I have already left a review on Google but I felt like it was my duty to really expand on it here…read more This place is absolutely TERRIBLE. We showed up for our reservation with a party of 6 and there was no one at the desk - just a sign that said that there was no receptionist and to call a number. But lo and behold, when you call the number it just rings a cell phone on the front desk! Waited for an hour before a "manager" showed up. His first question was "what time is it?" before attempting the most half-hearted of half-assed attempts to assauge the many angry guests in the lobby. At some point he told all of us that the rooms weren't ready, they won't be ready any time soon, and that it is what it is. Did I mention he reeked of alcohol? After about 10 minutes he seemed he had enough of this whole ordeal and sped off on his golf cart. I counted at least 4-5 other groups, each with probably worse stories than ours. Showed up on time to their reservation, no one responding to them for hours, before an aggressive and confrontational man did. A lady, Erica, finally showed up to try and fix everything that had happened, but you could already see how far south things had gone. The only phone line was being left unmonitored for the entire day (a busy Saturday weekend). Guestrooms that you could literally just walk into, in various states of disrepair, some having been clearly left for multiple days with garbage piling up into the corners. Erica told us her partner, the owners nephew, was coming over to remedy the situation - but that it would still take another 2-3 hours. Erica eventually managed to get us some bedsheets and toiletries. But even after we personally lined all the beds and threw out all the garbage, it was still way too gross to sleep in. So we left. Got back on the ferry, cancelled a weekend trip and just - left. It's crazy. You pay $300+ a night for a room and you get service worse than a dive motel. I'm sorry but avoid avoid avoid. We spoke to multiple people who had come by who all voiced their concern that management had gone extremely south. Owners, if you're reading this - take control of your business before its too late. And Erica, bless your heart - but run far far away from this, for your own sake.

I am rating this resort 3 stars here but I do mean 3.5. Yelp won't let me give partial ratings. Had…read morea lovely 3 night stay in one of the ground floor ocean front suites. The location is super. Your view is a quiet marina and the mountains and ocean surrounding. See my photo. We got our exercise walking up and down the stairs several times a day to chill on the dock and relax. The hotel rents boats and kayaks but we didn't partake this time. Our room was very spacious and was clean. The king bed was comfy and there was lots of room for luggage. The bathroom was big too and seems fairly recently reno'd. There is a jetted bathtub but unfortunately the night we tried to use it we ran out of hot water before it could fill. The kitchen has a full sized fridge and dishwasher but isn't fully stocked. For example, there were no paper towels, recycling bin, or ice or ice cube tray. We had to buy ice from a bar around the way. The BBQ worked very well! The room was somewhat dated in terms of decor, especially for the price, I would expect a bit more. We used the hot tub daily. The sun deck area has a beautiful view but sadly, only 2 lounge chairs on their last legs. As we treated the trip as "glamping" this was not a huge bother but those expecting a 5 star resort should lower their expectations. Overall, I would return as the setting and vacation was enjoyable for us and we felt very comfortable at the resort. I could have used another day!

It had been over three years since our last stay at this motel, and I must confess that this fact…read moremade me more than a little anxious. It isn't an uncommon occurrence for businesses to lose their mettle over the years, and let standards slip. However, I was stunned into silence when we arrived, as the owner of this motel actually raised her standards, instead of losing the plot. The grounds were immaculate. The rooms were like new despite the passage of time, and many guests over three years. There was just just one element to our stay that was less than endearing: our neighbours. On our first night, we chose to ignore all the noise next door, as we were extremely tired. On the second night, the noise commenced early in the evening, and by 11, it had worn us down completely. I wish I had approached the owner of the motel sooner, as she sorted out the problem instantly, and gave me her after hours number in the event the noise resumed. What a relief! Over three years later, and I still love this location very much. Highly recommended.

These cabins are nice. The bed is so comfortable and they even have heated flooring in the bathroom. The cabin we booked came with so many things that you would never get from a hotel (I.e. toaster, cutlery, plates, fridge, etc.) and for pretty much the same price. Honestly, if I had plans to goo hiking in the area or boarding at Whistler, I'd make this my god to accommodation. It's also a 10min drive from Alice Lake. One thing to note, and by no means is this a complaint, but bare in mind that not all of the cabins have a decent river view, but accessing the Cheakamus is only a couple minutes away. You can definitely hear it though and it's actually very relaxing to fall asleep to. Info: - The staff are very friendly - Fergies cafe is located here, which is a huge plus. - The parking spot is conveniently located right in front of your front door, which is very helpful if your unloading a bunch of bags and equipment. - Check out is a breeze. You just drop the key off at a box in front of the office.

