    If you are visiting Nanaimo for a few days or if you are a local looking for a relaxing weekend,…read morethis is a must go place! The resort is beautifully situated with a lot of amenities like an outdoor hot tub (open till 11pm), a fireplace that you can book for free and free parking! I rented the town house which sleeps 6 people (2 bedrooms and 1 pull-out couch). The place was super cozy and came with a BBQ set in the backyard. The backyard was a garden connecting 2 other town houses and was very well maintained! We also saw so many bunnies hopping around it was super cute. The staff were super friendly and very easily accessible. We were allowed to use the hot tub and packing space even before our check-in time which was great! Since we went during the Easter weekend, they also had an Easter egg hunt for all guests which was so fun! The town house was very well maintained and came with laundry, dish washers, microwave, ovens and utensils. 5/5 experience!

    Great place for families! Booked a 1-bedroom suite and it's…read moreso nice to have the extra space. Full kitchen and laundry! Single-use supply of detergent provided so bring your own for longer stays. Each unit has their own BBQ. 2-bedroom options available. One thing to be aware of is that if you're not in the main building, you need to carry your bags up stairs if assigned to a non-ground floor unit. We had a ground level unit which was awesome to walk out from - kiddo could use the patio and central area like a backyard. Upper units have balconies. Pool area was contained. Cons: - Very weak wi-fi. I basically used data the whole stay. (We were in the 200 building) - Gym has older equipment and is not temperature controlled. It's positioned to look out at the pool. Nice in theory, but it's crazy hot once the afternoon sun hits and goes though the all glass front. Combined with no A/C, the gym is basically intolerable from afternoon to early evening. - no on-site dining. Closest restaurant is Cedars at Tigh Na Mara next door Overall a good stay for families, with some areas for improvement.

    We rented a "Cypress" cottage for three nights via Expedia for late December, so this is a winter…read morereview. Our rental was owned by the resort (as opposed to being owned by an individual, which some cottages are). We found our rental very homey. It was spacious and layed out in such a way as to allow independent activities in different rooms that didn't impact the other person. The "resort" in mid-winter was quiet. The cottages are arranged close together, and it's easy to look into the windows next door. It's a tolerant jaunt to the beach and Rathtrevor Provincial Park, though not ADA accessible. If ADA access is needed to get to the beach, drive to the park from the resort (about one mile). The beach and park are outstanding in winter. The resort staff were very helpful and downright chipper. When we checked in, they kindly and patiently explained what was to us a unique style of accommodation (cottage rentals in a resort). Complaints and concerns expressed during our stay were graciously received, also. The kitchen was very good; plenty of accouterments and appliances. Note that the only food in the kitchen was salt and pepper. Bring spare paper towels and napkins. Washer and dryer worked great, and included one load's detergent. Bring detergent. The fireplace was either on or off, no adjustments. It heated the cottage quickly. We never figured out any of the three televisions' remotes, which didn't matter b/c we didn't want to watch TV. Could have been fresh batteries were needed; spares are recommended, as we changed the dead ones in the cottage clock. Beds were okay, with plenty of blankets. Bathrooms were fine with plenty of linens. Lots of closet and dresser space. Great layout in the cottage; very easy to move around.

    We stayed here in the summer of 2017. The interior of the cottage was pretty nice, but definitely…read moreon the smaller side. The owner was a little anal about how clean we had to keep the cottage -- this led to us being a little stressed out the whole time about being meticulously tidy (the owner probably just pockets the "cleaning fee" to be honest). The indoor pool on the property was kind of strange. The pool itself was nice, but it was quite muggy and unpleasant in the building. One pro is that it is in a very close proximity to the beach and the fun parks. We might consider staying here again.
