Guest Reviews

• Glenn (7/5): Great views, but rooms are tight. - The beds were very comfortable and the view was amazing. The staff were also great to deal with and the on-site restaurant and bakery were quite good - just not open daily. The on-site gallery was a nice touch too. Unfortunately the rooms in the lodge are very small and the bathroom configuration is quite awkward, so overall it seemed very expensive for what you get. With only one night stand, some wall hooks and a desk, trying to unpack and settle in was quite tricky for two people. Food options are inconsistent on site and on the island, so challenging to eat with no cooking options in the room - perhaps a group kitchen would be the answer??
• Justin (9/5): Will be back! - The location can't be beat, and the rates were more than fair when comparing to similar accommodation. The room was simple, but clean and a perfect place to rest our heads at the end of the day. The balcony was lovely, the view is incredible and the doors open fully so you feel even closer to the ocean. In the mornings and evenings we enjoyed opening the doors and listening to the birds from bed. The kind woman at the reservation/guest services desk was great! She was able to accommodate a few requests for us with no issue. Our experience with her was communicative, kind, friendly and just overall welcoming. On top of all of that, the room was pet friendly and we were able to bring our dog (Lab) along for the adventure! We booked very last minute and our usual pet sitter was unavailable, so a pet friendly unit really kept our trip on track. We also made good use of the dog wash after a very sandy trip to the beach. My dog usually hates baths, but the warm water made it much more tolerable for him and tracked SO much less sand into our room. Finally, the restaurant staff and food were great! We also stopped in at the cafe in the morning for a cheese pastry, a sweet treat and bit of bacon for the pup. The owner was happy to accommodate and we had a nice visit. Overall a wonderful stay, we will certainly be back! The hot tub was a bit dirty on our first visit, however I do think that this was in the process of being remedied by our second visit the following morning. There was a bit of a chemical feel to it, but I feel that this isnt unusual since we were there right at 10 am for a dip before checking out. The pool was chilly at first, but honestly, once I adjusted it was fine.
• Zuzana (10/5): -
• Johanne (10/5): Lovely place to enjoy the present and admire the ocean. - Very pleasant place to relax and enjoy nature Restaurant is close often; we were catching 5:15 ferry but all the restaurants on Mayne Island were close. Would be nice also to have better choice for the restaurant for food. Maybe have staffs cleaning deers drop on the grass in front of the cabin .
• Michael (10/5): Went over to Mayne for the night, wish I stayed for longer now. - Great area beautiful view. Super nice owners.
• Anne (9/5): - Stayed in 2 bed cottage with lovely views. It was clean and comfortable, very well equipped and had balcony overlooking sea . We enjoyed our stay Eat at restaurant here as no other places around. Food was average. Dining room had amazing view over water but room itself was functional and lacked atmosphere. Would take very little to make it more cheerful space
• Monica (10/5): -
• Suher (8/5): -
• Christine (8/5): Very relaxing !! - Very comfortable bed Well appointed kitchen Great view Bathroom Could have been cleaner Wifi was not great Would have been nice to have lights and heat on as we arrived late
• Greg (7/5): Excellent location with stunning views in a great spot to enjoy all the wonders on Mayne Island - The location was absolutely beautiful with a spectacular view and it was a great jumping off point to see the island. I guess the problem on travel in the off season hotels are going to do renovations maybe not use the same number of staff they have in past. So was rather unfortunate that the restaurant was completely shut down for renovations as was the Steam room. It may have been Hotel policy but our room was completely untouched for three days. So no replacement of heavily used towels or emptying of the garbage. Minor things.
• Debbie (6/5): It was comfortable and the staff were pleasant and accommodating - The location was directly on the Ocean. The property had a small place where you could buy food, drinks. The room required a face lift, a heard that there used to be a great restaurant on site but they were asked to leave. I’ll leave it up to the owners to respond.
• Brigitte (7/5): Ruhiges Hotel an wunderschöner Lage - Die Lage, die Aussicht und die Umgebung sind wunderschön. Wir waren in einem Zimmer im Hauptgebäude. Es war sauber, die Einrichtung war ok. Das Personal war nett. Leider war das Restaurant geschlossen, was wir gewusst haben. Wir konnten vom "the Nook" nebenan etwas bestellen, der Saal war aber geschlossen und wir mussten am kleinen Tisch in der Lobby essen. Beim "Nook" konnte ich Gipfel kaufen, weil es auch kein Frühstück gab. Der Pool war offen, aber das Sprudelbad war abgedeckt. Offensichtlich ist die Saison hier nach "Thanksgiving" vorbei. Schade.
