I have stayed a Blue Fin before and it was better. We should have been told about the many stairs for our unit which was very crowded and had not a chair.

Beautiful stay at the Bluefin Bay

The room was clean and comfortable. Had all the amenities we needed. We ended up needing to bring our dogs and they were able to accommodate us with a pet friendly room. Our dogs were very happy here as well! We enjoyed the bluefin grille and the coho cafe. The outdoor hot tub was a treat to enjoy with a beautiful view of Lake Superior. We would stay here again.

Our room was located within walking distance of both restaurants. Our waiter at the main one was great, very personable and efficient. We were only there 1 night but want to go back again for a long weekend. Definitely recommend the Bluefin Bay!

The service at the Grill was utterly chaotic, with items delivered out of order or not at all until servers (there were several, and it was never clear whether anyone was in charge) were reminded. The food at the Grill was unremarkable at best. Service, food, and prices were much better at the bakery.

For a “spa” resort it was nice. Only downside is there was a family with young kids…no problem. However certain areas were left unmonitored and the actual PARENTS werent being considerate of where they were at. Potentially should be a certain age + resort being that its a “spa” resort. Example - in the outdoor pool - parent throwing a football and hitting random guests (us) in the head without apologizing…and then proceeded to throw in the air sinkable toys by the dozen…resulting in splashing and guests having to leave the area. No staff to address in the area. Lock doors also sometimes didnt work, maintenance maybe a bit behind.

Two night minimum is frustrating when you’re paying $500 a night. I think this place is way too expensive for what you actually get. We were in a 2 bedroom suite. Had to take two flights of stairs to get to the unit, then once inside the unit, there is an immediate large flight of stairs again. When we go to the top floor, the place is very small and broken up. One bedroom had a coffee pot and fridge, the other bedroom had a TV. Both bedroom should have a TV. Bathroom was very small, but tub was VERY large. Toilet was so close to the door! Tub took up way too much room. I think for the cost of these units, they should be set up better or lower the price! I’ve stayed in many, many condos/all inclusive resorts and paid less than what it cost to stay here. Won’t be staying here again.

Many steps to a gorgeous view

We booked a room (41B) on the third floor, up 32 steps from the parking lot. The price was right, and the view of the lake was fabulous. The last flight of stairs -- inside the building -- was very narrow, and the entryway needed a good sweeping. The room itself was clean.
