The deck on or room looks out over the water and we have been blessed with some of the most mild October weather for the Pacific Northwest I can think of. The sunsets have been breathtaking... Shannon, who runs the front counter is super friendly and accommodating. She set up our whale watching trip yesterday on the fly and we were on the water in less than 45 minutes! Whitney, the resort's mascot/resident dog, is a great treat to meet as well. She has been enjoying the sun as much as we have. She also likes to follow you for more pets and scratches... This is a great get-away destination place. We have been walking everywhere we need to go in town because it is absolutely near everything. It's fantastic!

We borrowed the hotel bikes (which were free), and rode all over the city and to the beaches. We even extended our stay by an extra day because we loved the spot so much. Was a bit pricey for us, but we felt it was totally worth it. Highly recommend. I also hear they will be doing renovations in the fall, and all the rooms will be new and ocean front.

Everything was cozy. I loved the warm room and natural light let in by the large skylights. Because it's couple-y, I suppose, there was no phone in the room. When we wanted to book sea kayaking, the owner made the phone call for us. The two rooms labeled "Forest View" are in a building separate from the main one. A storage room is between the two, so it was totally quiet and felt all to ourselves. I really didn't mind not having the Ocean View. We could still hear it, or go out to the common deck or down to the beach. The Great Room where breakfast is served has a wonderful view, and has a telescope for birdwatching. It opens to the deck with a hot tub, and stairs down to the private beach. See photos and descriptions on their very thorough website. They also have winter rates for the storm watch season! Free Wi-Fi in the Great Room (which, I suppose, might reach the rooms in the main building).

However, none of these rivalled the warmth and hospitality of Sue and Drew, the wonderful couple that own and run the establishment - and their funny and social dog, Malcolm. Without them, the Inn would just be another inn. While this is definitely a romantic spot suitable for couples, I visited with a friend and it was just as enjoyable. The Inn is in a super location, private, yet close to the Wild Pacific Trail and within walking distance of the town of Ucluelet and its restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a getaway in Ucluelet!

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!

Whether you choose to hang out in your cozy room and gaze out at the ocean, enjoy it from the great room (strategically constructed on the second floor), or take advantage of the firepits and adirondacks, a walk on the beach, etc,you really can't go wrong wrong here. It's truly a great place to retreat and enjoy the sea. We found the room to be clean, cozy, and well updated. Service was good throughout the property and the grounds are well kept. On this visit, the food was better than our last and I had the opportunity to chat with the chef who goes out of his way to design a menu that is as inclusive (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, etc) as possible-- which I personally appreciated very much. The great room is a great place to bring a book or a game and enjoy the view, beverages, snacks (or a full meal). On this visit, we felt a little more pressure than we'd have liked to continue ordering food & beverages despite being told we could just hang out & enjoy the couches. If you are wondering about the EV charging-- as of this writing their are two ev chargers up by the gift shop. They are very slow chargers. In one instance there was a non-EV parked in one of the spots which is always a bummer. That said, we were always able to charge when needed.

I contacted this resort to make general inquiries about hosting a 2 day Board meeting and was…read moredisappointed by the reception I received from Annie. Once I mentioned that we are a First Nations organization, I felt the tone changed. Suddenly, I was told there was no availability, and the responses became short and curt. I was told the person responsible for bookings would get back to us "when she can," but my contact information was not confirmed. I cannot speak to the reason for that change, but the interaction left me feeling unwelcome and that our business was not valued. If the resort could not accommodate us, a courteous explanation and a clear follow-up process would have made a difference. Hospitality begins with how you treat people even during an initial inquiry. Based on this experience, I would be reluctant to book here.

Aside from the unique structure, we really liked this hotel because it was a beach front property close to restaurants/grocery store and had a fully equipped kitchen. The view from our balcony was beautiful - whether it be in the morning or evening. The hotel may look a bit rustic outside but we liked how modern and clean the washroom was. The kitchen also had complete and proper kitchen items we could borrow throughout our stay. Parking is next to the studio which made it very easy for us to load and unload our things. Guests observed silence in the evening which helped make it a pleasant experience for everyone. Customer service was mostly done by text. Check in and check out were easy and the procedures were sent by email. We also received reminders by text. When we had questions, the staff was a text away. This was very convenient for us and the staff responded quickly. This said, wifi and cell reception worked well during our stay as well. We would definitely stay here again!

Included breakfast was decent with boiled eggs, fresh fruit, fresh croissant, bagels, toast, ham/cheeses, and juices/coffee/tea. The negatives- The first lower level ocean view room with patio we stayed in the first night we checked the linens and bed as we normally would - discovered the sheets and pillow covers were past their prime and had that well used scent. Worse the duvet was likely hardly or never cleaned and had many stains, liquid spills/accidents, and what seemed like old blood. We notified the staff the next morning of this. Our second night we stayed at a upper level ocean view room with patio and checked the linens and bed - this room had similar condition linens and pillows and duvet didn't have as nearly as many stains. Sorry but these are not items an establishment can cheap out on - to clean thoroughly and/or replace when needed. There are no excuses for these conditions. Also no television in rooms or lodge.

Room options include 2 lodges plus triplex and duplex cabins with us choosing room 28, a second floor queen in the Headlands Lodge. In 2004 and 2006 we stayed at the adult only Lodge on Beach, but found the rooms too small. Our room had a micro patio offering a pretty good view of Mackenzie Beach if one leaned out over the railing. The lodge is very eco friendly going back to its original construction and furnishings. The setting is drop dead gorgeous with unobstructed views of Middle and MacKenzie beaches. Every employee we encountered throughout our stay proved to be both friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast is offered each day that covers the bases, but it became repetitive after 3 mornings. Dinner is served in season at the Lodge at the Headlands 5 nights per week with appetizers available in the Great Room beginning at 6PM. The evening's appetizer, lemon guacamole crustini, was excellent. At 7PM everyone joined a conga line for dinner that featured an entree of poached Chinook salmon with a spicy tomato chutney and lemon linguine. Three excellent salads were served buffet style - spicy quinoa, green beans and a mix salad with orange segments and roasted squash. Desserts included a choice of chocolate lava or mille-feuille. The chocolate lava cake was unexpectedly dry, the only misstep of the evening.

Gorgeous hotel - the internet is just a nightmare. That being said... It's three days after I got back home and I don't know of any place in Tofino or the end of the road here that has decent wifi. so.... Perhaps you (and me) need to turn off the wifi, close the laptop and shut down the droid or iOS device and enjoy the gorgeous room, sip wine and chat, before or after walking on the beach at Cox Bay. So screw my tip at the top and come here pronto. I love this resort. g

Pros: - Location. It is right on the beach. You can't get…read moreany closer. - Washer/dryer in the room. This was extremely handy! - Heated floors in the washroom. - Even though it was a shower/tub combo, the tub was awesome. These kind of tubs are usually awful, but this one was great. We want one at our house now! - Full kitchen. Cons: - The wifi is beyond slow. Not only is it slow, but it didn't work in the bedroom. The only spot it would work is in the living room. If you are going there and plan on not using the Wifi this won't be an issue, but if you need the Internet for anything (netflix, email, ect.) this WILL be a problem. - The parking. We had to park at the end of the lot each night and it was pretty far from our room. Wish it had parking outside of each suite like some other hotels, or at least get rid of the huge circle driveway that's sitting there taking up valuable space. Overall it is a nice hotel on the beach for a reasonable price. Wish they would update their Internet (maybe invest in some new routers that have a better range?), but we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
