to address these shortcomings in order to provide a more enjoyable stay for their guests.

Owner is very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect.
