Rick Batyko
We have been here 9 days drove all over the island and we are lucky to have the best pool bar and food. Paul, Chris and can't forget Kerri bringing out amazing food every time! You can tell the owners care and love what they do. So rare these days, Wyndham is extremely lucky to have these guys running their bar.

The pool bar and in particular CHRIS really made our stay at Limetree AMAZING! What a great conversationalist and he provided such great suggestions for things to do in the area. I hope management values what he adds to the poolside experience for guests. I can't say enough about what an amenity the bar and staff are (Paul too!). Give these guys a raise!! Oh, and the food is equally AMAZING! The ham and fig "Chris style" (bacon and goat cheese) was as life changing as we were warned it would be. Thanks for making our week stay the best vacation we've experienced. Also enjoyed the animals! The only negative I can offer was when they weren't open. Why even bother going to the pool in this case, right?!?

Chris and Paul were the best part of our stay at the Limetree. Chris was more of a concierge than our personal concierge. Their drinks are great, but the way they talk and make everyone feel a part of the atmosphere was the best part. Only reason I would ever come back to the Limetree is to hangout with Chris or Paul at the pool bar. The food is amazing, better than most places we ate on the island. Just overall the best experience was at the pool bar.

Affordable and friendly. The bartender there yesterday afternoon was great, attentive and friendly. The BLT and cole slaw were very good! Hoping to go back again this afternoon. Edit: went again today, drinks were spot on, charcuterie recommended by bartender Chris and it was as great as he said (though I do wish it had had hummus). Chris gave great recommendations for nightlife and other restaurants for dinner. He also remembered my name from yesterday! Would give 10 stars to Chris and the bar and the market too (which has everything you could possibly need …or as the manager said, if they don’t have it, you probably don’t need it!)!

Great food and drinks! Bartender was very friendly and the pool was the perfect temperature. Iguanas, chickens, and ducks like to hang out waiting for food😂 If your staying at Limetree we definitely recommend getting food here over the main restaurant. We tried the ceaser wrap, Caribbean quesadilla, ceaser salad, and the club. All of the food was so yummy! I wish I took a picture of all the food and drinks but I didnt have my phone half the time! We also bought meat and cheese inside the store. The store has beer, wine, and different non alcoholic drink selections as well. We bought water there pretty much everyday. They also sell cigars and cigarettes. If you forgot anything they pretty much have it.
Before you hire a pool builder in Ontario
Pool building itself is not a licensed trade, but the electrical work is, and the enclosure permit is mandatory.
Municipal pool enclosure permit
Required in essentially every Ontario municipality, usually before excavation begins. Bylaws specify fence height, gate self-closing and self-latching hardware, and how soon the enclosure must be in place. Enforcement is real and the liability if a child accesses an unfenced pool is severe.
Verify with: Your municipality's building or bylaw department.
ESA notification for pool electrical and bonding
Pool electrical must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, and the metal structure must be bonded. This requires an ESA notification and inspection.
Verify with: The Electrical Safety Authority, esasafe.com.
Check Limetree Pool Bar & Market on the official registerUtility locates before excavation
Legally required. Gas and hydro service lines cross yards at unpredictable depths.
Verify with: Ontario One Call.
Check Limetree Pool Bar & Market on the official registerGeneral liability insurance and WSIB clearance
Excavation near a house foundation carries real risk. Confirm coverage amounts.
Questions worth asking
- What is the total installed cost including electrical, gas, decking, fencing and landscape restoration?
- Who pulls the enclosure permit, and when must the fence be up relative to excavation?
- Which licensed electrical contractor are you using, and will I receive the ESA Certificate of Acceptance?
- What is the realistic installation window, and what happens if it slips past the season?
- How is my deposit protected, and what is refundable if you cannot start?
