We had a great time revisiting the Alexandria Bay area. I highly recommend staying at Capt Thompson resort. The pool area is a nice place to hang out and visit with each other. We had a great meal at Bonnie Castle too. The resort is centrally located so within walking distance to the shops and boat tours. Enjoy!

A little bit of parking space anxiety, a slow draining sink(they might not have known of) and basic cable that leaves a bit to be desired, it does not take away from the breathtaking views, the clean rooms and the staff that was more friendly and courteous than most people that work for tips. I am very much looking forward to booking another stay here.
