Overlooking the bay at St. Andrews by-the-Sea, New Brunswick, The Algonquin Resort dates back to 1889 when it opened in Canada’s first seaside resort town. Enveloped by gardens and sea views, and just ten minutes’ walk to the main street, The Algonquin lets you relax on site or explore the many attractions close by.
The classic nature of The Algonquin is maintained in the timeless decor of the rooms, some of which feature private balconies where you can watch the sunrise. Photographs of the original resort are dotted around the building, giving you an insight into its past.
The spa boasts a peaceful seaside setting and promotes wellness and rejuvenation. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools, along with a three-tiered waterslide, make the resort popular with young families.
The 18-hole golf course has won awards for its design and is ranked among the top 100 in Canada. The course looks out across Passamaquoddy Bay and is suitable for players of all levels.
OUR OPINION:
The Algonquin takes in views of the bay and is closely tied to the history of the area. We enjoyed exploring聽the walking trail around the property and spending some time at Katy鈥檚 Cove 鈥� a private beach.
