DELAWANA INN BLOG

For those families, like ours, travelling with tweens and teens, here are the magic words: TWO KIDS UNDER 15 FREE ALL SUMMER! That’s right, where most vacation destinations start charging full adult prices once the kids are 12 or over, the Delawana gives you two kids UNDER 15 free (and some weeks, it’s two kids under SEVENTEEN!) And the Delawana offers a Kids’ Program that teens WANT to go to!

The meals are excellent (Everyone gets breakfast and dinner, and kids 12 and under get lunch as well). The accommodations are old, but clean and maintained well, and kids LOVE the beach area, complete with a water trampoline, iceberg, and other water inflatables. All non-motorized watercraft (canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, etc.) are free to use, as are the pitch and putt golf course, mini-putt, etc. Bikes can be signed out for free, and a sunset cruise on the Miss Midland tour boat is also free to all. Both kids and adults can enjoy free pontoon boat rides that travel a variety of routes through the 30 000 Georgian Bay islands and leave every hour through the day.

We’ve found that we can enjoy a week’s holiday at the Delawana for about half the cost of any other all-inclusive resort in Ontario, and with our two grandkids involved in the Kids’ Program throughout the day, it’s a real holiday for my wife and me, too! If you’re into “luxurious”, then the Delawana isn’t for you (although those who frequent the Spa there[extra cost] would argue the point), but if you can make do with “just comfortable” accommodations, then by all means consider the Delawana for a great family vacation!
