The beach was the best stretch of beach along the entire bay, original and how a natural lake Michigan beach feels. Not blown out for 300 lawn chairs. A cut fire pit, a hammock in the dune grass.

Dinner at Arie was over $250.00 ...the sea bass was about 3 ounces with no seasoning, the elk loin was barely edible...menu was very limited. when we informed our server that the steak was not good, they credited our salad. the steak was $82.00 and the sea bass was $58.00. you are definitely paying for the view and not for the quality of the food. keep driving... no food options after 10:00... not even a vending machine. had to go to 2 different floors to get a $4.00 bottle of water...very dissatisfied!

The buildings and property are gorgeous, however we had a less than 4 star experience staying here…read more The female bartender at the golf clubhouse was the rudest employee I've ever encountered in life. She was rolling her eyes, had an attitude, and snapped at us verbally for ordering some basic food and drinks in an almost empty club house. You have to call for room service to come by, we have dirty towels and trash overflowing currently. The staff had the shuttle take us to the pool/beach amenity, and when we arrived it was totally closed due to the wildfire smoke. No one let us know. We were stranded without bathrooms, towels, food or drinks. Finally, I found blood on the wall and our air vent was covered in hair and dust. This is a less than 4 star report in my opinion, with beautiful views and a nice building.

Nice beach, close to the State Park and its beach, and close to several restaurants. However, this is not a luxury resort if that's what you are looking for. It's a bit dated in decor, the service amenities are few, the overall facility is definitely showing its age. If you get a very competitive room rate and you're OK with the older facility it's a good place to spend a week on the beach. If you are looking for an upscale experience, I would look elsewhere.

We booked a home in Grand Haven in March. About 30 days before our trip, they called and asked us…read moreto move our dates a week later. They said the owners wanted to use the property for their daughter. I explained that we are flying from Arizona to Michigan for this vacation so we have airfare, time off work, time off school etc for 7 people. A few days later I received a very generic email stating the property we booked was no longer available. They suggested another property (same town but very different walkability, different bathroom count, different setup). Had I cancelled this late in the game I would have been responsible for 50% payment (mind you I had already paid in full). There was zero concession offered, zero apology, zero kindness. To add insult to the situation, I still receive automated texts regarding my upcoming arrival. So I had to scramble to find another place (with less than 30 days) and pay that in full while awaiting a refund on my first booking. Epic failure in customer service.

This July my siblings and I took our kids on a family trip to stay in an old farm house hosted by…read moreTrue North in Leelanau. The house and property itself were beautiful. However, the house was covered in moths and cobwebs when we arrived, the oven was broken (the oven door would not close/latch and you could see sparks flying inside the oven when attempting to bake-definitely a safety hazard), the dishwasher did no actual washing, I found a beetle in the shower, and there were no sheets provided for one of the bed. We aren't high-maintenance and we had a fairly large group so we brushed those things off. Halfway through our stay we realized there was no where for us to dispose of excess trash once we filled the can-I contacted True North and they stated that there was a dumpster in the driveway (there was not), I took a picture to show them there was no dumpster and they said "Oh the property owner can come tomorrow to get it!" The property owner never showed & at this point we have little grocery bags of trash on the back porch, just waiting for raccoons to come get into them. I had to message again and the next day the property owner finally showed up late in the evening. We also found a freaking THC vape pen buried in the couch cushions when digging through looking for one of our own items that had gotten lost! Thank God one of the little kids hadn't gotten to it!! And more evidence the home wasn't being cleaned very thoroughly. There was also no check out/clean up instructions provided within the home or through Airbnb as is typical with other Airbnbs that I've stayed in- I messaged True North again to ask for instructions so that we could do what was necessary at checkout time. They messaged me one set of instructions through Airbnb & later (2 hours before checkout) I got a whole different set of check out instructions in an automated text message! The kicker then is - I notified them when we checked out that there had accidentally been two items broken during our stay (a small glass pig and a lamp shade that my toddler nephew bumped into). Even though there were a lot of issues with our stay- I'm still an honest person and wanted to take responsibility for the mishaps. They told me they would contact "shortly" to let me know if any resolution was needed. I didn't hear anything else from them for nearly FOUR WEEKS when they attempted to collect $303 and some change!!

The staff was super friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in the door, while the lobby and sprawling yet open hallway compelled us to peruse the guest options (i.e. heated indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, onsite highly rated restaurant, comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering areas, outdoor bar, great coffee stand, etc.). We were surprised by an upgraded room - corner suite due to our special celebration. The room was amazing - spacious, comfortable and with a great lake view, a full and half bath. The workout room is small and leaves a bit to be desired if you are used to a gym, but does the trick for a one-off cardio or strength training. I would highly recommend the Delamar for a romantic getaway, a great place to stay for a wine tour on the Old Mission Point, a family trip, a work trip and more. This is a first rate place that is worth the slightly higher price vs. nearly competitive hotels. Thank you Delamar Staff for an amazing experience!
