We wanted to be right on the cliff overlooking crashing winter storm waves! We tried to make plans in 2024 for their offered 4-day Christmas special (room, tree in room, ornaments for tree in room, breakfasts and Christmas Day dinner) but by mid 2024 the rooms for that time period were booked. Waited to early 2025 this time and were excited to get into a fantastic Deluxe room king size bed on the third floor of the Pointe Building. So, where to begin with all the many amenities, attentive staff and management interactions! Room was a very clean rustic appeal and looked right over surf below. Meals in the circular area were all fantastic choices, the drinks enjoyable. They provided water waders and raincoats so we were able to walk on the beach next to the Inn and that was an amazing experience for us. Huge wide beach that went on for miles. Sand was hard-packed so really no issue of getting stuck. Our weather was accommodating so not much rain and great walking time. But when not traveling a bit along the coast the room was a great respite and relaxing experience. While winter is normally a rougher time to travel to Tofino, I can imagine it is wonderful to go there in the other seasons as well. Next visit perhaps Autumn!

Looking for the ultimate romantic getaway? Private hot tub, warm fire, gorgeous views kinda trip?…read moreThe Crystal Cove Beach Resort in Tofino is an absolute must. But wait! They are also the perfect options for a family trip with kiddos. Rent one of 30+ cabin or tree houses for a week and you'll never want to go back home! This resort has the most amazing staff, they are always smiling and offering to help in anyway they can, whether it's a text to see if you require anything, to opening the door when you've got your hands full! Their property is fully equipped with a playground with tons of fun wooden structures that the kids will love and get hours of play from. Perfectly located steps from the beach and a hop, skip and a jump to town. In their office they have DVD's, board games, coffee, tea, an adorable herb garden just outside the doors and a social area. They even have a box of toys and beach gear for the kids to play with! Our log cabin was amazing! We were stunned how everything was included in the stay as well. In our private secluded cabin we had a cozy outdoor area to enjoy breakfast and a good book. We had our own BBQ which comes with all the tools you'll need to whip up an amazing BBQ dinner. Our very own private hot tub, we took full advantage of that! It had all the bells and whistles and was the perfect night cap to a great day. Inside we had a massive fireplace with all the wood you require to keep your cabin as warm and cozy as you'd like, we only put one log on and it lasted all night long. Not to mention the rooms were already warm with in-floor heating that kept our toes warm! The shower is beautiful and fits 2 for sure, felt like a rainforest! The bed was massive and super comfy. I love how they have a full kitchen, it literally includes every single kitchen tool and gadget that you might need to cooking, baking, roasting, BBQ'ing, shall I go on? They even have a Cabin Stocking Program where you leave it to them to stock your cabin so you arrive with groceries and everything you need to settle in! I haven't been to a resort that literally thinks of everything! Missing something? They will ensure it's on your doorstep asap! There is so much to see and do on your vacation to Tofino, but you'll definitely want to set some time aside for perusing around the hotel grounds or just enjoy a cup of coffee on your balcony and enjoy the sweet sounds of the crashing waves and the smell of fresh air. The grounds are well kept with beautiful flowers and not too much clutter to distract from the natural views. You're only steps away from all the outdoor adventures your heart desires, from paddle boarding and kayaking, to hot springs, fishing and hiking. Bonus, they are pet-friendly and also offer up to 60 private RV spots! Don't have an RV?They have 9 Glamping RV's you can rent as well! It's crazy because there was a vehicle in each spot but I didn't seem many people around, we were truly secluded in our private little nook which nice for a change!

I've been wanting to see Cape Flattery and the Tatoosh Island Lighthouse for several years…read more  This summer, that's what my family and I finally did. We booked 3 cottages at Chito Beach Resort in Sekiu, Washington. My brother and his wife stayed in The Birdhouse (whose deck officially became our favorite hangout spot) We spent many memorable hours there, enjoying the ever changing views of the sea, wildlife, and spectacular sunsets. My sister stayed in The Wolf Den. I stayed in the cottage adjacent to hers, The Lighthouse.  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the Lighthouse Cottage. The bed was soooo comfy. Water pressure was great. So much attention was paid to every charming little detail. Nothing was overlooked.  And that view!  On Saturday night the owners, Tamara and Matt had a little get together around the bonfire with all of the guests at Chito Beach. (There are a total of 6 cottages) They were wonderful and gracious hosts who served us beverages and DELICIOUS appetizers. They made us feel very welcome there.  After I got back home, I sorted through the MANY photos that I'd taken, and decided which ones to post on Facebook.  As gorgeous as some of them are, I think some of the pictures of the sunsets at Chito Beach are even more stunning than my photos of the Cape.  Especially on our last night there. Truly magical and almost otherworldly Our time there was an experience that our family will treasure forever.

Oh, the beautiful scenery! The tents and the horse drawn carriage amidst the luscious backdrop seriously makes you feel like you're in a superbly set LA production. Oh, I didn't even get to the 5 course dinners with wine pairings or the 'death row' where every bar, cookie and candy you could wish for is presented in glass jars. Being from the Bay Area, food is top priority in all travel. We were VERY pleased with the food. Chef even prepared our salmon roe for us that we caught during our stay. Yes prices are not cheap but you literally get everything included. Food and drinks, excursions (sans the heli excursions) with personal guides, seaplane transfer from Vancouver airport, massage, and a beautiful tent. If you stayed at any luxury place and paid for all the excursions separately it would ring you up quite a bit. It's more than fair! They are going through some transitions so it'll be interesting how they fare the next year or so. Was a family trust, so more of a lax feel from the guides (maybe a couple could be more knowledgeable?) and wait staff (did you forget my coffee again?) but the soon to be GM seems to have the tools to sharpen up the workers here. They're genuine which I love, and make you feel at home. Super fun to travel to a place where kids roam around freely, guests enjoy dinner together (met some very cool people we intend to stay in touch with!) and people are enjoying living in the moment sans phone. Can't wait to go back! Oh, brings me to another thing. Starting next year they are no longer doing a 3 night stay, I think minimum 5. Total bummer since the reason I chose this place was the ability to come for a weekend and not have to make it a 'vacation' and take a whole week off.. You guys want to make an exception?! Longest review ever.

