Qualicum Beach hoteles

Ventajas: Hosts were lovely, friendly couple and made you feel right at home. Food was excellent and large portions! Room was a really good size and bed was very comfortable. Beautiful yard with nice gardens and spaces to enjoy the outdoors.

Desventajas: N/A

Ventajas: The hosts were lovely and told you things to see and do and places to eat in the area. We had been in the area but quite a few years ago and things change. Lovely gardens and driftwood village and gnomes. Quite magical, particularly lit up at night! Breakfasts are wonderful and can keep you going until an early supper. Bed was very comfortable.

Desventajas: There are 2 rooms which share a bathroom at the top of a small landing so you are in close quarters if there is a snorer in the other room. The fan provided - there is no AC which really isn't necessary as at night it cools down - is effective but noisy. We certainly knew that it was a shared bathroom and it wasn't an issue when we were younger but is tougher when older.

Ventajas: Friendly generous hosts, quaint setting, quiet comfortable rooms, nice full breakfast. Gardens were beautiful.

Desventajas: Everything was wonderful. Be aware you will share a bathroom with guests from other room.

Ventajas: Kind and friendly owners, loved chatting with them. Amazing breakfast, they put a lot of care and attention to hosting us.

Ventajas: A stay here is all you could ever ask of a B&B. Comfy bed, yummy food and wonderful hosts. The breakfasts were amazing. We appreciated the variety and everything was so fresh and tasty and beautifully presented. The room was gorgeous and spacious. There were fresh baked cookies in our room every night. The gardens were amazing. So many places to sit and relax with a book. And the gnome village and pond is so cute. We loved staying here and wish our stay had been longer than 2 nights.

Desventajas:

Ventajas: Super breakfast, hosts and comfy room

Ventajas: Very friendly host and hostess, great breakfasts, quiet, easy to walk to beach down the hill, easy to walk to golf course, easy to walk to restaurants nearby. We cycled on mainly flat to Parksville on a non busy cycle route. The old home was very vintage and great ambience.!

Ventajas: Location to the town of Qualicum Beach was excellent,the breakfast was outstanding, and the room very comfortable and homey.

Ventajas: Lovely breakfast; nice spacious room with comfortable bed: good shower. Jayne & Angelo was excellent hosts;

Ventajas: Jayne and Angelo are wonderful hosts. Their B&B is a little slice of heaven and the breakfasts are amazing. This is my 4th year with them and I highly recommend this facility.

Ventajas: The cooked breakfasts by Angelo the host.Very sustantial and ideal to begin the day with before going out to start our day of sightseeing.The room was very large and comfortable light and airy. Parking was available within the confines of the house off the road.

Desventajas: No way to improve .It suited all our needs.

Ventajas: It is central in location to downtown Qualicum Beach and the beach. Our room was spacious with a small, private patio area. The bed is very comfortable. The general guest area accommodates 4-6 people easily and the shared fridge is a bonus. The hosts Jayne and Angelo are friendly, wonderful people. And Angelo’s breakfasts-amazing and filling.

Ventajas: Excellent B&B, a 10 minute walk to the beach and town, and a lovely local forest nearby. The room was large snd spotless on arrival with a small patio area. Breakfast was delicious. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Qualicum Beach.

Ventajas: Breakfast was wonderful, the location was perfect and Jayne and Angelo are lovely hosts!

Ventajas: Pleasant location short walk to beach, restaurants & town centre. Great welcome and nice to talk to other guests.

Ventajas: Nice heritage and well appointed rooms. Very quiet and peaceful. Good location near the beach and plenty of parking. Nice breakfast if a bit basic. Good views over the golf course and sea from the front of the property.

Desventajas: Forest view room looked over the parking lot and maintenance building. Room was a little dark

Ventajas: The staff were welcoming and friendly. The suite was stayed in (The John Wayne suite) was clean, very comfortable and had nice touches like a hand-written greeting, a mini fridge with cold water, and lots of fluffy towels. There is plenty of parking. Excellent breakfast served from 8 to 10am.

Desventajas: No complaints, everything was positive.

Ventajas: Very friendly staff. Clean and comfortable! Breakfast was delicious!

Ventajas: Breakfast was good.

Desventajas: This hotel is not as good as it thinks it is - the staff upon arrival was unfriendly, there seemed to be an attempt to give us 2 forest view rooms despite us having booked and paid for an ocean view room, the actual forest view room (the notorious room 214) had no windows and was very dark, the general level of maintenance in the rooms was poor (ceiling fan not working, bath plug not attached to chain, curtains not hooked, wheels on furniture fell out when moved, windows cannot open because rope broken, old/weak batteries in remote control etc.)

Ventajas: Grand old property beautifully maintained

Ventajas: This is a great place to come and stay ! Great old classic style. The reception was warm and welcoming and helpful with great recommendations for diner. The room was large and the bed was crisp , the WiFi worked very well and the room was air conditioned . The Continental breakfast has amazing, the fresh made on-site muffins were to die for!

Ventajas: The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a minor issue with a noisy A\C unit, and once we informed the staff, they went above and beyond. The continental breakfast was excellent and even included some gluten-free options. My wife and I are looking forward to our next stay!

Ventajas: The room was lovely and the breakfast delicious.

