"Fabulous place, great staff and great resort."

"Perfect for a family vacation. Being on the lake was wonderful and complimentary kayak and life jacket rental. The breakfast is simple and good to start the day (muffins,crossiants, boiled eggs, waffle machine and mixed fruits). The beds are very soft. Coffee machine in the room. Can request for level 1, the balcony walks out to the garden and lake. Parking is very convenient ($10 if you book through 3rd party). "

"Very convenient location, clean, safe and spacious."

"This is a quaint little motel, clean, quiet. We have stayed there 3 years in a row. We only sleep there and are out all day and it’s perfect for that. Close to the harbour front."

"On our vacation we stayed at several hotels. This one was one of the nicest and didn't cost $500+ a night. By far a great value. The staff was also very nice:)"

"Lovely welcome on arrival and very accommodating with the ++ pillows for the family. Decent breakfast selection. Bit tight of a breakfast time for later risers on vacation 6-9am but manageable at a push with teenagers."

"This place has all you need, on top of being beautiful! On the contrary to other reviews, I think they communicate their facilities very clearly online. Service was also great from the front desk, to the restaurant, to the activity rentals. Pacific Shores has an absolutely beautiful sunset location too. The rooms are more on the dated side maybe but the theyre comfortable and efficient (we were in the suite so we loved the kitchen and washer/dryer!!). Our whale watching tour was also canceled due to winds so we were so thankful for the kayak rentals they do for free. We saw a couple of seals breaching out of the water and the view around the bay overall was so nice. Would love to visit again."

"Very elegant, staff are quite helpful and answered questions."

"the only thing we didnt like was the air quality that was not the hotels fault that was a forest fire we had to cancel two nights stay because of that for health reasons."
