Our stay was nice in overall. Beautiful garden, the room has everything you need for your stay, staff is super friendly and accommodating. I think a little bit more of a care needed for this place. Our newly renovated room had cracked sink. Whould you live yours like that at home? Probably not. Half of the hangers are broken near sauna & swimming pool. Nowhere to hang your bathrobe.It’s minor, but annoying. Don’t understand, why it is not fixed. Bathrobes themselves are too small for average size man. And sauna was cold to use. Takes quite some time to warm up We enjoyed our stay, but for the price it could’ve been better

Truly ocean front room, spacious and comfortable! Spa and pool were great - clean and staff friendly Restaurant was delicious! Of course a bit of a wait for a table due to less seating space but staff handled it well!

Beautiful is all I can say. The view, the rooms, the property! It was lovely. The bed was very comfortable and we could stare at the ocean. There were many areas to sit and enjoy the views. I loved the bubbling creek with chairs and a fire bowl. There was even live music! One concern was the restaurant was not available unless you booked prior to checking in. The first night we didn’t get dinner till after 10 as they didn’t have room and after a day of traveling and the heat this was a horrible start. We didn’t understand as there were lots of empty tables throughout the evening. We managed to get a reservation for 9:30 for the walk-in restaurant and when we arrived we were not impressed. It took 45 minutes to get a burger, the waitress was not very friendly and overall not a great first day. My husband wanted to leave. In comparison though, after convincing him to stay we managed to get reservations in the fine dining, although at an inconvenient time, the waitress was helpful and lovely, the food was excellent and timely. The views were wonderful. Overall a wonderful meal. It was explained at this time that they were short staffed and the kitchen and wait staff were unable to handle the volume. If we knew we would have reserved before leaving home, so that is my recommendation. The breakfast was also delicious! In the spa area we loved the pool and hot tub and took advantage of the hydro path, all of it was wonderfully relaxing. Would do it again!

Great staff for an average hotel
Hotel was great and staff was really polite and accommodating. Beautifully located and the lights in the garden were fantastic. However the beds were really uncomfortable. We went for a relaxing weekend but left with sore backs. Food was overpriced for its quality. We found that eating in Courtenay was of better quality and value. Overall a good stay.
