Rodd Brudenell River Resort

The heat couldn’t be turned down and it was so hot. The water literally burned my back in the shower, when the temperature suddenly changed half way through, just thankful it wasn’t my son having a shower, he would have been seriously hurt.

The view can no be beat. Its absolutely incredible. The service at the front desk was friendly and honey feeling. I told the gentleman who checked me in it was my honeymoon and he went above and beyond to help a small suprise for my wife. The room was very clean and bed was comfortable. It is a little dated but very clean and cute.
We ate at the resurant and the food was very good. I look forward to comeing back at some point but make sure to bring your clubs! The course looks beautiful.

Great location, good food, and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was also very friendly and extremely helpful.

Outstanding resort - Stayed there for 6 days
Staff was incredible
Resort was right on the river with beautiful views
Lots of activities including Ebike rentals -paddle boards - pool / bar
We rented ebikes and rode to 3 towns close by with great restaurants
Georgetown/ Cardigan / Montague
Our room had a kichenette so we also bought sandwiches for a quick food option in case
Finally the Golf courses
We paid for a stay and play
Both Dundarave and Brudenell River courses are right on the resort (literally 2 minute walk to either one)
Dundarave is the more famous course and for good reason - it was immaculately maintained with signature red sand bunkers in a parkland style layout - stunningly beautiful
Brudenell River is less famous but in my opinion equally stunning with a unique scorecard of 3 par 3s / 3 par 4s / and 3 par 5s per 9
The course follows the River for several holes with great views
Both courses are challenging but fair with 4 different tee boxes
If you are a golfer Both courses are a must play
Thanks to everyone at Rodd Resort Brudenell for a really incredible and memorable vacation
We will be back
Highly recommended

Just want to provide my own experience. We stayed at the resort in July for two nights. Our room was located on the first floor. We had earwigs in the room. Probably not on issue on higher floors.

We booked through the website on a discounted rate, but we did not qualify for free kids meals.

We returned this week to golf because my son won a free round but we did not stay at the resort. We golfed twilight which should include a cart but was told it wasn’t included because of the free round pass. I had my 10 and 8 year old sons and was also told 3 couldn’t go in a cart. I found the Marshall to be non-existent during the round to keep the pace of play.

I’m a little disappointed because the resort doesn’t offer any little extras to make the experience. We had a much better experience at the Mill River resort (golfing and stay), which is also a Rodd resort.

The facility is nice and there are plenty of amenities. I just feel the service could go a little further.

The hotel is a little dated, but it's clean and in good condition.

They close the bar and restaurants between 10 and 11, so if you want to have a few drinks with friends, go early or byob.

Dommage pour un hôtel pet friendly que les animaux ne puissent pas rester dans les chambres. Nous n avons pas pu profiter des restaurants de l hôtel

This was a middling place. The rooms are clean but dated. We're in PEI but the only seafood on the menu was mussels and fried fish at the 19th hole, or overpriced freezer pack salmon in the hotel restaurant. The one shining star in this place was the staff. They were fantastic, friendly, personable, and genuine. This place is attached to a golf course, which may be the draw. We didn't play, so I can't speak to it. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere. If you're not in the area in full tourist season, everything within 30 minutes appears to be closed.

What a beautiful scenery. We we're at the location for our 2022 conference. Spectacular golf course and very nice small proshop.

Really quite disappointing. We were a large group (40) of golfers and it appears that this resort is having some serious managing issues. We had stayed here several years ago and much better experience. Upon checkin the front desk kept arguing with many of us that some of us were booked for the following weekend, this makes no sense as the trip was all booked by one person but they kept insisting that we were wrong. Then they kept bouncing people from cabin to cabin during the stay and they just kept saying "see us tmrw and we will figure out your room". There was never an apology of any sort or attempt to show their regret for the all of the problems. The staff in all resort areas were poor and I imagine this is part of the problem with getting people to work these days which many businesses are having issues with. Especially considering the size of the group we should have had an upper management visit. The golf courses were beauty, well kept and the staff on the courses were very good. We had one rude starter but no big issue, he made us all go back and get receipts for our round even know we were staying at the resort and no requirement the day before. Not a big deal and most likely policy but his approach could have been more friendly. This eases easily forgotten once we tee'd off on the beautiful course. I sure hope they get things together at the resort but I won't be back to find out.