• Giorgio (9/5): - Posizione straordinaria, situato in una piccola baia piena di tranquillità. Le stanze sono pulite e curate, con balconi con una vista splendida. Colazione migliorabile, il caffè offerto al bar connesso all' hotel, ma cibo da acquistare separatamente ogni mattina. Suggerirei una piccola vendita di prodotti essenziali, cibi e bevande all'interno dell' albergo. Eviterebbe, a chi non vuole prendere la macchina o chi non ce l'ha come noi, di dover andare al negozio, che non è vicino e non è raggiungibile a piedi.
• Ruth (6/5): Disappointing except for the view and location - The location and view are outstanding. The cottages and villas are very nice but the original lodge rooms where we booked were disappointing The lino and baseboards in the bathroom are from the 70s. Very sparse furnishings. Only one chair and a small desk. Window blind didn’t work. Restaurant closed due to renovation. The Nook was only open 3 days a week and was disappointing. The price was too high for this type of room. Would not stay in the Lodge again
• Adomas (8/5): -
• Derrick (4/5): - Stayed in the one bedroom villa, dirty dishes on arrival, fruit flies, cobwebs and just an overall feeling of the room being unclean. The hot tub jets didn’t work, the pool worked after trying to turn on the sauna, sauna never worked for more than 2 minutes. The food menu given in the room for the restaurant was not the current one, we were told “we haven’t used that one in a long time” when we went to order a snack. I have a feeling this “resort” was very nice 10 years ago when it was new. I don’t recommend staying here, save your money and stay somewhere else.
• Maureen (10/5): - The cottage and ocean view were wonderful!
• David (6/5): - Small rooms and not very sound proof. There was limited furniture in room (had to use the patio metal chairs and table). No replacement coffee supplies in room as front desk staff were not there later in the day or evening. Overall facility is in need of a renovation as it’s showing its age. It’s in a beautiful location with spectacular ocean views and great walking trails, and that makes up for some of the faults.
• Louvaine M (8/5): - Our visit was short. The rooms are great. One downside - we were on upper floor but no elevator. Will get more difficult to manage stairs soon. Should have requested main floor entrance. Prompt response when we did not have a kettle in room. Not much staff interaction.
• Francis (8/5): If you are planning to go to Mayne, you should stay at the resort. It is the best option. - The property is fine. Swimming is the ocean could be a challenge. A rocky shore. The view is nice and the facilities we stayed in were new.. The staff were very welcoming. The restaurant was closed but we knew it. The swimming pool and the sauna were open but not appealing. I think you can forget those.
• Patrick (4/5): Wouldn’t recommend it - Travelling solo for the second time this year to the same place. TV didn’t work, and by the time I learned this, the staff had left for the evening.No coffee maker in the room, just a gift certificate for the simple coffee ‘nook’ next door. They advertise the nook as having pastries and such for breakfast… But the pastry cover over top of the croissant and pain Au chocolate had small fruit flies, circling within the glass cover. The breakfast burrito that I had when I stayed in April wasn’t worth the first bite, and a breakfast sandwich Today was no better. As for room cleanliness, it was pretty evident no one had swept or vacuumed the floors before my arrival. I won’t be staying there again.
• Carolyn (6/5): - Wonderful location with beautiful sunrise and sunset. Very calm inlet for kayaking.
• Linda (8/5): - Great resort! Room could have been cleaner. Wasn’t dirty by any means but needed a few touch ups
• Mel (6/5): - The lack of dining options available. Restaurant was closed and on our first night (Tuesday) there was only one restaurant open on the island, a very poorly run Indian/Asian restaurant. Worst meal and service we have experienced in many/many years. Certainly makes us hesitant to visit Mayne Island again.
• April (8/5): - Very quiet and amazing views. Could sit and watch the views all day long.
• Bradley (10/5): - The dining options on Mayne are very limited, most places closed early or not open at all. Restaurant was closed for Reno’s here but they had the nook which had some food.
• Andrew (5/5): -
• MARTA (8/5): - Amazing place to relax. Beautiful views and location.
• Yang (10/5): - Nice view and great location , great experience
• Satterthwaite (8/5): -
• TL (4/5): - The check in staff was the best part. So welcoming, friendly and helpful. Book staff- awesome also.
