Villa Eyrie Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Highly recommend this outstanding hotel, was our favorite on our Vancouver Island trip! Stayed in the Master Suites, which were large, decorated nicely & beautiful. The views of the area were gorgeous from the property, as well as from our room. We ate in the restaurant 2 nights. The menu had great variety, food phenomenal. Staff friendly & helpful. Will definitely stay there again if we return to the area."
