Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

sooo this is the frostiest, most negative experience we've ever had at a hotel. we booked through Wagjag for a special. we called and were told check in is 3 p.m. we advised we coming a long way, might be there by 2ish, not sure of the distance. they assured us to come on ahead as there were only 3 couples registered. we arrived at 2:05 and were literally told to "go away" and come back at 3. we asked if we could have lunch only to find out they don't serve lunch on "check in days." so we drove 35 kms to the nearest town, nothing was open. we bought a loaf of bread and some cheese at the general store. so here are the 3 questions we asked when we booked; can we bring wine to our table; do you have hot tubs; can we upgrade our room. answer number 1; yes you can bring wine to your table. we proceeded to do so and that's when they advised they have a $35 corkage fee .... for a $15 bottle of wine and their wine sells for $80. Yes, they have hot tubs only to find out they are not open in the winter months. Yes, you can upgrade your room for $75 only to find out they charged us $150. we disputed that charge at check in - the receptionist went across the lounge twice to talk to "the boss" in her office who clearly knew we were displeased but did she get up off her butt and come out to assist in sorting out unhappy customer? Nope. she sat in there listening to the whole encounter, never so much as glanced our way even though we could see her! They wanted to know the name of the Nomi staff who told us $75 ... did we think to ask the name of that staff member? No, we did not , just knew it was a male. So they refused to honour $75. . We said okay, we decline the upgrade and request a "regular" room. the equally frosty receptionist said no, our room was prepared and we had to take it. Now get this .... there were 3 couples in the entire facility, it was pretty much EMPTY but they refused to move us to a regular room. I have to say dinner was spectacular BUT we have stayed in that area for many years and been to Nomi for dinner only. The menu has not changed in three years. The owner/manager needs some courses in customer service and tone down the haughty attitude The receptionist's should take the same courses. the only reason i'm giving a 2 is dinner was good.

Hotel's Favourite
Just returned from Nomi for fall colors. The area is beautiful right now. but Nomi is somewhat of a diamond in the rough. Perhaps it is low season because we found from reservation to arrival that they were understaffed. We had to give a pre arrival time, we had to book dinners and lunches before arrival, and "couple" spa services had to be consecutive as they only had one attendant. The foyer was nice and smelled wonderful, but there was no dedicated front office staff and one was always waiting and looking around for someone whenever you needed something. We got the best room they had, it was wonderfully large with beautiful views and the furnishings were new, bedding/pillows, robes and towels were soft and wonderful. The con's were a lot of dead flys on the floor, some signs of wear already (fraying carpet, melted fridge), a hard bed, the layout was odd with what seemed like the next rooms bathroom fully in our suite and our bathroom was ALL windows so not very private, dated and the vanity was falling off and propped up with what seemed to be a broom handle. AC worked but I think would have struggled in the summer. Had issues watching the tv, it kept saying we were not connected - wifi was sketchy - but were able to watch movies on the ipad they leave in the room though it kept buffering as well. We talked to others that had the "wagjag" room and were told it was horrible, so all in all happy with our room. The price I found was excellent for what you got, mind you do have to pay for everything else. Canoe, bikes, even the firepit at night which we were told would be lit that night for free anyway. The resort is not on the water which was a bit misleading - the lake and canoes are about a five-minute walk down a dirt road with all the paddles and life jackets in tow. The trials are across the road and horribly marked. The trail head is blocked off at the road with a wire across the opening and two signs stating private property and no trespassing. But once you go in about 10 feet you can see the Nomi trail sign hiding behind a tree. After that it is very sketchy which "path" is actually one of the trails. There are two and they don't go to anywhere scenic but if it's a nice day it is a vigorous walk up and down hills. We later learned from a guest; it is best to go down the road by car to pick up the high falls trail outside of Nomi. The "bar/lounge" seemed to be unstaffed. There was no alcohol served at Nomi, so it was BYOB. The restaurant was nicely decorated - a few chairs had seen better days - but all in all nice. The food was mostly very good, but somewhat cold. Besides the steak and fries (which were soooo good), I would definitely say most food was premade and reheated. Brochette was hard as a rock, Ceasar salad good, onion soup cold but good, Indian Channa and mushroom linguine were good but again just warm not hot. The short ribs were very good as was the bread pudding for dessert (and then again for breakfast, dipped in egg and served as "french toast" - not exactly banana/ berry as described on the menu). Omelet good but just warm, eggs and bacon good but homefries barley warm. They have french pressed coffee and wonderful herbal teas. Overall very good food and value, bit more attention to temperature. I can't really say anything about the spa as we tried to book two RMT messages at the same time and could not. I changed one appointment to a non-RMT service but then twice was booked concurrently only to be later changed to consecutive services as they only had one person to attend. We booked way in advance as well. It was suggested the person waiting could use the sauna ...at a price. But decided to just cancel and enjoy the outdoors instead. All in all, we had a good weekend. At check out some things were overcharged on the bill while others were missed - all in all it worked out even but I would check your bill well before you leave as they don't make you sign for anything at the time and gratuities are automatically added in the end. Not sure we would return as I like to try different places but a solid 3.5 stars - 4 star given the amenities of resort and time of year we booked as compared to price.