This place is amazing the courses are fantastic and the view is amazing great place to stay and the staff is very nice

Very great place to stay with activities offered fir the whoe family.kayak, bike rentals.very relaxing place?

Amazing place. It’s in three river town. All is good but they don’t have any EV charging points. And resort staff is very snobby and rude.

Our experience at check-in was good, as was our service in the restaurant for dinner, however those are the only two positive experiences to note.

The indoor pool had bugs all in the bottom and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while.
Our guest room had lightbulbs that were hanging by their wires and posed a serious safety risk, we also found an ancient bag of naan bread tucked behind the microwave.
Breakfast at $18 per person is outrageous - most lower quality hotels offer a better breakfast than this for free. When we sat down for breakfast the servers actively discouraged us from ordering anything from their menu and said they like to push people to go for the buffet. $40 for two people for that breakfast is absolute robbery.
It’s easy to see similar complaints from other guests who have reviewed recently, all with the same standard “we will pass this along to our GM response”.

I had a lovely time here. The rooms were nice, the pool (and hot tub!) were enjoyable, and all of the staff were very friendly. However, this hotel definitely shows its age in some areas.

Stayed here 5 years ago and it was lovely. Now some unfortunate circumstances. The rooms are terribly outdated and no housekeeping for a 10 day stay! (at the full service price I paid for the room). They asked us to put garbage outside the room. One evening with full baskets we called the front desk FOUR times to collect the garbage and it didn't happen! On one occasion we purchased insect repellant at the little shop. 30 minutes later I found some in my golf bag and tried to return it at the front desk. Same guy as garbage situation (hefty bearded) refused. He didn't have the authority? I had to speak to the Manager in the morning? Keith did authorize the "return" and said he would look into it. Kids running up and down the hall shouting one evening at 9 pm. Response from front desk "quiet time is 10 pm. Not sure why front desk staff doesn't have authority to return a $16 unused item. Television was ancient and didn't work properly. Lots of flies in the room. The staff was good about providing towels. Overall the service needs upgrading and staff needs better training in customer service. The golf courses are lovely. Dear owner you can suggest I am not on your guest list (pseudonym) and thank me for my feedback but what you need to do is improve the operation of your hotel. Next visit to PEI will NOT be at Rodd Brudenell. I. F.

To their credit Keith responded to my email in a constructive manner. I should stress the scenery around the resort is beautiful and the golf courses are great.

The restaurant staff is rude. I have stayed at this hotel for weeks while my house was being renovated. I always put guests up at this hotel. We golf and eat at the restaurants. Always a good experience. But never again. I was treated so rudely at the 19th restaurant, I will never return again. Shame on your wait staff for ruining my experience here.

Great location. Very beautiful. Breakfast buffet 20 bucks an adult and 10 for a kid is a bit excessive though. Two of the best golf courses right next door.

Unfortunately not good enough. The place feels old and tired, with room decor and furniture from the 90’s. This meant that my daughter slept on a rickety, sagging pull our sofa bed. My wife and I enjoyed an ancient mattress which bounced the other person off the bed each time the other turned over. The a/c sounded like a 747 spooling up every time it clanked and banged into action.

It’s not very clean either. It feels like it’s had a lifetime of light touch housekeeping but never a proper clean. The photo shows an example of ages of dust waiting for a vacuum. Housekeeping is minimal supposedly for the environment - but not making beds doesn’t help the environment. They came in each day and refilled the coffee and hung the towels but didn’t do any more than that - for example an empty tissue box stood on the bathroom vanity for our whole stay without ever being replaced or even thrown away.

Breakfast is like a Hampton Inn freebie except it’s $18 per plate.

My wife reported that the spa was good.

Unless you’re here for the fabulous golf courses, stay elsewhere. It wasn’t worth the $1100 the room cost us for 4 nights and we feel cheated.

Has to wait 7: 00pm to get hotel room, dissapointed. Nautral experience with staffs, could be more helpful and friendly. Room, hotel and environment are very nice.

Very well kept, sprawling with an awesome scenario, facing the Brudenell river. Has a large outdoor swimming pool, indoor too, badminton court, golf course. A place where old and young can have a time of their lives.

