What guests say
7.9 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 380 guest reviews
Long Cove Resort and Marina wins consistent praise for its serene lakeside setting, colourful cabins, and restorative atmosphere — the majority of guests say they would return. However, recurring maintenance issues undermine the experience: a rutted access road, unreliable Wi-Fi, plumbing problems, and an out-of-order pool suggest the property needs meaningful upkeep investment to match its natural appeal.
