Room was clean, comfortable and roomy (we had a room facing the ocean with a balcony), the breakfast food quality in the restaurant and service was definitely top tier. The staff from check in all the way to the restaurant were awesome. This is one of Parksville's "Sweet Spots" to stay and look forward to returning soon.

We had a lovely king sea view room with a balcony overlooking the most stunning and quite mesmerising views. The bed was really comfortable and spacious unlike the bathroom which was tiny! The staff were friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant, again with that view! Breakfast menu was disappointing so we skipped that. The small pool was well kept and we welcomed a refreshing swim after our journey.

Ocean view was beautiful and being right on the beach was great. Restaurant was good for happy hour and it was nice to have a coffee shop on site as well. Staff were all very nice and helpful and the art on display was a great addition to our stay. Chargers on site for our electric vehicle were a nice bonus. Would definitely stay here again.