When we arrived check-in was an hour + behind and it was not communicated to us properly, so it was a bit frustrating but aside from that our stay was ok. We had reserve a one bedroom with King size bed and a pullout double. The pullout mattress was terrible but we made the best of it. Our room was cleaned daily with daily towel changes. You can opt not to have this daily. Our outdoor balcany furniture was not very clean so we did not use them. We spent most of our time discovering PEI, so we basically only slept there and used the indoor pool. They have a large outdoor pool as well. There is a so called gym but it's a small space to the pool entrance with a treadmill sand a bike. Nothing much. There is golf, a campground for tents and trailers, bikes, horses and canoes. You can also park your boat.

Beautiful spot, specially if you like musquitoes.lol.

All and all, great experience there for 3 rounds of golf. Very challenging and play long. So if you can whack that ball it is a great course for that.

The restaurant was a little limited but had 3 mains and 3 different apps. All of which were excellent.

We were there for a wedding today the service was excellent the food was even better couldn't say enough about this place looking forward to going back again

This hotel gave us the worst experience of all time for two main reasons. First, they have a big big issue.upon arrival at the property, there were at least 15 flies buzzing in the lobby. I didn’t see any means of bug repellent or trap used here. The front desk person told us they have both flies and mosquitoes so wear bug repellent. However, I didn’t expect to wear repellent in our room! I killed 8 mosquitoes and 1 fly in the night and 3 more mosquitoes the next morning. Most of them already feast on us. Second, the bedding sheets were full of sand. We have been to so many beach resorts around the world and other Rodd brand hotels, never had such issue. Between mosquitoes and sand, no one can have comfortable and relaxing night.

The Hotel has everything to be the best hotel in the area as the space is huge and beautiful.
If only they would take so much care of the rooms, for example, as they do their golf course.

Resort, cabins and golf courses were great. Cabins were extremely overpriced for what we got. Would have looked elsewhere if it wasn't as last minute as it was for our trip.

Golf club, indoor and outdoor pool, room was clean but old fashion. Parking is away from the building.

Decent place to stay. Rooms are clean. Can be a bit noisy as walls seem to be thin an allow noise to travel.

Beautiful hotel and facilities, however too high priced to pay for Earwig infestation. They fall out of behind the showerhead while you shower, behind towel racks, and even show up on your bed while you sleep. Upon trying to kill a few around the toilet, we found a toilet completely riddled with black mold on the underside out of eyes reach, as well as the back wall covered in black mold. Not worth over the $200 a night. Breakfast is the typical hotel breakfast you get for free, however they want $19 a plate and it just isn't worth it, and the food simply doesn't reflect a higher quality hotel, it reflects a cheap hotel. In which this is not cheap prices.

Only thing I didn't like was the couch for morning lounging and rainy day reading. Other than that fantastic place.

Loved the location of the resort. You can see wonderful sunsets (and sunrises if you're an early bird). The staff was helpful too. The rooms were clean.

But the wifi was a big problem. It kept dropping almost every two minutes which made working frustrating.

Si on met de côté le fait que ce n'est pas mon style d'endroit, j'ai été désagréablement surprise par la froideur du staff. Ceci dit, je ne met pas en cause le staff mais le management! Ils avaient l'air tous épuisés et ils étaient présents le soir aussi bien que le matin ce qui montre des grosses journées de travail. Des affiches un peu partout indiquait qu'aucune violence verbale ne serait tolérée envers les employés.well.si tes employés sont désagréables parce qu'ils sont crevés du coup les clients sont déçus. Est-ce que c'est le client qui doit s'adapter? J'ai trouvé la solution un peu étonnante! Recrutez, ou limitez le taux d'occupation si ce n'est pas possible!
Je mets quand même 4 étoiles ici parce que j'ai été agréablement surprise par le service et la nourriture du restaurant du site, le club 19, je m'attendais à de la bouffe de pub mais c'était un peu plus recherché que ça.

Only played the golf courses.they both were in outstanding condition.
PEIs finest golf was true to form.

Grounds were nice but rooms were tired and dingy. Not up to cleanliness standards of other Rodd properties such as the Charlottetown location. Decided to split our 2 night stay in PEI with one night here and one night in Charlottetown, but we regret it.

Indoor pool was small and busy, not enough restrictions in place.

The front desk staff were confused and untrained. Overall would not recommend unless the price is great and you have a need for staying in Eastern PEI.

Nice place but very outdated. The service at front desk is only ok. We were not advised for the extra payment when I booked. I asked why and was told that they do not mention it when booking? We felt like we were a bother when we asked for more towels and body wash. The room was clean enough. And please change the toilets as they are not meant for tall people! And the balconies could use a coat of paint on the railings.