Ventajas: This place matches very well with the name "Crown Mansion". It has a rich history and connection with key people who were instrumental in making Qualicum Beach a desired place to stay or vacation. In its early years, this was a place that noted celebrities had visited and the current hotel and villas would still be considered as inviting as in the past. The hotel continues to be run with an expected high level of excellence and care, from the breakfast to room maintenance, to ensure clients feel welcomed and at home. The location, across from the golf course and adjoining to a heritage forest, was excellent.

Desventajas: We were a little disappointed to discover that the Butlers restaurant, which we had enjoyed on a previous visit to the area, had been closed. However we soon learned that the owners were in-process of re-opening the restaurant, within the next two weeks. From discussions and our observations of this process, it was evident that the restaurant was also to be operated at the same high expectation of excellence, while also ensuring a welcoming spirit.

Ventajas: Exellent located .peacefully and walking pat on the forest beautiful flowers grounds. Special people stay there before. We had Rita Hayward room.very nice memories.

Desventajas: None

Ventajas: The staff were quite friendly and accommodating

Desventajas: Bathroom way too small. Would prefer a more private balcony as the next door people were looking in our windows...

Ventajas: Breakfast was great. Dinner too. Loved the friendly staff.

Desventajas: The bathroom did not have towel racks. The lighting was poor for any amount of reading. The construction across the street was noisy during the day. Hotel could not do anything about it. Government job.

Ventajas: The staff, they were fantastic. Jim was helpful with suggestions on different activities to do.

Desventajas: Pool was rather small

Ventajas: The service was outstanding, the rooms very nice, but not outstanding for the price point and needed some minor maintenance.

Desventajas: Thought the descriptions were somewhat misleading compared to the product.

Ventajas: The beds are comfy and they’re clean.

Desventajas: The property looks like a giant cactus club.!They lie about their dinner menu timing and close the kitchen whenever they see fit. Their restaurant hostess was extremely rude about this and didn’t even suggest an alternative in the area. We are out of the gas station next door for our anniversary. Cheers guys!

Ventajas: Breakfast, and Diner was good, fresh and tasty

Desventajas: Parking can be a bit of an issue,

Ventajas: Close to beach area.

Desventajas: Price, way over priced compared to others I stayed in, no elevator or continental breakfast.

Ventajas: The attentiveness of the staff was quite extraordinary. Quick and courteous is their go to. It is so nice to experience service of this caliber.

Desventajas: Such a shame they developed the hotel with a parking lot blocking the view.

Ventajas: We liked the patio and swimming pool as well as great staff.

Desventajas: The food at the restaurant wasn't really good. The mussles were not fully cooked. There were broken glasses on the floor but the waitress didn't clean it up even though we mentioned it.

Ventajas: Fantastic location, great staff, wonderful bed

Desventajas: Feel it would be nitpicking to come up with any.

Ventajas: Comfortable and very well presented room.

Desventajas: Shared balcony and rooftop view.

Ventajas: Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Pictures were lovely and unit was clean. A few plastic forks and knives would have been nice to have while eating take in food. Outside was lovely with the flower baskets.

Desventajas: Toilet seat was needing to be replaced or fixed. First time sitting it moved and kept moving the whole time and we are are big woman. I weigh 120 and my daughter 135. When I booked I was told it was the last unit but clearly it was not as there were several units that were empty so felt like I should not look farther to loose out. Price was expensive for one night and being at the beginning of the strip, but other wise no complaints.

Ventajas: The staff were so friendly and accomadating It was super clean.....great value. Inside the room was the perfevt setup.....beds were on opposite sides of the room Almost a separate room really Will stay again

Desventajas: Nothing....it was perfect

Ventajas: Amazing front desk staff! So helpful and friendly. Very clean room, comfy beds.

Desventajas: The a/c could not keep up with the heat, it was very warm in the room.

Ventajas: Spacious room, attention to detail, very clean!

Ventajas: We came into town early and the staff was super friendly and let us check in early. Very clean room and cozy! Walked to tigh na Mara for dinner. Perfect!

Desventajas: Nothing!

Desventajas: Quality of usual motel. Price of a good resort.

Ventajas: The location is nice if u have a car

Desventajas: Very simple , u can add a little bet more to rent in a nearby resorts where there is a pool or some entertainment area plus a breakfast included

Ventajas: The family feel and attention to detail. Loved the garden and trees.

Ventajas: Bonus kitchenette upgrade when we needed a second bed. Though on a busy highway the room was quiet and we had a fabulous sleep. Owners very pleasant !

Desventajas: Had difficult turning on the TV, turns out one of the snarl of plugs wasn't in. Bedroom had NO outlets, should put in one of the lamps from the main room which has an inbuilt plug (for a CPAP machine). Had to call the office to find out that the power to the lamps was controlled by a switch by the door... But still would still highly recommend it!

Ventajas: The room is really big, with 2 comfortable beds. Location is great, easy access by car and bus. Even though the motel is right on the road, the windows really block the noise from outside and you can’t hear anything! Wifi works well and also there’s a fridge and a microwave in case you need it! Great breakfast place right across the road.

Desventajas: The fan in the bathroom could be a little better, it does feel quite humid in the room after shower... but nothing that open windows can’t fix.

Ventajas: Right on the water, fantastic views!

Ventajas: The manicured yard is a great compliment to the unbeatable view! The owners put a lot of thought into making the outdoors comfortable: tables and chairs, covered patios, loungers snd barbecue, private exit to the beach. The room has everything you need: fully stocked kitchen, very clean!