• lene (5/5): - Flot sted. Men øv der ik var bad ved wellness og køkkenet ikke var åbnet Flere småting virkede ik pejsen og døren til bruseren
• Carmen (6/5): - We almost missed the check in (staff was leaving the reception at 5pm; check-in started at 4pm). Check-in was efficient and friendly, and that was the last time we saw any staff for the whole 3 nights we stayed there. We were only informed that the restaurant on-site was closed the day before we arrived. There were only 2 restaurants on the entire island (1 of them was short a cook so they were not even doing take-out). We did use the pool, steam room and the hot tub. The spa didn't have any reception area so I guess you need to book or else there's no walk-ins. For the price, I am disappointed at the lack of amenities and dining.
• Tom Bakan (7/5): - The villa was clean and comfortable. The location was beautiful. The closed restaurant was a real disappointment.
• Susan (8/5): - Fabulous views from our balcony and so quiet!
• Heather (9/5): -
• Mana (8/5): - Generally, main island is beautiful and the property had a good location, but the service was terrible. Specially at the swimming pool. I called many times for the towel. There were no towel in the swimming pool and they said they’re gonna send quickly but they didn’t when I told the front desk they even didn’t apologies and they said yeah we are short staffed. I won’t come back again to this property
• Sarah (10/5): - Lovely resort with beautiful views. The bathrooms in the hotel rooms are small, stand up shower only. The room itself was nice, balcony facing the water with chairs and a table. Perfect spot to have morning coffee or enjoy dinner. The resort does have a restaurant - we arrived about 230pm on a Tuesday to see that they had closed early due to running out of food. Not sure if this is something that happens often? Was disappointing but we had brought snacks and food with us so made do with that and some
• ERYANG (8/5): - The location is unbeatable, quiet, with a great view and convenient. Having BBQ with beer, taking a breeze on the patio was the best part of the trip. Please be aware that the water on the island is treated rainwater; the quality can not match that of the mainland.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Overpriced for what you get - Front desk staff were very respectful. The first thing we noticed was that the bed didn’t look like a king size. I have one at home and this was definitely smaller, but it was amazingly comfortable There’s no where to unload your clothes, no dresser, very small room. They don’t make up your room at all. I asked if they could do a quick sweep as we have a dog and the sand from the beaches gets on the floors and have a couple of towels as the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor. So they gave me a broom to keep. I swept my own floors every day. This hotel is definitely overpriced for what you get. I did pay an additional pet fee even though i was the one cleaning up. The restaurant had the best food on the island. When we arrived we found out that most places are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and the restaurant was well booked and busy. They ran out of chicken by Tuesday, and were out of Brussels and calamari the next day. The beach here is gross but there’s lots of others to choose from around the island. We stayed at the main hotel and looking at the villas, they looked much nicer but are quite expensive. Our room was right over the restaurant but when the doors were closed it was very quiet. Overall, I would not spend the money here again but would opt for a air bnb for that price where i would have a kitchen and a larger fridge.
• Sonya (10/5): - Very nuce
• Nancy (8/5): - Good view, nice staff, the restaurant just below the hotel had delicious food at a reasonable price. I was disappointed that they gave us the room that had a smaller balcony view in comparison with the others as the bottom was enclosed whereas the other balconies had railings which increased the view. Also the patio furniture was dirty (with stains) so we couldn’t use it at all. When I asked to switch rooms they said they were fully booked and this was the room that was available when we booked, however that was not what was in the picture. They also sent someone to clean the balcony furniture but it didn’t make much of a difference. They did give us 2 dessert vouchers to use at their breakfast nook for this. The view was still lovely but you had to be standing in the room or balcony to see it. There is also some pounding noise in the building during the day. I think it was coming from the restaurant that was directly beneath. Despite these issues we did have a lovely time. We slept well. The people are friendly everywhere you go on the island.
• Steve (8/5): - Very cozy and friendly staff. Great location
• Sandra (8/5): - Personally had a good stay despite some missing room amenities such as dresser or coffee/tea kettle (vochures we're given for the cafe downstairs). The breakfast cafe selection was good (excellent veggie breakfast burrito),and good options for vegetarian, vegan and dairy free too. The Bistro (lunch/dinner) was great and such a nice view. I did stay in the main building and my room was overlooking the Bistro, which could be awkward if out on your patio at dinner time. Otherwise the resort was a great as base location to stay and explore the island. Next time I would consider one of the cottage units for more space and amenities.
