The power went out in the night for 3 to 4 hours and during that time of security, alarm went off so loudly, we could hear it from our room. It beeped every other second and was constant and loud. We couldn’t do anything about it because the front desk was closed at this time. There was no number to call in case of emergency and the phones did not work due to the power outage to even try to call the lobby, even if the lobby had been staffed, we let a staff member know upon our departure, and they were surprised and unsympathetic. We had a great day otherwise it’s just an unfortunate ending to what would’ve been a pleasant day.

The stove is very outdated. The patio screen was completely ripped. It was very hot when we arrived in our suite and it still taking a bit to cool down. Heat pump would be appropriate considering the amount of money we’ve paid almost $300 a night.

Location is very nice with a unique beach, nice outdoor hot tub and large indoor pool. The gym and indoor pool are nice but wasn’t open in the mornings not until 8:30 for some reason so couldn’t do my morning routine. Also, the restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast so we couldn’t eat anything until lunch time, huge issue. We stayed in the 700 series apartments on the ground floor and it was quite nice, had everything. Beds weren’t the best; sofa bed needs full replacement, and I’d recommend bringing your own pillow unless you want a sore neck. Sleeping felt like a 3 star hotel. We would stay again with carefully planned days and bringing our own groceries but the hotel should open the facilities for normal person timeframes and have at least some option for breakfasts.

Indoor pool and outdoor kids pool and hot tub were lovely. However, they have scheduled swimming lessons on Saturdays st the indoor pool which was a bit problematic for us and the swim instructors were unfortunately less than kind to my 4yo son. He really enjoyed the outdoor pool and hot tub. The door code on it doesn’t work and although we had gotten towels from the front desk (when staff were available there) they did not originally give us the code- but found it with a quick call to them… they then did tell us it is tricky to get it to work. It would be REALLY nice if it operated with the room key as everyone who went into this area seemed to have issues with the code at the door! I guess due to the season the paddle boards and ocean equipment are only available on Saturday and Sundays during high tide (which was 3-8pm) and the only time that would have worked for us was Friday from 3-8pm. So we didn’t get to take advantage of any of the outdoor equipment this trip. They were amazing about allowing us to check in early as we had a super early flight into Nanaimo. I’d called & confirmed a 1pm early check in but no one there at check in - when we did have issues and no one was at the front desk, we did get assistance when calling directly! No breakfast available on site & no coffee cream either. The rooms were fairly clean- drawers beside the bed had garbage, hair and a lot to dust in them, and the grout in the window tile of the shower was moldy. Otherwise clean.

It was a time share kind of property. Fine but nothing special although the grounds and location were very nice. Staff were lovely. Our suite smelled very strongly of new paint so we asked to be moved, which we were. New suite smelled musty but it was ok as weather was nice and we sat on the small balcony mostly.

A huge property. Accessible to the beach but if you want a view ask for a room with a view. Furniture needs a refresh, headboard coming apart, sofa very low. Fridge was making a noise until my husband turned off the ice maker in the fridge. It was not installed. We ate at the rest, which was just ok. Food took an hour to come. Large party they said. Would have been nice to know that as we arrived. The music was TOO loud. Nice beach. Pool ok but hot tub was not working. Rooms were good but you could hear the other guest from inside our room.

Check in was by an un-smiling man who did not appear happy or particularly helpful. He allowed me to see the rate the hotel would charge me which is very much less that what Expedia charged. Your rates that you add to resort is much too high. Restaurant cancelled my reservation for Monday dinner and was not open for breakfast. This was a big disappointment. Room was fine but did not provide water bottles every day and did not have ice making capacity. Coffee was provided, tea was not.