Desventajas: I booked a 2 bedroom, and appreciated beds in separate rooms, but our suite was not a true 2-bed: one bed is located in the open space in the living- kitchen area.

Ventajas: Loved the view of the beach from the big bed and the sofa. Loved the private deck, and the patio furniture. Also loved the quietness and peace. This is our new go-to place for decompression in Qualicum Beach.

Desventajas: The sofa was sagging.

Ventajas: I loved the spectacular view from our balcony and the closeness to the beach. It had a cute little garden area. It had a little area where you could go into the beach almost felt like your own private beach. It was close via car to the village about a 5 min. drive. It was clean and cute!

Desventajas: I didn't like that there were people below us out in the balcony smoking one evening and we couldn't eat out on our balcony because the smoke came up into our room we couldn't even open our balcony door. I also did like that when we were greeted we weren't given much information regarding places to eat or restaurants nearby. It has a few restaurants close by but not a lot of choice.

Ventajas: Loved the location and beautiful gardens.

Ventajas: Fantastic location for the wedding we attended Backyard grounds/gardens and furniture are fabulous, backing onto the water Front appearance is deceiving on arrival....don't let that deter Highly recommend....not cheap

Desventajas: No milk product for morning coffee

Ventajas: The location was near a public beach and good restaurants. The suite was exceptionally clean and comfortable. A lot of little details were included. Comfy club chairs with stools. Plush towels and plenty of them. On the balcony there was a table with umbrella and chairs for morning coffee. Parking right out front of unit. Beautiful grounds with rose gardens and potted plants and ambient night lighting overlooking Strait of Georgia.

Ventajas: The unit we stayed in was very clean, very comfortable. The hosts were great! Location could not be better.

Ventajas: This incredible little place is a hidden gem on the Qualicum Beach oceanside road! We loved our stay - the Malaspina Suite 106 was spacious and comfy with all the amenities we could have asked for, coffee and tea included. Beds were so pretty and comfy. Cool air through the screens thru the night and hot sun in the morning. The outdoor common areas are abundant, well kept, and so peaceful for an evening BBQ and morning coffee. The views and walkout ocean access were such a special treat. Wish we could have stayed longer, but hope to return soon. You are sure to love this incredible retreat!

Desventajas: Everything was just perfect. ❤️

Ventajas: Love the mountains and sea.

Desventajas: The cot was broken carpet filthy

Ventajas: Host was very friendly and gave me lots of information about the area.

Ventajas: Beach

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Everything is prepared in a way to make you feel @ home

Ventajas: Bed was comfy

Desventajas: Breakfast items Washing dishes in bathroom sink Messy outdoors

Ventajas: It was very clean and well equipped

Desventajas: Some fruit and yogurt would have been welcome additions to breakfast that consisted of toast and Quaker Oats.

Ventajas: Location was great - a walk to the beach

Desventajas: The room needs a makeover, too much clutter

Ventajas: Close to everything and just as described. The host, Karen is very personable and added extra value to the stay

Ventajas: We felt very welcome by our gracious host, hotel employee and our room was well equipped.

Desventajas: My only criticism was the fact that sound carried from an upstairs suite, particularly the squeaky floors.

Ventajas: Very clean and everything was replenished daily e.g. breakfast items, face cloths, towels. Beds were comfortable with good light for reading. Our host Karen was very nice and knowledgeable about the area, giving us suggestions on things to do and the history of some of the places nearby like Judges Row Beach and the Heritage Forest.

Desventajas: There was an odour upon entering that was somewhat musty. This happened whenever we would enter the property not just initially when it had been closed up. Opening windows and running fan helped to eliminate this. The couch was dated and soft and not very comfortable. Could use an update. The deck to the upstairs unit was really only a landing and not much of an ocean view but there were other outdoor seating areas around the property that were available.

Ventajas: Privacy was great. Bed exceptionally comfortable. Very pleasurable to enjoy a place to stay, that had all the convenience you have at home.

Ventajas: Location was good for what we required, owner was very nice

Desventajas: Breakfast was no what we expected for a B&B, thought it would be an actual breakfast. Too many "chochkeys" stuff, in the room, made it feel smaller than it was. Needs to clean up the property to make it more inviting.

Ventajas: Great location! Very friendly and awesome experience to eat breakfast outside!

Ventajas: The location is great! Easy to find. I had an issue with the little fridge (it froze everything) and the staff had it replaced immediately.

Desventajas: The air conditioner was a little smelly. Basic continental breakfast. I brought my own cereal (gluten free) and milk alternative which I kept in the fridge.

Ventajas: Enjoyed the motel aspect of it. Location is prime for Parksville, even though work was in Qualicum.

Ventajas: location

Ventajas: We didn't expect to have a breakfast at the motel, but we did take a muffin and some juice from the outdoor setup area. Very nice!

Desventajas: Nothing really stood out as far as what we didn't like. We were very pleased with everything really!

Ventajas: Large room Large Bex Clean Very nice staff Nice continental breakfast in the garden Washing Machine

Desventajas: Nothing !