• Robyn (10/5): - Main Island Resort is a perfect get away, it’s quiet, filled with nature and very relaxing. Beautiful views to read a book, paddle board, walk the dogs. We very much enjoy our stays here.
• Graham (10/5): - My son and I have stayed here twice. We love this place. Awesome location and the attached restaurant is outstanding. Thanks for an amazing stay!
• Nick (10/5): - We had a wonderful time! We stayed in a 1 bedroom villa, and the view was amazing! The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular! It's a quiet resort and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely be back.
• Elsa (8/5): We will definitely be returning! - The staff were so kind and welcoming. We were there for our honeymoon and they went so far as to create little towel swans on our bed with a voucher for free breakfast for two. The location was great and the restaurant on site had great food. The pool and hot tub area was empty every time we went down- with the added bonus of the pool having jets which was a fun surprise! The room was quite small and some of the fixtures, such as in the bathroom, were looking a bit tired. It would have been great to have an in room kettle or coffee maker. The food at breakfast 'Nook' left a little to be desired; however, it was great to receive free coffees for each morning and our breakfast voucher.
• Renee (10/5): - Overall very friendly and helpful staff. Clearly a well taken care of property. The restaurant was reasonably priced and the food was delicious. We stayed in one of the beautiful cottages. It was very comfortable and peaceful with a stunning view. We would love to make another trip there some day.
• Agnes (10/5): Loved this place. Highly recommend! - Peaceful location. Beautiful views. Lots of birds and otters. So quiet at night. Comfy beds. Lively happy hour. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Good restaurant on site for dinner. Breakfast items can be purchased on site too (convenient as there are so few food options on the island). Electric car chargers available. We stayed only three nights but would have liked to stay longer. Sitting on the balcony for breakfast or after a hike was heavenly. Our room did not have a closet or chest of drawers. Only a few hooks. Not ideal as we like to unpack our suitcases. The walls are thin but we were lucky: our neighbours were quiet after 9pm.
• K. Alex (8/5): - The view from the room and balcony are to die for!
• Erin (10/5): - The resort’s property is beautiful - great view from our room balcony and at the great Bennett Bay Bistro below.
• Michael (9/5): A most enjoyable stay in a lovely location -
• mitch (8/5): Nice place, great setting. - Mayne Island was awesome and the resort was too. It’s a very laid back and fun place. The restaurant was awesome and the morning coffee shop was great. We stayed in a room in the main building and it was good. The patio was a really nice feature. It would have been nice to have at least a kettle & coffee maker. A small fridge and microwave would also have bumped the resort up by another half star😃.
• Stephen (8/5): - Great location and friendly staff. A great place for a little getaway.
• Solveig (8/5): Very good -
• FRANK (10/5): - Beautiful. But no coffee in room or way to make evening tea
• Janet (8/5): - Loved the ocean view. Wasn’t thrilled that a villa was an upstairs apartment. The stairs were a challenge packing everything in and out
• Kae (8/5): Very good -
• Samir (8/5): - The property, and the views from it were stunning! The room was clean, and comfortable. The pub in the hotel, provided good food and was affordable.
• Jeffrey (10/5): - Comfortable bed and a breathtaking view. Sunrise on the balcony was perfect. Look forward to staying here again.
• Ryan (10/5): - Easy access from Victoria, Hiking options, dining options, ample beaches and parks. Everything you need for a getaway.
• Gillian (10/5): - We visited Mayne Island for a relaxing day in thw summer and stopped at Bennett Bay Bistro at the resort. Loved it and this is our 4th visit back for a weekend at the Bennett Bay Resort. The staff and rooms ar fantastic and it feels like you have been on a week long happy holiday after the weekend. Ferry service is easy from any of the islands or from Vancouver. The island is outstanding with perfect coffee shop book store, restaurant that serves original delicious meals. Driving around the island is fun and so many lovely bays to visit on the island. Weve been to most of the islands, live on Vancouver Island and Mayne Island is the best by far! Bennet Bay Resort is a special place to stay. They also have 3 charging stations for EV cars so no stress.
• Lojewski (9/5): Superb -
• steve (8/5): - Nice big room inside the cottage.dislike too many ANTS inside bathroom and kitchen
• Gabriella (8/5): Very good -
• David (8/5): - The inn rooms are good but small. We loved the attached bistro and the breakfast options. All the staff were wonderful. We will return.
