I have to share - after four trips over two years for staying, using the spa, and the Cedar dining room I just have to say - year over year the place continues to refine and improve. I have stayed in the cabins and enjoyed that immensely but now stay at Tanglewood (beachsidegetaway.ca) down the beach. BUT Tigh-Na-Mara is awesome... More

I picked T-N-M based on the reviews on tripadvisor. I wanted a nice getaway with my wife, so I chose the Oceanview Deluxe Suite. Check-in was quick and efficient. The clerk gave us an outline of amenities, and showed us the lay of the land on the map [it's quite spread out]. She carefully circled in ink the times the... More

The resort is tucked away in the woods and is very quiet and peaceful. I was here for a conference and the staff were all very nice and helpful. I stayed in the cabins which make you feel like you're out at the cottage, with decent living space. A 'must-do' is to go to the beach at various hours throughout... More

I go to this resort several times a year and enjoy the spa immensely. I will make this short. I found the Resort and the staff outstanding, not only did they do everything to make my stay wonderful they went above and beyond my expectations. I had a fantastic vacation with great service, food and the spa is fantastic I... More

Loved lots of things about this resort, such as the quaint cottage, large comfortable bed, access to the beach, but there were a couple of items that we were disappointed with. Our shower was below standard, the kitchen sink had more pressure. Our biggest complaint was with the wifi. We were very disappointed when attempting to access the wifi in... More

I had seen a lot of the reviews for Tigh-Na-Mara and they are mostly favourable, so when we booked a stay through a Travelzoo deal, I was expecting something pretty special. While we went to Tigh-Na-Mara on a discounted travel offer, I expect the business is using such a vehicle as an opportunity to create repeat and referral business. We... More

I recently took a trip to the Tigh Na Mara resort with my family. I usually stay at the Beach Club resort but as we wanted to take our dog this time around, we decided to give this resort a try. We had heard great reviews about this resort so we had high expectations. Unfortunately our experience was not a... More

Thank you very much for posting your feedback. Your concern is understandable considering the number of issues you've listed. Yes we do welcome pets year round in our log cottages. There is a one-time $30 fee. We do deep clean each room after departure as well as offer a little welcome surprise for your dog:) We have invested this spring... More

The only bad part about Tigh-Na-Mara is the sadness you feel on the day you leave. The location is ideal with an amazing beach right on the doorstep. Very relaxing place with a ton of space for privacy. It feels like you are in a very remote location but you are actually within close range to some amenities. If you're... More

We stayed at the Spa Bungalows at Tigh-Na-Mara resort, which are across the street from the actual resort so no view to the ocean, but the bungalows are very nice, clean, have all amenities in them, including kitchen and dishes, etc. Beds were comfortable, however, we could hear our neighbours as the units are pretty close to each other.