Ventajas: We had a good sleep

Desventajas: Definitely a budget motel. Nothing fancy

Ventajas: Staff were extremely nice, took time to answer questions, gave good personalized service. Motel itself is dated, but that is easily overlooked by the cleanliness of the room - my #1 criteria when staying in a room. Beds were comfortable. Motel is on a busy street, but traffic is almost non-existent at night so it was very quiet during the evening. If you're travelling with kids there is a cute mini-golf and activity center kitty-corner to the motel. A few blocks up there are convenience stores and the beach is about 4km drive down the road. Expensive but very yummy restaurant across the street. The motel offers an outdoor breakfast which is nice as we didn't see (but also didn't look for) a morning breakfast restaurant. Would stay again if in the area.

Ventajas: Clean and comfortable

Ventajas: I really liked the free upgrade! Thank you!

Desventajas: I have no complaints

Desventajas: La habitación no tenía un mini-frigorífico. ¿Qué lugar no tiene un mini-refrigerador??

Ventajas: Our room was lovely, nice location right on the beach.

Desventajas: The hotel advertised an outdoor pool which was the primary reason we booked. The pool in inside with a slatted open roof, this does not make it an outside pool. There was no where to relax and sunbathe. They should call it an inside pool. We felt ripped off.

Ventajas: The location and view from our balcony were beautiful. Close to everything we wanted to do and the pool was great.

Desventajas: Didn't like the expresso machine in the room as we don't like expresso. We just wanted a basic cup of coffee and tea in the morning. Would have prefered one of those little coffee makers. And the hot tub jets were not very powerful. More like a tap running than a jet tub. But it was great other than that.

Ventajas: the location was excellent and the view was excellent as well right on the beach with beach access. the breakfast choice and quality was average but adequate as was the dinner menu

Desventajas: the food quality and choice could have been better

Ventajas: Our eggs benny tasted superb. The service was fast and efficient, staff were friendly without being overbearing.

Desventajas: The only down side was when two staff were getting off the elevator, saw that my husband used a walker but didn't bother to hold the door open. We entered the elevator as the door was closing.

Ventajas: Friendly staff and a nice location. Building was under going renovations during my stay but was still clean amd tidy. I had to at 530 am and was so grateful for the coffee!

Ventajas: Stellar view, comfortable bed, great rate, good food, friendly staff.

Desventajas: Recently upgraded the facilities but the staff need training. Very friendly and helpful though.

Ventajas: Super quiet very clean.

Desventajas: When I booked I got one price. When I got the bill it was considerably more and I would like to hear from bookings to repair this.

Ventajas: Very new and bright and clean. Lovely ocean view. The outdoor patio and grounds were very nice. The gardener talked with us and was very knowledgeable and really cared about the gardens esp the beautiful roses in the front garden...quite lovely! Easy to walk down to the beach..on stairs ...the beach stretches for miles which is quite stunning to see. Beautifully decorated room ..all new furniture and beds. Friendly staff overall. Nice pool and hot tub in glass enclosure. Restaurant and patio serves very good food at reasonable prices looking over the ocean. We have already booked another stay in August..but be sure to request a ocean front room or at least refuse to take the small selection of rooms that over look a large ugly expanse of roof..with noisey air vents and tarmac and air conditioners !!

Desventajas: Front desk welcome initially ackward. The Receptionist was more occupied with talking to a colleague and working on her computer than welcoming us ...she didnt even look up and say anything for a uncomfortable few minutes. Not being acknowledged is very poor. Eventually the colleague jumped up to serve us and welcome us. He was very pleasant and professional. I think he was not expecting to be dealing with guests but he sensed the uncomfortable position for us. Stop with the computer and tend to your customers!! Also very poor that the pool is not open past 7 pm..this is a resort! Some rooms overlook a roof with noisey air conditions....why not make a roof top garden and at the very least don't advertise these rooms as garden view!! We had to pay an upgrade to get out of this room that we were first booked into by making the reservation with booking.com

Desventajas: Internet was not working in our room on the 20th Ok on 21st.

Ventajas: Location to water

Desventajas: View of roof top and parking lot. Nothing close by

Ventajas: Rooms were spacious and clean. Appeared recently renovated.

Desventajas: Was disappointed with the location of our room. Third floor overlooking a very messy roof and facing an apartment under construction. No view as such. Was woken 11.30pm by somebody doing work on the roof - Contacted reception @ 12.30am who did not seem to know what was going on.

Desventajas: Nespresso coffee

Ventajas: Very dated motel, but great staff, clean, large room. Also pet friendly which we required as we travel with our dog.

Ventajas: Cleanliness - very, very good!! Lovely, new renovations. Good value for money. Owners pleasant, friendly and very helpful. Definitely would stay here again!!

Desventajas: Longer bed frame beneath. When I sat on end, head of bed would lift. However, I was entertained by this :-)

Ventajas: close to everything i wanted to see, clean rooms and friendly staff had a great time will be booking there again at this hotel and good breakfast that is included in the room rented

Desventajas: they couldn't of did anything better then they already did love my stay will be booking again at this location

Ventajas: Had kitchenette (not microwave & mini-fridge) for cooking and grocery stores within easy walk. Nice folks managing facility.

Ventajas: Great breakfast chioce

Desventajas: Great breakfast choice clean towels daily. Peace and quiet. Just what we needed. Good sized room and all the kitchen facilities we needed. Would use this place again.