You can also call them after hours if you need help with anything! It was a bit rainy, but this actually highlighted the colors of the forest! Everything was more vibrant! Around this time is the beginning of autumn, so most trees were green with a few yellow trees! It was perfect! Everywhere you look is a photograph! The campfire was great. We used it every night! The lodge was amazing! We used it for bbq and karaoke (that we brought ourselves)! Fergie's Catering for our wedding was fine dining! The river was beautiful, and made everyone want to explore! The couple's cabin was super cute and cozy! It was difficult to leave as we had the most perfect wedding! Having our families stay in the cabin made the wedding last all night! It was the best experience! Our family loved everything and hopes to come back!

They replied and said it had expired and that's it, nothing else they could do. I replied stating that in BC, vouchers & gift cards cannot expire, I sent them the relevant sections of the BC Consumer Act, and asked again if there's anything they could do to help. They replied and said it was expired and nothing they could do about it. I had thought they would credit the amount paid towards a stay, or helped in any way, but they didn't. They ignored several other emails, including emails requesting the legal owner, and the address for filing of a claim. The only recourse I've had to do now is lodge complaints with the Consumer Protection BC, and file a law suit to recover the amount I paid. I'm out from a voucher that was worth $500. 0/5 - Would not recommend.

The room overlooks the inlet and it's just beautiful. We came back this month and it's now under new ownership and Adrian looked after us throughout our stay. We stayed in the African Queen room this time and we loved it! One evening we had the wood burning stove. So many little details in the room. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was huge. I wished we could have stayed there longer. It's a great place to go to just unwind. I also took advantage of the spa and had a massage and facial. The breakfasts were amazing! Adrian served them in our room, such a great way to start the day. If you have an electric car they have 2 ev stations that you can plug your car in. We will definitely be coming back again!

Our family along with another couple stayed in the Timberloft Cottage, which is a separate house from the main bed and breakfast. Staying in the cottages, you are responsible to make all your own food, but you'll have all the peace and privacy needed. There's a BBQ beside the front door and your own private hot tub on the lower deck. Inside on the main level, there's the living room, dining room, balcony, washroom and a queen size bed. Keep in mind that the walls aren't fully closed off from the main living areas so if you're a light sleeper, that might be a problem. There's also a skylight so you won't be able to sleep in unless you bring something to cover your eyes. Downstairs, there's a king size bed with washroom. It's a lot more comfortable downstairs as well as darker and quieter. The patio doors open to the hot tub from the room. I was in constant communication with Chris who is one of the owners before getting to Sechelt. He helped answer all of our questions and even went above and beyond to look up some details for us. Thank you! The only thing I would suggest is to install an air conditioner for the cottage because it got to a point where it was uncomfortable. Other than that, I wish we can visit on a yearly basis.

We did not have breakfast here as we were hurrying to our next destination. Give yourself more time than expected as there was a line when we were checking out around 9 am.

The place was packed with people, especially children since it was the last week of Spring break, There is also a gym here. Our room was surprisingly big. There was a sitting area with sofa and fireplace. There was also a microwave besides the usual fridge and coffee maker. No bottled water. The bathroom was equally spacious with a big bath tub and seating area. You could fit two in it. Same with the separate shower area. I do not understand why there are showerheads on both ends though, Maybe to save time if you are there with a partner to shower? Checking in and out was quite a breeze. No issue on that. Free wifi, not spotty at all.

No consideration from either the people upstairs, nor the resort themselves. Got this on a BC Ferries vacation package thinking it was a good deal. No deal is worth this. If you value your sanity at all, don't ever consider this place as a vacation option. I will never stay here again.

"Thank you for your email and your concerns about the noise coming from the Villa above you. I do agree that the noise from units above can be off putting.

These owners were made aware of their disturbance to you while staying below and did try their best. Unfortunately, we were not able to move you as we were fully booked that weekend. I apologize for the inconvenience this caused you during your stay. I do hope that the rest of the resort amenities and your stay was to your satisfaction.
