Nice place - found the property could use some small general repairs throughout - including in room. Beautiful views, friendly staff. Would stay again.
We had a great stay at Poets Cove on Pender Island. Everything was very clean, the amenities were excellent (hot tub, massage, etc.), and the views were absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect place to relax, escape city life, and enjoy nature. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was amazing, especially the seafood. You can tell they have an excellent chef. Highly recommended!
Beautiful resort.
Room was cosy, clean with a beautiful view.
There wasn’t a phone in the room
We ate dinner in the Aurora restaurant and the food was awesome.
Looking forward to using the pool and hot tub tomorrow morning before we leave
Unfortunately the spa was fully booked on Sunday and not open on Monday so we couldn’t use the steam cave like we had hoped.

Check in staff very helpful. Good food at restaurant. Excellent room.
Clean room-some of the furniture looked a little worn mind you with scuffs and “ dings”-did not deter from the overall comfort of the room which included a cozy gas fireplace. Great views from the little balcony access and an inviting deep soaker tub with well designed separate shower.
The wait staff in the restaurant were very friendly and the salmon dinner that we enjoyed was delicious. Just the kind of relaxing getaway that we needed.
Its an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
The resort is nested in a beautiful bay with a nice marina, where leisurely walk.
The rooms was fairly clean and tidy overall, but carpets do need more cleaning as mentioned by some reviewers.
Staff was nice.
The warm pool, the great view, great service, great food, comfortable rooms and the only recommendation is the hotel room should have included moorage for the boat.
We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. The restaurants were excellent with a good menu selection,well priced with excellent servers. The rooms were well apponyed comfortable and clean. A most enjoyable stay
Warm pool overlooking the ocean. Great food overlooking the ocean and if you arrive by boat a great jumping off point to many islands in the gulf like Saturna, Tumbo, Maine etc.
Awesome place! Loved it. Super beautiful surroundings and pools.. ate dinner in the restaurant and it was fantastic! Service was also top notch. Love finding hidden gems like this !!
Staff were nice but the hotel is in dire need of a deep clean and some TLC. We were put in a pet friendly room without being told and there were huge pee stains on the floor and large scratches on the door and it smelled of dogs. Know it’s an older hotel but a good clean and some minor repairs would go a LONG way. View was amazing from the hotel.

Overall, a great resort and great get-a-way from Victoria. Food was excellent at the pub/restaurant. We would have liked more privacy between the hot tubs in the cottages - a privacy screen or something.

The staff was amazing and friendly.
Amazing ocean views with beautiful sunsets from our deck every night.
The only downside was our room is starting to show its age and could due for an updated remodel.

Excellent location. Rooms, restaurants, pools, marina - well run.
Only inconvenience - the room key cards - too easy to demagnetize.