Ventajas: The breakfast was fine,yogurt,fruit,cereal,half muffin coffee,the area for the breakfast could have been a bit bigger. I liked that the rooms were big and clean.The person behind the desk was very friendly and accommodating.

Desventajas: The drapes needed to be shorter,the air conditioner ,when on would billow the drapes up and not flow into the room as well. The ceiling over the tub/shower area needed washing down.

Ventajas: Nothing. Greatly disappointed. Old place. Should be torn down and new facilities put up. Toilet so low to the floor had trouble getting off of it. Looked like 2 old buildings put together. Only good thing beds were ok. Left a day early as we couldn’t stay there any longer and definetly won’t be back or refer the place.

Desventajas: Everything. I explained above.

Ventajas: Comfortable affordable clean accommodation. Staff are awesome. Included continental breakfast was great. Better choices than we usually see at this price range. Pets are welcome.

Desventajas: Cigarette smoke outside. Several of the long term residents sit outside smoking nearby.

Ventajas: Very nice people and kept the grounds really clean also.

Desventajas: The mattress were vey soft. Need new ones. Do a few at a time. Very

Ventajas: The location was the best. The spa and the endless tapas at Grotto Spa are a must-experience!

Ventajas: Spectacular location

Desventajas: It was very warm in the room. Perhaps better fans.

Desventajas: Blood on pillow cases. Then staff trying to say I was the cause of the blood was completely unacceptable. Fans is room where so dirty I had to wash and clean them. A white fan was totally black. No supplies in room like frying pans. Restaurant could not get my simple order right.

Ventajas: The balcony view was stunning. The room comfortable and spacious, well appointed suite. The low tide and tide pools were amazing. Went to bed and full ocean. Woke up it was gone!

Desventajas: The bedroom window looked out to the public staircase. Noise was not a problem however.

Ventajas: The view from the balcony. The spa was fantastic, and my room was very clean

Desventajas: The room price was very high

Ventajas: View

Desventajas: Limited parking.

Ventajas: The location of the property is excellent right next to the beach. The beds were comfortable.

Desventajas: The sliding deck doors were nearly inoperable, the interior closet door could not be opened or closed. All door hinges creaked and needed repair. The kitchen was small and the utensils were marginal at best, the the appliances were of poor quality. Extremely disappointed and would never stay here again .

Ventajas: Location, facilities Excellent for families with small kids

Ventajas: Great

Ventajas: The view and beach were excellent. Loved the cabin and rustic feel while still classy.

Ventajas: Regresaría nuevamente sin pensarlo dos veces. El amanecer visto desde la playa es espectacular (de 6:00 a 7:30 AM)

Desventajas: La calidad de algunos platos del restaurante dejan mucho que desear (pasta)

Ventajas: It was clean, easy to get to, and close to the beach.

Desventajas: Funny smell in room, sink wasn’t in the bathroom so you disturb everyone else when washing up, lamps were covered in cellophane with the tags still on, light switches in very odd locations, noise from upstairs, fridge stunk and was unusable, blankets had holes in them, very outdated decor and furnishings. We opted to leave first thing in the morning and shower at home.

Ventajas: Accessibility, local services.

Desventajas: Dirty air conditioner filters. All should be cleaned monthly. Clients shouldn’t sneeze when they enter the rooms. A roll of paper towels would be a good addition to the kitchenette.we

Ventajas: Maybe location and water pressure from shower

Desventajas: Smelly room. Bed cover sheet

Desventajas: The mattresses are a little too well used.

Ventajas: Quiet and comfortable. Recently Updated

Ventajas: We especially appreciated the kitchenette equipped with dishes, pots and pans and utensils, a fridge and microwave, dishtowel, dish clothes, and washing up liquid. The bed was comfortable.

Desventajas: We were asked to change from a room on the ground floor with two beds to one on the first floor with a double bed but the double bed was not as large as we were led to expect and the ground floor is easier for bulky luggage.

Ventajas: Great location

Ventajas: It was very quiet even though there were lots of guests.

Ventajas: Hotel located centrally...such that we could travel all over Vancouver island on day trips. Great price for a long stay...also kitchenette.

Ventajas: no breakfast, location is perfect, because hiway traffic seems to be never too bad to get in and out...staff are congenial, and professional...well done

Desventajas: bed was a little lumpy, but, OK

Ventajas: Very convenient location friendly staff rooms were very clean

Ventajas: Location! Scenery.

Ventajas: Excellent location. Right on the beach with a great view from the units to Georgia Straight. Friendly staff.

Ventajas: Nice bed, great location. Location for beach fire was lovely.

Desventajas: The room is much smaller than I expected.

Ventajas: Beach front location with stunning views. Spectacular sunrises, seals, sea lions, bald eagles and other birds.

Desventajas: Bathroom was a bit cramped. Shampoo and hair dryer would have been nice.

Ventajas: Nice and cozy cottage!

Ventajas: My family liked the intimate atmosphere of a small hotel and the beautiful grounds. We ate outside every day in the sunshine, it was so peaceful and sunny. The accommodations were just the right size for my family and we had what we needed in the kitchen. The hotel owner was very informative and helpful about things to do in the area. This is a place you can come to if you enjoy meeting other guests and relaxing.

Desventajas: The beds were very firm, which didn't suit my preference.

