Recent Reviews in Vancouver Island

Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"For the price, it was good. The kitchen was well stocked. The room was spacious. The gym had a good selection of equipment. The only disappointments were the small pool (they have a second, grander pool that requires paying for the spa) and we had no success using the non-standard, pay-for-use EV charger; rather than Flo or Chargepoint. We installed the app and followed the directions but we couldn't get it to work."

Thunderbird Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean. Staff was helpful. There was air conditioning as well as heating. Parking available for free. Everything is super nice."

Brentwood Bay Resort - Adults Only (16+)

8/10 Good

"Our stay was relaxing, and they let our small dog stay too, which was great. We didn't eat dinner there because they won't let dogs in the restaurant or bar, even on the outdoor patios. The pool and hot tub and sauna area was great. The hot tub could be a little hotter, but still very enjoyable. They closed these at 9pm instead of 11pm like it says in all the literature and signage. We did eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant. It was good, but very expensive for what we had, and apparently coffee refills aren't included so we ended up with $18 on the receipt for drip coffees... We found a super nice little waterfront restaurant, Azure Pier, within easy walking distance, and they were very welcoming for us and the dog on their outdoor patio with a gorgeous view, highly recommended for dinner!"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oyster Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk person who greeted us was amazing - super friendly and helpful. She was also able to accommodate our early check-in, which we really appreciated. We had a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!"

Naturally Pacific Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This time we stayed for 3 nights - again with our dog. The dog run is a good size for big dogs to get some exercise! I used the spa this time and loved every minute of it. The property is nice, food is good. Hot tub could be a degree or two warmer but that’s just my preference. I will stay again."

THE Beach Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time staying at The Beach Club. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a birthday dinner in the restaurant and the staff and food was great. The room was very clean and well stocked with towels and the kitchenette had real glasses.The beds were clean and comfortable. The hotel provides free parking.The only challenge is there only one elevator serving the tower and at peak times during check in and check out it can be a little delayed. Otherwise the stay was great."
