8/10 Good

"Clean and well maintained, however the bed was too soft. Good value for the price."

Sea Edge Beachside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love most of the upgrades but definitely prefer a tub to a stand alone shower. The smaller rooms still have a tub. Such a beautiful location but was a bit irritated by other guests smoking near our building vs in the smoking area. Staff tried to intervene but guests continued to smoke throughout our visit. Have stayed here many times and this was the first time it was an issue"

Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful setting full of tall trees by the ocean makes it feel like we're "glamping". Amazingly close to nature/ocean front parks such as Madrona Park at Nanoose Bay, cathedral Grove at MacMillan Park and Coombs Market. Not to mention what a great walk on the ocean floor when it's low tide. Feels like it was at least 2 kms walk out to the ocean during lowtide. So much to see and experience. Great restaurants and activities close by, including Parksville Community Park with 8 beautiful pickleball court."