Desventajas: Filthy sink and dirty drinking glasses Smoke alarm not working No privacy at all

Ventajas: It was a great little 2 bedroom cottage with an awesome ocean view from the living room window. The ocean was literally steps away. We could see sea lions swimming past in the morning.

Desventajas: Small 2 burner stove and fridge, but hey I'm on holidays I shouldn't have to cook anyway!

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the little deck overlooking the ocean. We liked the location as it was central to everything we wanted to do.

Ventajas: It was peaceful and quiet.

Desventajas: It was a bit cold - although it is probably fine in the summer. Bedrooms were a bit on the small side.

Ventajas: Spacious apartments with great amenities. Swimming pool And hot tubs were sparkling clean. Path to the beach Free beach toys and balls to borrow

Ventajas: It was all mostly ok

Desventajas: Once you book you cannot change accommodation to another facility because the make you pay the entire time ahead and cannot change if you do not like it or wish to move at different location

Desventajas: Ocean Trails going smoke free.....one designated smoking area only. Would help to have several areas throughout the property as the units are spread out. Did not please the smoker in our party. I beleive smoking outside is okay....not in the units would surely be respected. On this issue, I would not recommend to anyone with a smoker in their party.

Ventajas: Have been coming to Ocean Trails for a number of years. Great memories and fun times with family. Will continue to come back

Desventajas: My unit was close to the road. Lots of traffic coming in and out. Will get a different unit next time.

Ventajas: It’s very convenient and comfortable. The environment is peaceful and beautiful.

Ventajas: The units are very well equipped. Comfy bed too.

Desventajas: It would be fantastic to have a larger, deep end pool for adults who like to swim.

Ventajas: Unit was clean and spacious.

Desventajas: Beds were uncomfortable. Couch was uncomfortable. People in the pool partying until midnight.

Ventajas: Everything was Great! Awesome location and lots of fun.

Desventajas: The patio was a bit dirty.

Ventajas: The place we stayed was comfortable and nicer than expected. Great value for money

Desventajas: The pool was closed which was unfortunate, but it was early in the season for a pool. Would have been nice to know in advance

Ventajas: Excellent private beach access.

Desventajas: Hot water can be problem if u are showering at same time.

Ventajas: Hermosa vista Las habitaciones son increíbles. Grande. Limpia

Ventajas: De gran tamaño, suelos climatizados, agradable entorno

Desventajas: Sonido Muy mala insonorización entre habitaciones. Pequeña televisión Mal iluminada suite y señalización número de sendero.

Ventajas: The location on the water

Desventajas: It was hot and there was no AC. We wanted the patio door open but a number of times had smoke coming in even though it's supposed to be a non-smoking property. They even had someone smoking right the main office when we were leaving.

Ventajas: Resort like relaxing stay

Desventajas: Not enough water activities for family with younger children.

Desventajas: No air conditioning in the summer and the noise from neighbouring guests and a large reunion party made for a sleepless night.

Ventajas: The resort is right on the water and there is a ramp leading into the bay. The bay gets very shallow at low tide which was important since we arrived and left by kayak. We needed to be careful about our timing. The room was great and we had a nice dinner in the restaurant. The hotel staff kindly arranged for us to store our large, double kayak in a garage that could be locked. That helped us sleep well. We didn't have much time at the resort since we arrived late had to leave early so we were sad we couldn't explore the amenities offered by the resort. We gather that kayaks are available free to guests and there are other fun things to do. The people we talked to at the resort say they come every year and love it.

Ventajas: The property was beautiful. We loved the outdoor pools.

Desventajas: We waited an hour for breakfast and then was told the restaurant was out of eggs and someone was “running out to get some “. We decided not to wait any longer and found another restaurant in Parksville.

Ventajas: Not much.

Desventajas: Old, needed repairs, room temperature unable to control, one small double uncomfortable bed, old pull out couch with unsufficient linen, poor lighting. Firetrap, no sprinklers, patio wall solid so no escape. Timeshare, pool use not allowed unless member.

Ventajas: Room size was great.

Desventajas: Location was a bit out of the way. The road into Parksville was closed making it a longer trip to get anywhere.

Ventajas: The location is fantastic. Incredibly scenic views over the bay and beautiful grounds. Their is a huge tidal flat to explore at low tide.

Desventajas: The units here are definitely old and worn. It is also definitely not a place for a couple to have a relaxing quiet retreat. It is very family oriented with young children everywhere. The rooms are almost all large one or two bedroom units with full kitchens. The hotel like room that we rented was a lock off from a larger suite, with a small balcony with awful worn outdoor carpet. The screen door was broken and fell completely out of the track eventually. The small bbq area near the boat launch, very close to our room was taken over twice by a very large loud group. Two of them had apparently never seen a traffic circle before since they thought the one at the end of the narrow road that allows people to turn around was a place for them to park. They were not rowdy but the noise and children using the parking area as a playground made our balcony unusable for the evening twice over a 5 day stay. Particularly since everyone leaving the party felt that directly under our balcony was the place to turn and scream their goodbyes. Do not allow them to give you a room in the 600 block if you are staying over a weekend and want to be able to relax in your room.

Ventajas: everything was awesome, staff was great very friendly and helpful, room was large and very clean, had very nice bbq setup to use, hot tubs, jacuzzi tub was awesome, had fireplace in the room

Desventajas: cant think of anything

Ventajas: Beautiful view from great decks. Gorgeous beach. Comfortable bed with good coffee maker.

