Very convenient location. Desk person was phenomenal. Didn’t like the room deodorizer. Very over powering and gave us headaches. It was pet friendly and on ground floor for easy access to grass.

pet friendly, clean, AC and appliances worked, shower had hot water, plenty of towels. An older property that has been renovated maybe in the 80s', it has its quirks! If staying in a motel room, remember to bring your own coffee filters, salt and pepper, cutting knives, soap, shampoo, conditioner. lots of wild bunnies! Great location close to the beach.

My partner and I thoroughly enjiyed our stay here. It was a quiet oasis outside of the city! It was about a 20 or more minute drive in to town, it was very scenic. There are great yrails around the area and the food truck outside of the resort was fantastic, as well as the ice cream shop. Will definitely be back in the future!

Cute little cottage that suited our needs for the night. The beds were nothing special but served the purpose. It was clean, convenient, and affordable. Although it was directly on the highway, it was remarkably quiet. Did not visit the restaurant or ice cream shop or coffee trailer nearby but they would've been super convenient too. The whole property looks dated and run down...would suggest an exterior paint job. The pictures online of the "swimming pond" are way out dated as well as it's clearly not functional now. Loved seeing all the little bunnies around the property and saw some peahens and chicks too.

I wanted to share the ebb and flow tides with family that never experienced it before. This site delivered that experience exceptionally. Ice cream and fast food available. We were very pleased with the location. Exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful and quiet with an amazing nature experience
High tide the water was almost to the road

OK place but bad management

My overall lower rating has nothing to do with the facility which is good but with the overall bad management of the facility. I selected this place because I needed a unit with a kitchenette. When I was planning my very long trip in western Canada, I couldn't find anything affordable around Tofino, so I decided to have a second night in Qualicum Beach at the same location. I made that second night reservation the same day as I made my first one. I have travelled extensively around the world and I have sometimes added night at a same location. Each time, that hotel was smart and organised enough to realise that it was the same person making another reservation and simply adding a night to the reservation. However, the staff at Qualicum Bay resort were not organised and smart enough to realise that I had added a second night. This mishap resulted in me having to check-out from my first room and move and check back in to another room in between my two nights. Totally unsatisfactory! Although the rooms were clean and comfortable, we were left with a very sour taste about all the warning notes in the cabins about noise, smoking, or other matters. What's the point to have all these warnings when management staff does not enforce it! On our first night, there was a lot of noise very late in the night in the unit next to ours and more people than the allowable limit. Since there is no management staff on site after 9pm, none of their multiple rules can be enforced. Not good!!

This was a great pit stop for one night on our way UpIsland - it was clean, very quiet and right across the street from the beach. Loved that it was pet friendly and had a big fridge as we were traveling we had supplies with us. My biggest negative comment was that the bed frame had a frame that proceeds out from The bed on all corners and its a tight space - I hit my knee about 5 times so I left with a purple black and blue bruise from hitting it multiple times… I’ve traveled a lot and it’s one f my biggest complaints- should never be that way in a hotel . It was also very bright in the morning - without a sleep mask I would not have been able to sleep for the early morning. If it had been a family retreat for a longer stay I would have been disappointed- but as a travel along the way it was perfect and we will stay there again .
