Comfortabele, rustige accommodatie aan de toeristische oostkust van Vancouver Island
Pros:

Ruime kamer, alles heel netjes, voor iedere dag een schone badhanddoek, goed bed, rustig gelegen, geen lawaai van de nabijgelegen weg, parkeren voor de deur.

Cons:

Het strand waaraan de accommodatie ligt is niet erg leuk - voornamelijk keien.

Pros:

Peaceful. So nice to have morning coffee on the deck listening to the waves

Cons:

Parking on site was difficult. Today’s vehicles are big for the space allotted. Was street parking right beside the resort so not too big of a problem

Pros:

Location is beautiful. The room itself was nice and clean/tidy. Stayed there for 4 nights. Would definitely stay there again. Our door was a little tricky to lock but once you got the hang of it then it was all good. Also, and this has nothing to do with the property but I was having bad cell service which was a bummer but again the hotel itself had nothing to do with that. Just something to keep in mind. My partner however didn’t really have any issues even when he was connected to wifi. So might have just been my phone. We both wish we stayed longer in that hotel cuz it was a great spot!
