Guest Reviews

• Roslynne and Jeffrey (10/5): Excellent all around! - Clean, comfortable, fabulous view, great location right on the water, beautiful area in front of the motel to sit outside with loungers, tables & chairs and a BBQ.
• Kat (10/5): Quiet, peaceful, serene. - Calm, beautiful setting right by the ocean. I loved that the ocean was right off the hotel property! Parking was a bit tight at the back of the hotel.
• Suanne (8/5): - The view from our room was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the water and spotting seals. Loved walking along the ocean. Enjoyed walking along the ocean and easy waking access to restaurants/pubs. The bed felt like it was pulling us towards the middle, but otherwise comfy.
• Nancy (10/5): We had a comfirtsble, wonderful get-away in a beautiful location. - It was really clean… beautiful view of the ocean… comfortable bed… quiet (in spite of its location on Island Hwy) Nothing… it met our expectations
• Eugene (9/5): Would stay there again. - backed ocean, great view, easy access and parking nothing
• Robert (10/5): Great Vacation Place - The accommodations were spacious and very well maintained. Full kitchen with microwave, coffeemaker and coffee and tea, etc. The place was quiet and the grounds were beautiful with direct access to the seashore. My unit, 104, has a deck with table and chairs. I have already recommended it to friends.
• Nelson (8/5): -
• Donald (10/5): -
• Ellen (10/5): Super Appartement auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt - Das Appartement bestand aus einem großen Wohn-/Schlafraum, einer sehr gut ausgestatten Küche als separater Raum und einem großen Bad. Vom Balkon hatten wir direkten Blick zum Meer. Für jedes Appartement gab es einen Parkplatz direkt vor der Eingangstür. Die Mülleimer wurden täglich geleert und neue Handtücher bereitgelegt.Was für ein Appartement doch außergewöhnlich ist. Den Zugang zum Schlüssel und die Rückgabe war einfach und unkompliziert. Wir haben nichts zu beanstanden.
• Donna (9/5): -
• Sharon (9/5): - Located by the seashore. The suite was very clean and a good size. Parking was tight.
• Bob (10/5): A real gem and best value in the area. - The property is older but very well maintained. It’s right on the ocean so it can’t get much better than that. Very clean and quiet. If you like having a kitchen, our unit had a full kitchen and was stocked with all the things you need. The owners are on the property and make sure everything is tickety boo. Nothing.
• Diane (8/5): -
• Dan (9/5): -
• Nicole (9/5): -
• Litzenberger (7/5): Great location. - Excellent location. Very clean. Amazing outdoor space. Fixtures are dated. The bedroom space is roomy enough for a larger bed.
• Rita (8/5): -
• Lloyd (10/5): - Value for money, grest view, great facilities 😀
• Susana (8/5): Amazing location and great views - The Ocean view The walls are too thin and you can hear the next door people talking
• Samuel (10/5): - Everything, the room, the view
• HAGEN (8/5): -
• Arie (9/5): It’s a great place , and we would absolutely stay there again. - Nicely laid out. The beach is your back yard. Great location. Parking for the guests on the road side was a bit sketchy sometimes , as you couldn’t always see the traffic coming.
• James (10/5): Clean, great value location with beach access. - Well equipped, good bed, very clean, access to beach were all great. All at a budget price. Location along the beachfront and a 15 minute walk to downtown. There was nothing we didn't like.
• Lynette (9/5): Wonderful experience! - Great location! Excellent views! Clean and comfortable.
• Shari (8/5): - The staff member was lovely. It was very clean. It was a great price.
• Minke (9/5): Heerlijk - Netjes. Fijn dat er koffie en thee aanwezig was Heerlijk bed En rustige kamer De douche Had wat meer waterdruk mogen hebben
• Gilbert (10/5): Super! - Il y a tout ce qui est requis dans un petit espace. Parfait comme emplacement! Rien
• Lisa (8/5): -
• Vishakha (6/5): - The view of the beach. The owner’s assistance. Little bunnies hopping around the property. Cleanliness. Bathroom surfaces were dirty. There was a lipstick stained glass in the kitchen. The bed was fairly clean but the side tables and dining tables were covered in dust. So were the blinds.
• Linda (8/5): -
• john (7/5): -
• ROBIN (8/5): room has been updated and mostly well maintained - room was very clean nice views bed was kind of 'springy'
• Elizabeth (8/5): -
• Brenda (7/5): -
• Don (9/5): Excellent location and spotless facility will have us returning in the future - Great view and right on the beach Parking is a little tight, expecially if you drive a truck
• Amy (4/5): Mid - -Location -Quiet -Office does respond quickly. Though 1 of the 2 times we called the issue was not fully addressed. -Terrible wifi -It could use a deep clean. On the surface it was clean, but the bathrooms particularily need a deep clean of window ledges, fixtures, corners ect -It comes with a kitchen, but is very very basic and cooming during your stay isn’t really possible unless you pack cookware.