• Tami (9/5): Superb - Loved the location and the friendly staff. Gave our large group access to a large room to visit together in. Bed was comfortable. Could’ve used a coffee maker in our room
• Kelsey (10/5): - This resort is really peaceful and relaxing! Gorgeous ocean front views and the staff are so helpful. We came here without a car and used the community bus on Mayne island, such an amazing service and the driver is so friendly! We also hitch a ride to the brewery, the locals are so friendly. The bennett bay bistro has wonderful staff and a nice vibe. Great for a relaxing stay! Only thing id add is the rooms are definitely not "sound proof" and as the building is quite old every footstep and conversation can be heard. It didnt bother us really but something to note.
• Lauren (9/5): Beautiful! - Receptionist was so lovely and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing! Views were great from the room and very relaxing pool and hot tub Walls were a lil thin so could hear people in the hallways but everything got quiet after 10pm so it didn’t bother us too much
• Katelyn (10/5): - So nice to have an indoor pool, hottub, steam room, gym and spa all open during the off-seaon.
• Laura (10/5): - A beautiful location overlooking a sandy beach with superb ocean views surrounded by nature. The resort is small with friendly staff, a good dining room and pub on site. Nice amenities with hot tub, steam room, exercise room and small indoor pool. The grounds are lovely with several nature walk options adjacent to the resort. A great place for a quiet getaway or a group stay!
• Ron (5/5): A $400 per nite stay that should be priced at $100. - bed was comfortable, heated floor in bathroom was nice. For the price $400/nite, the resort and room failed to meet our expectations. No continental breakfast; barbeque not cleaned and no cleaning tools provided until requested; paper salt and pepper packets; water kettle extremely calcified and not clean; coffee maker extremely dirty and beyond useful life (not enough coffee provided for the 3 nite stay); no robes until requested; unsanitary hottub (extremely foamy); steam room unclean; patio door foggy due to failed seal; broken gas fireplace on/off switch and extremely dirty fireplace window that requires service.
• penny (6/5): - The view and location were amazing! The staff didn't seem very friendly and couldn't give much information about the area. The rooms and building were very outdated and the floors were dirty.
• MARCELA (10/5): - Came here for a getaway with my best friend and we enjoyed it greatly. Food at restaurant was delicious! Service everywhere on the island was also top notch. The view from balconies is pretty sweet. Overall great experience. Will be back!
• Mike (4/5): I would still recommend but know what you're getting. - What was there was great—the view, the people. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. Of the two restaurants on the island (that we found), both were pretty good. The room was too sparse. It contained a king bed, two 12-inch shelves, and a fridge—no chairs, no desk, and nowhere to place suitcases. There were four hooks for towels, clothes, and jackets, leaving suitcases on the floor beside the bed. The two tiny 12-inch shelves were already occupied with two wine glasses, a phone, TV remotes, and a tissue box, leaving little space for our own belongings. The room was small, which we expected, as we had chosen their lowest-priced option—still over $200 per night. However, there was nowhere for me to sit and work while letting my wife sleep. I had to work in the car since the lobby only had two Queen Anne chairs, which weren’t practical for using a laptop. The bathroom vanity held a hairdryer and soap, with just enough space for our shared toiletries and makeup. The hallway, though maintaining its original wood floors, was very noisy—it could benefit from a runner to soften footsteps. Additionally, the door had nearly half an inch of play, causing it to rattle whenever another door in the hallway was opened due to pressure changes.
• Ivan (10/5): - Amazing for a quick out of town getaway! Host Donna was amazing. Highly recommend! Will be back.
• Angélica (9/5): Peaceful and surrounded by nature - The views are absolutely stunning, and the vibe is just amazing! It's such a beautiful, peaceful, and uplifting place to be! The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. We highly recommend it. :)
• James (10/5): Mayne Island Resort Cottage - staff provided free upgrade to cottage with king bed due to renovation of booked room. really enjoyed our stay. cottage, spa facilities and restaurant were excellent.
• Tracie (6/5): - Welcoming reception, great view from the room, pool and hot tub were nice additions. The resort is beach front and Bennett Bay trail is next door. Handy to have one of the few island restaurants right there for dinner. My only issues with the stay were a mild musty odour in the room, walls were not insulated so heard neighbours’ every sound, and there were bright lights from electronics in the room which made it difficult to sleep.
• Joanna (10/5): Relaxing weekend - Great place for a weekend getaway.
