Wasaga Beach boasts of the longest freshwater beach in the world. Its popularity as a tourist destination has been furthered by the accessibility of the town, both by air and by road. Over two million tourists visit Wasaga Beach during summer. There are several new winter activities, and attractions that are being actively promoted, and Wasaga Beach is turning into a true year-round destination. In fact, it is one of the few places in the world where you could be surfing on one visit and skiing the next time.

A growing problem for tourists visiting places like Wasaga Beach is the seemingly dwindling number of places to stay. But in truth, the number of hotels, cottages, motels, B&B’s, and other lodging options has gone up. The inability to find a good deal on hotel rooms can often be traced to the reluctance or even inaction on the traveler’s part. The solution is simple then – do not expect to walk in and find rooms waiting for you at prime locations. Here are some ways that can help you find the best hotels in and near Wasaga Beach, Ontario, Canada.

It can be helpful if you decide what kind of place you want to stay in. The top of the line resorts can turn your holiday into the most opulent affair you could imagine. The price will reflect it too. For a pocket-friendly option, consider options like B&B's, Inns, Motels, and Cottages – the names may vary, but most do not strictly follow the classification. You will easily find excellent rental cottage homes with ample space to park your car. Look for reviews and descriptions from people who have stayed there in the past. There are dozens of websites that provide such services, and you may be glad you checked before booking a room.

It is easy to book online, and the deals may seem lucrative too. But, they can always be sweeter. Unless your heart is set on a particular hotel, make a short list of a few hotels that match your needs and call them. If the hotel is a part of a chain, call the location directly and not the toll-free number. The idea is to fish for better rates. This may be hard during the peak season, but you will be surprised how often this can net you a better deal. If you do not gain a financial advantage, you may be able to work in complimentary spa sessions or meal coupons. Calling them directly will also give you a good idea about any details that may not be listed online. The swimming pool may be out of order, or they may not allow pets on the property. Extra information is often as good as a better deal.

It goes without saying that opting for the cheapest is not always the best idea nor is booking the most expensive suite. Wasaga Beach still retains a small town charm that is best experienced in its simple and homey offerings from various B&B’s, cottages, inns, and rental homes. These do not lack for comfort despite their no-frills service options. The locations are usually picturesque, and many of them have the space to arrange barbecues on the property. You will still have access to Wi-Fi to share your pictures with friends and family. Some provide optional meals while others come with their own self-service kitchen. There is a lot of variety to choose from and all this at a price that does not leave you hanging high and dry.