• Edward (10/5): - Had everything we needed for our stay, nice location. Staff helpful
• Moira (4/5): We didn’t actually stay the night and checked in elsewhere. Good if you are on a budget. - The view out the back was lovely. It is a motel style room with front door onto a busy road. Quite dated but was very clean.
• Annick (10/5): Fabulous - Fantastic view and close proximity to the ocean. Lovely garden with patios and chairs though the weather did not allow for much use of it. We enjoyed walking on the beach and found downtown Qualicum beach beautiful and very convenient. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and well furnished. We would have loved to have stayed longer!
• Irene (10/5): - The motel was a pleasant surprise! Very nice and clean, and well priced. Wonderful view from the room, good staff...hoghly recommend
• Andrea (8/5): -
• Grant (8/5): -
• Lynn (8/5): Room was clean, spacious and a good location - It was spacious, clean and a good location.
• Chantal (7/5): A good value if you're looking for a short stay. - The view was ok but not as good as expected due to narrow view from small balcony from room 101. The kitchen was well equipped, frying pans were in good shape. Full sized fridge. Very clean. Front desk was not very friendly or accommodating. No chance of early check in and then door locked until exactly 3pm. Parking is almost dangerous since it's right off the main busy road. There is a deck on the lower level that we could see but we were not told how to access. The tiny shampoo envelopes are impossible to open without scissors.
• Ian (10/5): - I had a great stay at this resort. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. Suite was very clean and spacious with ocvI'd stay here again
• Mario (9/5): -
• Anja (10/5): -

• Francis (9/5): -
• Wilson (10/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): -
• Stephen (8/5): - Lovely location. Rooms were nice. Peivacy is questionable. Neighbour on the balcony was up till midnight yacking had to ask them to be quiet.
• Tori (9/5): -
• Jo-Ann (10/5): - Quiet, clean, good bed, nice kitchenette and beautiful views. We will be back.
• Hamid (6/5): - I like the beach front location of this property. There is no AC in the rooms, which makes it inconvenient during hot summer days. The fan was not working initially and they had to replace it. Carpet was very dirty. Paint peeling off. No amenities like EV charging, or restaurant and food service etc, especially for a property at this price.
• FRANCOIS (10/5): - Beau petit studio face a la mer Terrasse Calme Vue superbe Rien
• Ronald (9/5): -
• Kimberley (8/5): - Right on the beach. Clean friendly owners Full kitchen nice area
• Martin (10/5): -
• Roland (9/5): -
• Kerry (10/5): - This is a lovely little property with well appointed suites, a great view of the sea and a lovely little sea view balconey. Nice gardens and a sea view patio with loungers and tables. There is a natural swimming pool in front of the motel that fills at high tide and is great for swimming. Would love to return.
• Darlene (8/5): A peaceful, scenic spot to stay in Qualicum, but yet very close to everything by car. - It was our first time staying at the Buena Vista. It is waterfront with a nice common patio and access directly onto the lovely beach, where you can swim, or walk. We enjoyed the quietness and relaxed atmosphere. It is truly a get away spot! Everyone we came into contact with were very pleasant and our accommodation was very clean. We will definitely stay here again! Just a note letting people know that this is an older place, but our suite was extremely neat and clean.
• Don (10/5): Very relaxing stay - Location and services Satisfied
• Jamie (10/5): - Lovely setting with access to the beach just meters away.
• Catherine (8/5): Very enjoyable stay in a beautiful setting! - Quick access to the beach. Beautiful location! Very Quiet. Wifi and had Netflix for evening time. 5 min drive from everything!! Parking was available but very difficult to park as off very busy highway! Bath mat should be replaced as we didn’t use it, grungy. Recommend replacing with non stick strips for safety.
• John (9/5): - The location - right on the water - was beautiful, and the room looked out at the water. The beach was quite rocky but location was near the city beaches that were somewhat better. And it was a short drive to town. The grounds were quite nice. Room was spacious and reasonably well equipped. Proprietor was very friendly and helpful. Comfortable. Mellow. Provided shampoo and soap in plastic tear-open sleeves that were impossible to open with wet hands... would have been better to have fixed pump dispensers in bath/shower. Wifi was a bit slow and room wifi did not work so had to use wifi from another room. Access to parking in the back was very narrow and required great care to avoid hitting car on bushes or building.
• Jonathan (10/5): - Loved this place!! Very quiet and very clean, everything was amazing and I would definitely recommend staying there.
• sheila (7/5): -
• Gary (10/5): Very relaxing, beautiful location. - Everything went well. Right on the ocean, outdoor patio with barbecue, lounge chairs .
• Amber (10/5): - This is my second time at the Buena Vista. There will be a third!
• Leonard (9/5): -
• Shannon (10/5): - Loved the space in the room. The bed was comfy. Really liked the outdoor patios and that we could walk directly out to the beach!
• Angelika (9/5): -
• Janet (10/5): - Beautiful location and view
• Paul (10/5): Absolutely lovely! - The location is superb. The rooms are exceptionally clean and well equipped.
• Bill (10/5): - Perfect accommodations with a beautiful view!
• Kenneth (9/5): -
• Christopher (10/5): Perfect location if you’re looking for a sea view -
• cindy (10/5): relaxing vacation - It was perfect! The motel is clean, and very comfortable. The owners have made it a home away from home. They are super hosts. You can go to the beach right from the beautiful deck and garden in the back. It is so quiet and friendly. Easy access to multiple trails for hiking, and golf if you would prefer. The sunsets are breath taking from your own balcony or sitting on the large deck, which they provide, lawn chairs, and tables. Great place to relax and enjoy your holiday.
• Rob (10/5): - Huge patio was awesome - lots of room. Quiet & private. Right on the beach. Very friendly staff Very clean. Will be coming back!!
