As always Hotel Z does it. Loved the lobby, the walk to the mudflats, the sauna, the driftwood car. Great room. Only issue the handheld shower had absolutely no pressure to it. The rain shower dead was ok

Hey Marlies, thanks for the groovy review. We absolutely love hearing back from past guests, especially when they have suggestions for how we can do better! We will surely see what we can do to improve the water pressure for the future. Stoked that you took the time to check out all of the onsite amenities. Come back anytime!

Really great for family or groups. So many activities to do on the property including a sunken lounge with board games. A private room with a table to play cards or board games with friends, a mini disco, seceret arcade behind a trap door book shelf, ping pong table, playground, mutilple fire pits, a walk down to the mud flats, a massive hot tub/sauna and bike/surf rentals and surf lessons available in house! They also have a spa area you can book. The restaurant in the restaurant also has fantastic food. If you are looking for a truly unique experience I would highly recommend Hotel Zed Tofino!

The hotel's exterior and interior design are not very elegant, the bathroom design is uncomfortable, and the device for putting bath gel is easy to fall off. I think it is better to stay in a motel not far away. The cost performance is not high.
