One of our favorite spots to stay, and we've been all around the world! We're returning to the KL in August or September, and it's the highlight of our summer. Fabulous views, trails, food, rooms, local attractions, and its people are its true gem! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your wonderful employees Heidi & Nancy (not sure of last... More

We just returned from our weekend getaway to the Keltic Lodge for a Murder Mystery and while we didn't fully participate in the game (we were far to side tracked by the absolutely beautiful weather, hiking trails, and scenery), we had the most wonderful weekend thanks to an amazing team of staff members! Besides loving the property, great food, lovely... More

My husband and I spent this past weekend at the Keltic Lodge Resort. Although it is a beautiful place, including the grounds, the rooms really do need to be updated.The pictures they show on their web-site are nothing like the room we stayed in. Maybe the cottages are different, but the lodge rooms are really dated with the exception of... More

My family and I were there in August. The location was picture perfect. Unfortunately the rooms were dated and certainly overpriced even though it included a nice breakfast. Most of the employees were university students who didn't seem to care too much for precision. The fitness centre was composed of a treadmill and a step machine in the corner of... More

The location is gorgeous - on a narrow spit of land with the ocean on both sides. An excellent trail to the end of the point and wonderful views. The room was average at best and way overpriced. The side 'room' with a dresser and a place for luggage is a real asset. However, the TV itself was antiquated and... More

The scenery is beautiful and the hotel ofers first rate service and amenities. Great food in the dining room and at the banquet, well-appointed rooms and public spaces as well as excellent meeting spaces. All in all, a great place to stay. The golf course is one of the best and is in great condition. More

You cannot beat the views along either coastal approach to the Lodge. Magnificent. The rates @ to stay in the rooms of the main lodge are too high; see the room before you buy! I heard many comments of the so-so satisfaction from guests who stayed in the guest cottages. So before you purchase, carefully check out the room you... More

My husband and I were really disappointed with Keltic Lodge. The grounds are beautiful, however the rooms are really unpleasant. We rented a cottage and it was extremely outdated as well as dirty. Our jacuzzi and shower were very dirty, obviously not wiped down or disinfected in quite a while. Also, we had very uncomfortable foam pillows, which for this... More
