Auberge du Lac Taureau

The place is gorgeous and very cozy. However we were very dissapointed in the spa. The sauna doesn’t get hot enough and there is no cold bath. We also were hoping to find a little gym to get a workout in during our stay. The beach and its activities are fantastic. Overall we found the place to be overpriced/overated for what it offers. We give it a 7/10. We are happy we experienced it but we wouldn’t go back.

The good: The view of the lake is beautiful. The rooms are very nice. The Cerf Rouge is an excellent restaurant. The bad: - Beach. (I went there to essentially lie on the beach, so I am biased towards this aspect!) The beach is not large, and there are only a handful of chairs. Be sure to be there EARLY to get a chair. Asocials at the hotel will "reserve" - put their towel on the night before - about half of them. There is no system in place whatsoever. When I asked the employees, they simply responded that the chairs are for clients. We are clients too ... I would also aadvise NOT to go on the weekend if you want to enjoy the beach. It will fill up twice as fast as usual. On Saturday, half of it was taken over by a group of drunk guests who were blasting music and making a nuisance of themselves. Their children had been calling 911 and the police eventually showed up. No arrests - unfortunately. - Safety. Please make sure your kayak will FLOAT before taking it out. Ours had a leak and we had to stop at an island half way to empty the water. We told the attendant - he simply shrugged, mumbled something about having a look at it later, and left the kayak for others to almost drown in. Very little regard for safety... - Infrastructure. The electricity went out for 3 days in the hallway. The escalator worked 2 or 3 times for us - it was out of order the rest of the time. We had to drag our luggage down 3 flights of stairs... The hotel did not give any updates as to what was going on, nor how long it was going to last.

Emplacement très propre. Personnel très très courtoie . Beaucoup d'activités gratuites pour tous . Belles randonnées. Bravo à la dame paysagiste, qui effectue un travail extraordinaire.