• Oktay (3/5): Poor management on a great location - The location, the view, island and the house/room as a facility in terms of design and being cosy. Cleanliness was awful, rusty dish washer, moldy cutting board, dirty dishes and closets, inside the kitchen drawers/closets it looks like never cleaned up. Dust and dirt everywhere in the room, under the couch, beds, spider webs. Stinky duvet, which is understood that used without duvet covers for long time and never washed. Insufficient towels. And not working fireplace, where we had to call 3 times and no solution. Don't even want to mention about the "spa", mud is coming out of the hot tub, where you can see black, soggy mud on the sides of the tub. As a result, if you really want to have a vacation on an island, try other islands, don't waste your time and money on this facility managed poorly by the people lack of facility management and customer complaint management skills.
• Abhishek (8/5): Very good -
• Mike (10/5): - Great next stay. Bistro was great. People great. Location great!
• Andrew (10/5): - Great hotel, my son loved the pool and hot tub!
• Peter (8/5): Nice little resort - Nice little resort. Pretty good restaurant onsite but limited hours. Nice view of ocean and waves. Probably nicest place to stay on this small island.
• Gillian (10/5): - Such a stunning location with spectacular views! The bedrooms have french doors opening up to a very private decks and more of the view of the bay and beyond. The bed was so cozy and unbelievably comfortable. Relax in indoor pool and hot tub. Restaurant is lovely with lots of choices of great food - make sure you make reservations. We would highly recommend the Mayne Island Resort and look forward to coming back soon.
• Wagey (8/5): Very good -
• Bowinn (10/5): - The original room that we booked had an issue that we discovered upon arrival. The owner immediately corrected the issue with an extremely generous room upgrade. The cabin was incredible and certainly one of the nicest places my family had ever stayed. It could not have been more perfect. Highly recommend this resort!
• neil (6/5): - First off the ownership are lovely. They're friendly and welcoming as are all the staff (both from the hotel and the restaurant). The resort is located in a beautiful spot and if you're fortunate enough to have an ocean view, it's a welcome treat especially with the long walkway to the dock. The cabins appear to be very luxurious and well appointed, we didn't stay in a cabin but wish we did. We stayed in the main building in a pet friendly king ocean view room. The reason for the lowered review is because the room simply wasn't up to par with the pictures and stark contrast from what we saw in the cabins which left us disappointed. I discussed this with the owners and hope improvements are made but the purpose of the review is to ensure your expectations are managed for staying in the rooms as I had some of the concerns that some of the 1 star reviewers had. Mold in bathrooms, visible dust on floors and baseboards and the area on the headboard and under was full of dust bunnies. This sinply is unacceptable. It's a great location, the view is great, the staff are great and all the cabins we did see seem worth the visit, but be aware the pet friendly main building rooms may not be correctly represented in the pictures and there certainly a lot of room for improvement. I hope this small business and possibly family owned proopety can become more successful as it is a place I'd like to revist one day.
• Rabindra (10/5): - Quiet and good location.
• Heike (10/5): - The location and ocean views are spectacular. The room was very clean and comfortable. A little desk and chair was missing and the blind was not closing. At check in we were not asked if we wanted to sign up for breakfast the next morning, which meant no breakfast at the resort, just coffee and tea but no food.
• Roxanne (10/5): - The food at the resort is excellent. Best seafood chowder around.
• Katelyn (6/5): Very friendly staff and amazing ocean view but did not sleep well due to noise. - Ocean facing balcony, clean, very friendly staff. Close to trail and beach. I stayed in the main building, its a wooden house with very thin walls and floorboards. I can hear everything in the room next door and downstairs. Doesn’t help when the people next door has the TV on after midnight and others in the building up and about early in the morning.
• Richard (8/5): - Write up offers a gathering place for staying guest but it does not exist
• Anne (10/5): - Beautiful sunrises and views over the bay. Great place for a getaway.
• kai lin (6/5): - I can understand this is a pet friendly resort. However, as as no pet owners. we smelled a very strong odour from previous guest before. We left bathroom vent on for 24 hours and patio doors opened. It lasted two days maybe we got used to it. We did explain to staff the next day but they thought its normal. Hot tub pool was lacking maintenance as once jet turned on. All sort of white bubble foam surfaced to the top. Steam room was not operative at time of stay as well. Despite those short comings, it's a pleasant location to stay for a few days. Hope the resort will devide guests to have pets and none pets.
• Hsuan (8/5): Recommended - sea view lower room not to see whole sea view, so next time I will choose front sea view room.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (10/5): - Comfortable bed and beautiful balcony view of the ocean. The pool, jacuzzi & steam were a great bonus!