Desventajas: We didn’t have a view from our room and it was a bit dark. The hot tub overlooking the ocean was out of service.

Ventajas: Great pools great for kids

Desventajas: A little too far from the beach. Also restaurant drinks were limited. 2 drinks I asked for they didn't have.

Ventajas: Was amazing. The outdoor pool was great & views r amazing

Ventajas: Comfort, hiking trails, gourmet food close by

Desventajas: For some reason. The booking.com reservation didn't come through- it was frustrating for us in that I had to email them the booking confirmation, and this was supposed to be easy... But it did work out in the end. :)

Ventajas: Access to the beach area.

Desventajas: Had booked a room with 2 beds. Upon arrival asked if we could switch to a room on main floor, as daughter has difficulty with stairs. The room had only one queen-bed, however. I asked if we could have the original room anyway, but was then told that it also had only one bed, "because someone made a mistake." If I wanted a room with 2 beds, I would have to pay another $50. I said that I would then keep the downstairs room. This room was very small, with a small bathroom (shower only). It was noisy. The walls were so thin that we could hear the conversation from our neighbours connected behind us, when they were talking in the bathroom, which they did a lot while having baths. I will never stay there again.

Ventajas: Nos invitaron a jugar en las instalaciones anexas de minigolf.

Ventajas: Everything was perfect. This is my third time here. I know my stays will be consistantly just what I want.

Desventajas: A mini fridge might be a nice addition.

Ventajas: Comfortable beds

Ventajas: Location and free round of mini golf is always a hit.

Desventajas: The bathtub plug was wrong size and bathtub didn't drain properly. Part of curtain was broken and didn't close properly.

Ventajas: Easy to find, lots of parking, closer than I expected to the beach.

Ventajas: Clean, all amenities we needed for a one night stay. Free minigolf included.

Desventajas: Not much in the way of restaurants around, but there’s a barbecue available if you want to do your own

Ventajas: Free round of mini putt was fun.

Desventajas: Got a scald burn from the shower when it suddenly turned hot. Very itchy from being bitten all night, not sure from what.

Ventajas: Comfy bed and good breakfast. Central location and the price.

Desventajas: Not really, lets face it anyone can be picky but for the price it was more than exspected.

Ventajas: Conveniently situated

Desventajas: Walls in room thin,noises from adjacent suites,and above can be loud.

Ventajas: Great little Motel, in great location. Clean and close to the beach. Free mini golf.

Desventajas: Close to the beach and free mini golf.

Ventajas: Excellent location near the beach. Plenty of restaurants that are a walkable distance. If you have children (or not), the mini golf next door is a must do. Excellent value.

Desventajas: Perhaps a bit too close to Highway 19A, but it’s a motel. That’s the very nature of the business to be visible on the highway. Minor details the motel could look at. There are reading lamps above our beds but one had no switch. Toilet needs adjustment as one has to hold the lever down to flush properly. The shower head is not water efficient. While the water pressure is awesome, they could save water and money by upgrading the shower heads. These are minor things and not deal breakers.

Ventajas: Friendly staff and good location. Clean rooms and breakfast ok.

Desventajas: In need of an update - stayed in this hotel 20 years ago and it has not been maintained. Room looked onto carpark with old furniture and rubbish everywhere. Carpets very worn and dirty in places.

Ventajas: We had a great sleep as the beds were very comfy, there were extra pillows and blankets in the room if needed

Desventajas: The fitness area was small, the breakfast was ok but not great

Ventajas: Location! Right next to the beach and near good couple of restaurants and grocery stores. Breakfast was a bit basic but good enough. Beds were super comfortable, room was clean and spacious.

Desventajas: The view could have been better! Our room was overlooking the side/backyard of the hotel and there was a huge pile of old furniture all over the place, looked like it was gonna go to the trash or something. Didn’t look very presentable...

Ventajas: Location, continental breakfast and most of all the cleanliness.

Desventajas: NA

Ventajas: great continental breakfast close to beaches and entertainment and downtown swimming pool great for kids (no deep end) fridge and microwave and appears to have been recently remodeled

Desventajas: free dinner too (ha ha)

Ventajas: Great options for breakfast. Excellent location as it overflowed outdoors.

Desventajas: Could have had an hot egg station.

Ventajas: We loved the bed; very comfy! The bathroom was spacious, modern and clean. The pool and hot tub were great.

Desventajas: I wish the Travelodge would provide recycling and/or compost options in the breakfast room. In addition, they gave the option for customers to use plastic or paper cutlery and plates, which I don't believe is necessary. Travelodge: Go Green!

Ventajas: The staff was helpful. The breakfast was OK ,the bed was clean, the bathroom was kept clean.

Desventajas: It looks like they are trying to refresh this hotel, but I feel it may be too little to late, it may be time to replace this old and tired hotel. The exterior siding is very faded and cracking, the cedar roof is well past due to be replaced, the carpeting in the halls and room is worn and very stained. The furniture is stained and worn. The bathroom looks to have been remodeled but the toilet would not flush properly { 3-6 tries to clear], the ceiling fan did not work. I have a hard time to recommend staying here.

Ventajas: continental breakfast was average in choice and variety. staff kept the quantity of food available well. the size of the breakfast room was adequate .

