The room was very clean and we enjoyed the pool and kayaking. However given how rainy the climate is and how often the pool is usable during the whole year, we would have preferred to have a hot tub. Otherwise the resort is one of a kind, we were amazed by the view and how incredible the staff was.

It was a family weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday but it didnt feel special. Neither the resort or the restaurant mentioned anything about our special weekend. The carpeted rooms felt dingy and there were hair n the living room and washroom. On top of that there was a brown stain on one of the towels. The highlight was the complentary kayaking and the ocean view from our family room.

The location was very nice. Maintenance of facilities was poor. Exterior wooden surfaces needed repair and the repairs attempted were not well done. The stairs from the lobby to the pool level were steep with tred width well below Canadian building code standards the last 35 years or more. Steps between various levels on the pool level lacked any indication of the offset, not in compliance with current safety standards. In our room, 8 out of 14 lights were either burnt out or Mon functional.

Such a wonderful property with incredible ocean views - very quiet and peaceful. The pool was an added bonus. The only minor maintenance items was the broken seal in the window which concealed the spectacular view. Highly recommend this property to couples, families or anyone seeking the ambiance of west coast living. The dining room was closed for the 2 nights we were there but there are lots of other dining options relatively close by or bring your own picnic to enjoy on your own private deck!

The property and location is gorgeous but for the price the rooms and portions of the property were looking a bit run down and definitely need some maintenance. The front desk and restaurant staff were lovely and kind but the housekeeping/maintenance team seemed to be understaffed and we noticed a few guests complaining to the front desk about this. For the price you're paying these types of issues are not expected and my expectations were higher. We would return if they lowered the price.

Beautiful resort overall. The room was clean and comfortable, the view was great, restaurant was very nice and the foods was really good. There was a wedding while we were there and the music was pumping ‘til late in the evening (which wasn’t expected) so that kinda killed the peaceful vibe, but at least the music was good (LOL). Complimentary kayaks, which was great, though the one my husband got was in dire need of repairs. Pricey resort but nice. On a side note, I had mentioned that my husband and I were there to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary but there was no recognition/gesture to acknowledge this, which I thought was kind of lame given what we paid for our weekend there.

Location is unbeatable however the property is really showing its age. Stayed here a few times over the last 20 years, the main lodge and amenities need some major tlc or overhaul. Staff were nice but didn’t match the nightly room price point. For $500 plus a night I’d expect a lot more, seemed aloof generally. Room in the main lodge was renovated and clean, nice big mini fridge/freezer. Unfortunately when we were leaving we noticed a massive brown stain on the bed sheet, so gross but was at the end so not much could really been done. Not sure how a staff member making the bed thought this was ok, let alone why someone thought the sheet was ok out of the wash. Would we stay again, maybe. The coast doesn’t have a lot of options for oceanfront accommodation. Great spot and peaceful, mostly needs some maintenance to match expectations.
