Sweet ocean front hotel. You cannot beat the view of the water. The pool and hottub were great, though jets didn’t seem to work in hottub. The hotel is older so don’t expect very new looking rooms. Nonetheless, it was a perfect stay for our first visit to cowichan area. We dined at a few restaurants down the way and masthead was our favourite for dinner! Also make sure to grab an epic Caesar from the hotel’s on site restaurant. Staff were friendly. Tricky parking for our big truck but was all good. 10/10 recommend a stay!

Oceanfront Resort feels like home
Me and my husband ended up stranded at the Duncan mall due to the Malahat crash and the room manager sent the night audit manager to come and get us. I've never seen such kindness. This is my 3rd stay here and honestly they might as well be family. If I had all the money in the world I would live here permanently and that isn't even an exaggeration.

Significantly overpriced hotel for what you get. At $500 a night this is way too much for a 2 star hotel. Second, hotel allows pets but make sure you call this hotel and let them know….adding this to your booking comments means nothing. The floors for pets are old, run down and not modern. Smell of old cigarette smoke present. Out of the two receptionists one was very nice, the other as well as the manager were not helpful upon checkin. They didn’t know we had a pet despite mentioning it on our Expedia booking. In the end they wanted to charge us more for an alternate room because of the pet. Absolute scoundrels. Cancelled our stay, lost our deposits on the spa next door and left. Would not return and warn others about poor customer service.