Desventajas: the toilet was very poor. you had to flush at least twice for liquids and 3 or 4 times for solids and got plugged once and the toilet was a low small one. the carpet was stained and the chair was stained

Ventajas: Well stocked, coffee was good, clean area.

Desventajas: There were a few things in the room that needed to be fixed. The bathroom fan was very loud and the lighting in the bathroom was poor. The air conditioning worked well and was quiet. Light above the bed was falling apart and needs to be fixed. The TV had to be adjusted to HDMI every time we turned it on.

Ventajas: Limited availability of a pet-friendly options during busy long weekend forced us to stay here. Old building with old, small rooms that could use a reno. Location is convenient to Parksville parks and town shops.

Desventajas: Budget hotel with premium price $293 for a tiny room with 2 doubles). Breakfast was basic, boiled eggs, no bacon or sausage, cereal, muffins, yogurt, whole fruit. Fortunately, waffle maker for the kids.

Desventajas: The staff were not overly friendly, the room was not all that clean, there were false eyelashes all over the bed. Exposed box springs that looked terrible, the pool was disgusting - the water was milky and full of chunks of long hair. Will not go back.

Ventajas: La ubicación era buena.

Desventajas: Las habitaciones eran bastante pequeñas y la cama no era muy cómoda.

Desventajas: Las camas estaban gastadas. Estaba bastante limpio pero viejo, podrían renovarlo.

Ventajas: Absolutamente genial... Limpio... Gerente muy atento. Representa al hotel de una forma ejemplar.

Ventajas: Good location, desk staff very helpful.

Desventajas: The check in experience was very good. The lady was very friendly and helpful. Room was not as represented. It was supposed to have sleeping accommodations for 3 - 4. There was a double bed right beside the wall and a fold down futon that was old and lumpy. We had to ask for bedding for the futon and then you couldn’t get comfortable on it. They brought a piece of foam but it didn’t really help. We were charged premium price for this room. When the futon was down, you had to squeeze past it to get to the bathroom. I have stayed in better accommodations in third world countries. The desk was closed after 11 pm and we were out for the whole day. Thankfully we were back by 10, because our room was not cleaned that day, there were no towels and we were able to get some. Breakfast was minimal, muffins, toast, cereal, yogurt and a couple of fruits. Should be advertised as continental breakfast. As noted the staff was very helpful and apologetic but that didn’t make the room any better.

Ventajas: It is centrally located in Parksville main road. We have found our room clean and comfortable even though the facility is very outdated. The A/C is quiet, bathroom is clean. We also felt the breakfast is sufficient even though it is the major complaint from the reviews. Overall it was a pleasant stay for us.

Desventajas: The hotel desperately needs a facelift.

Ventajas: Ground floor room had a small patio adjacent to main road. No facilities in the immediate surrounds. Shops and liquor store a drive away as are fast food outlets. Could not find a decent restaurant but only had one night so didn't try too hard.

Desventajas: Basic quality but price reflects this. We stopped en route to Ucluelet so a short visit only.

Ventajas: Location in downtown Parksville Size of room ok. Staff was friendly, both at checkout and checking in.

Desventajas: Kitchenette in room very run down Toilet flush did not stop. Water constantly running. Not very environmentally friendly! Breakfast on the low end. Breakfast room used as storage, very un-inviting

Ventajas: Super friendly and helpful staff

Ventajas: Ease of dealing with staff. Felt very welcoming

Desventajas: More coffee in room would be nice

Ventajas: Location and complimentary breakfast.

Desventajas: The bed was uncomfortable and it was a small room.

Ventajas: Staff were helpful and location was very near beach.

Desventajas: Breakfast was good but choices were limited. Breakfast room was very small.

Ventajas: Room was clean. Liked the location and unique layout of the room. Lady at the front desk was very nice. Felt safe and comfortable there.

Desventajas: Hallways smelled a bit like cigarettes, but I'm sure that is from a long time ago.

Ventajas: I loved the location, we were able to easily walk to the boardwalk, and enjoy the beach. I was especially grateful for the small kitchenette. This made food options a lot easier for us while we were on vacation, as we were able to do some of our own meals, or keep and reheat leftovers. We could hear our neighbouring visitors a little bit, but generally everyone was quiet and respectful. If we'd had a little more time, we probably would have also visited the mini golf and fun park across the street.

Desventajas: The mattress on the bed wasn't the best. I kept waking up with a sore back. It would also be nice if a smoking area was placed somewhere away from the hotel entrances.

Ventajas: Location price room cleanliness

Desventajas: Breakfast room needed some cleaning

Ventajas: Staff were fairly nice. And made up our sofa bed quickly upon request.

Desventajas: No screens on windows to allow fresh air in for sleeping. I had booked this early for myself and two kids and was hoping for comfy beds but the sofa bed was unmade (staff made it up immediately upon request) and mostly wire and springs instead of a comfy mattress it was old and worn right out . My daughter did not sleep well at all. Old dusky carpet in hallways. Some type of nasty stains in elevator that resembled vomit. Staff was friendly but made me pay the full 189 even though they were advertising 129. I was past the cancellation period and had to pay for what I was locked into. Good location (but almost everything is in Parksville as it's all on a strip across from the beach). I paid the exact same price for the double tree by Hilton in Kamloops and I would rate the doubletree an 8 vs a 3 at most. I hate complaining but you can get alot better for your money elsewhere.