The food is incredible- mostly farm to table, you have an opportunity to enjoy superb Canadian wines (which you can't get in the US), and the staff are gracious and ready to answer requests. The tents have been upgraded recently and they are spacious and very luxurious. You are able to enjoy the mountains and river without even leaving your tent. The activities range from horse back riding, to kayaking, to fishing, to hiking through old forest growth (1,00 year old trees) and more with guides who are so knowledgeable and personable that you just have the most enjoyable experience. By the time we ended our stay, we felt like we were saying goodbye to family. This definitely ranks in the top two vacations we've ever taken in our lives. Many thanks to Sarah and her amazing staff. We can't wait to come back! Suzie & Joe

PSA (that did not change my star rating) If you're a Tesla driver thinking of booking here because…read moretesla destination chargers are advertised, be aware that they do not exist as of Labor Day 2023. There is a now a single, high demand, off brand charger here. It works fine but there is much higher charging demand than there are chargers in tofino. So, if you get lucky enough to plug in here please keep an eye on your charging and move your car promptly so everyone can charge up as needed. It looks like there were additional chargers here recently and they were out of order and then removed but the internet hasn't yet caught up. Tofino Resort & Marina has a beautiful website that really sells you on the property. It is not as much a resort as it is a group of three associated businesses. The buildings are exterior entry older construction, which has somewhat been updated. We ended up with a first floor room. It faced the water and sort of had a view from outside. We weren't expecting a view so this was fine. The unit had a separate living and sleeping room, which was nice and gave plenty of room for all our gear. There was even a spot outside to hang your wet gear and plenty of room for shoes and what not. The walls featured beautiful photos and the white on white look was nice. But, overall the rooms were just not very cozy. Tofino is in a level three drought so we skipped showering since we were only there two nights. We did enjoy dinner at shelter both evenings. We didn't get to experience the adventure center because we arrived late on day 1 and their hot springs excursion was booked up the full day we were in town. They do have a variety of interesting looking excursions though! We liked that the location was walkable to town. We also walked down to Tofino brewing one afternoon. It would be awesome if they added a rental bike fleet to their offerings so you could just park your car and easily get around to the further flung places. I would maybe stay here again as I thought the price was resonable-ish for the area. The hotel itself felt very mid-- not great, not bad.

There's a little deck area in front with two chairs if you want to hang out. I like the nice design touches on the furniture/hooks, it all felt very fresh and modern. The kayak tour was great too, esp since we could just walk across to the marina. As hotel guests, you get 10% off. Our guides were Johanna and Kali, who were both great. They gave great recs, we're knowledgable, and made sure we were all safe. I'm glad we could explore more protected water rather than fight the open sea winds. Overall would recommend this hotel and the kayaking tour! I only wish we could've stayed longer!

It was a 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a sofa couch. Surprisingly both were very comfortable. There was a full kitchen with pots, plates and utensils, but no tin foil. The outside tub is a tub; not a hot tub. Filling it up half way takes up all of the hot water for your unit and then you have to wait 90 minutes for your hot water tank to reheat. That was the only downside as the water in the tub went cold within 20 mins and we were forced to wait another 70 mins to take a shower. Also, the hot water in the shower only lasts about 5-10mins so you have to take very quick showers.

The resort is immaculately maintained. Staff are very pleasing and accommodating. Our room was clean and hand sani was readily available. We booked an beach front suite and was completely blown away. Our backdoor opened up to a vast expanse of greenery which was 15 steps to the beach. Filled with picnic tables, fire-pits, hammocks, lawn chairs that face the ocean...what more can you ask for. It was a staycation 2.0 for sure. Upon entering our suite, a bottle of complimentary wine was waiting for us. All kitchen utensils were complete and ready for our use, properly sanitized. In the lobby, check in was a breeze. Free Rhino coffee and hot chocolate 24/7. A small service pantry was available if you forgot anything ...every detail was thought of and prepared for you. For guests, a free smores kit is being handed out for guests to enjoy the fire pit and bond around a campfire. Bike rentals can also be had for a mere $15 for 4 hrs or $30 the whole day. Our pet got to stay for free, with no extra pet cleaning fee, as a courtesy for returning guests. And of course, we were accorded a late checkout for us to enjoy our stay more. From the moment you wake up to the sound of the ocean and the cool breeze going through your window, you are surrounded by nature's beauty all around. Such an excellent place to relax and unwind and feel the sand between your toes. Miles and miles of beach to walk and explore, and the water provided a welcoming relief to the scorching heat. Yes, it is a bit pricey, i must admit. But once in a while, you have to treat and love yourself. This place is simply amazing. Watching the sunrise and set and see the glow of the beach at night from the moonlight, reminds you that life is beautiful. A must go for everyone. A must try for first timers. A must add-on for your bucket list. Explore your own backyard. Cheers! Happy exploring!