Thank you, Sue, for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience with us. Wonderful to hear that you were happy with your room, and were able to take in some of our outdoor adventures. We are sorry to hear that there were a few things that impacted your stay with us. We trust our dedicated team of staff members were able to assist you in a timely manner. The hospitality industry was heavily impacted by the pandemic, and as a result, staffing our resort proved difficult at times. However, we all made the best of a challenging situation and are excited to share all of the positive things that we have been working on since your last stay with us. We would love to have you back, when you are ready, to show you all the amazing things we have been working on – including our fully upgraded rooms, suites and condo studios and new outdoor spa, steam room, modern sauna and luxury spa treatments menu.

Nomi Resort Club was everything I needed for the weekend. My partner and I came down for the weekend to spend some time together and from the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed. From the food to the drinks which - which were outstanding... to the activities we chose, it was all an experience to remember to say the least. The staff were so friendly and the massages we got were out of this world. I can't wait to go back!

Such a beautiful experience. Our room was incredible we did not want to get out of bed. The food was perfection, every meal was a 10 out of 10. The amenities were amazing, we did the sauna, steam room and outdoor pool which we all enjoyed. Then spent the rest of the afternoon around the fire. In the evenings they have a lounge which was so much fun! I highly recommend. Can't wait to go back in the summer! This place is luxurious and the staff is so friendly. We really enjoyed our stay

I visited NOMI this week with a friend for a night away. I had no idea what to expect prior to arrival. The area is stunning - even well into winter with little snow the evergreens are tall and gorgeous, the resort was tastefully decorated. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a lovely young lady at the front desk. She provided me with all information and offered tea or coffee. I made myself comfy in the atrium and awaited my friends arrival. Once she arrived we made our way to our rooms to drop our belongings. I was so impressed by the rooms. The beds are so comfortable, the linens are clearly very new. The bathroom was stocked with high quality soaps and lotions - and a Dyson hair dryer! Nice touch. We headed down to the restaurant for dinner and Chef Hugo created magic for us. The ambiance of the dining room was lovely. I ordered the gin cocktail - unreal. My friend had the whiskey one. We ordered salad and crab cakes (I think) - both were great. I cannot say enough positive about the dining experience. Truly world class food - I travel regularly and can say this was one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. The resort staff eagerly setup a fire for us to make s’mores later in the evening. It was all in all a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back

Room was lovely and clean, and the resort is on a great property with beautiful scenery. We had a few spa treatments with Joy, she was wonderful and attentive and I had such a relaxing massage. The trails were breathtaking with all of the autumn colours. Lots of things to rent/do, we rented a paddleboard on the lakeside (just a short walk from the resort). Restaurant is wonderful, and the food is to die for- definitely worth coming up to try out Lands8Fifty.

Hi there, The chargers that we use here at the resort are designed for our in-room iPads and are attached to our walls with special wall-mount brackets. Unfortunately, we have photo evidence that the charger was broken and the wall bracket was torn from the wall. We are very excited to share that NOMI is building a collection of recreational dwellings, resort-style condominiums and urban loft villas, inspired by their rustic surroundings and reflecting the height of modern opulence. Currently, these dwellings are being built on the property. There has never been any restrictions to accessing the waterfront. It's accessible by the path on Elephant Lake Road.

Coming from Toronto, taking the less crowed local roads, 507,503,118 & 648. The drive is worth coming up this north. Curves after curves, beautiful paved roads just continues. The staff is beyond just nice, they really have hearts and want you to have a good time at the Resorts. As a dog friendly hotel, I totally forgot to pack my dog's food. The staff ensure my dog fed well, they even offer her beef steak.... The food is another level, must try their Braised beef short ribs, is just melt in your mouth. Make sure you ask for their special cocktails... you will want more than just one for sure. Spa is excellent, my wife's shoulder is very tight and not able to move her arms that well, so she had a therapeutic massage, and after the massage, she can hit me in my head while I am driving too fast to get into that corner on our way back home.

Overpriced and a 20% gratuity was added to the bill. Self billed as a "world culinary experience" it was good, even very good but it wasn't "world culinary". The dinning room can seat 40+/- and on a Sat night in June there were 8 people seated including us (party of 2). We had a beet salad, bruschetta, a prosciutto wrapped chicken and mash with a hint of curry. Very tasty. And a mushroom chicken fettuccine that was also above average. We each started with a cocktail and also had dessert and coffee. So far so good ? Our waiter was awesome, chatted with him quite a bit and he was did everything he could. Hard to create a great atmosphere in a big empty space. Not a big deal. What rubbed us the wrong way: 1.) 20% gratuity added to the bill (i would have given more if offered the chance) but adding it withouth my knowledeg or consent got under my skin. 2.) As we entered the building a sales pitch to buy a condo on the property (we just came for dinner!) 3.) Cost. No wine and it was $211 (including the 20% gratuity they decided I should pay). At best this was a $120-$140 meal. Next time we go out for dinner in the Haliburton area we'll go back to Rhubarb Restaurant. They offer everything Nomi 8Fifty does but better.
