Bayview Wildwood Resort, Ascend Hotel Collection

Stayed here for 3 nights in a 2 bed suite which was perfect for families. One room had a small couch and dining table which made it easy when we got takeout food from the B&W market. My daughter loved the kids club and it gave us a few hours to ourselves each day. The outdoor pool is small and was a bit crowded but good overall. The small beach area is great, with paddleboards and kayaks available plus an inflatable waterpark! I used the gym for a workout, it's very small but nice to have the option. We did not use the indoor pool. The reason this place only gets 4 stars is the food in the restaurant, it's average at best and it very expensive for what you get. We preferred the takeout food from the market. Overall, a really enjoyable stay and would return.

Good location Too close to the train tracks - noisy

BayVieux WildWood is brilliant

I found this resort by chance and i decided to book it for a few nights after i rwad the reviews. I can honestly say it was excellent, the staff was kind, the rooms very pretty and comfortable. Access to a heated pool and a beach was icing on the cake. View of the lake was stunning. My kids didnt want to leave so that says it all. I already book for next summer!!!!

Ambiance is good, but the water of the lake is not that clean

This is the perfect getaway for our family! It’s our time to unplug and unwind. The beach is always a blast with the inflatables and fishing. We enjoy the pool and activities! No night is complete until we gather for all the planned entertainment! Our grumpy teenagers were caught smiling and laughing!

We are long time returning guests. We stayed for a week and our visit was almost perfect except for quite a few dining room issues. The resort looks amazing, nice landscaping, very clean, our cottage was perfect for our family, rec program is great, office staff is friendly and helpful. However, the food this year was hit or miss. Breakfast and lunch buffets were generally good- except some finishing touches were missing - like topping for the tacos- no sour cream, lettuce, etc. or sauces for the egg rolls, etc. -just small things that should have been included. Also, it might be a good idea to require parents to accompany children at the buffets. We saw a group of little guys put their mouths on the lemonade spigots and lick the jars, and touch all the desserts. Dinner was our main issue. More traditional dishes would be appreciated. And what we did order was overcooked or small portioned- literally 3 slivers of sausage in the tortellini dish. We actually went out to dinner 2 nights while at the resort due to the choices that were offered. Also, although the wait staff was friendly and attentive, we had difficulty communicating our needs at times. And unfortunately, I hate to say it, lots of body odor issues which is not something you want to experience in the dining room. And finally, lunch was not served on the Sunday but is provided in the snack bar for guests. However, when we went to the snack bar to order, the staff had no idea what was going on. When the situation was finally resolved and it was determined that yes, we get a lunch it took 2 hours!!! for chicken fingers, burgers and fries....We have rebooked for next summer, we love the lake and the resort itself. However, we are unsure if we will be getting a meal plan again or cooking our own meals. Bayview is known for it's amazing food, but this year, it just wasn't up to par. Hopefully, these issues can get resolved.

This site is stunning and the staff were incredible hosts for our conference week. We truly enjoyed our experience. The food is delicious and serving staff were efficient, kind, and thoughtful with the guests. Would love to visit again in the future
