    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!

    We had to stay somewhere being on the island (oh, correction!... Mainland) and our good friend…read morebooked us close to his residence... this place. There's a big banner over the pub stating room rates starting at $50 a night, really didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with what I got. I have never been on the Sunshine Coast and looking at things I was passing by, I really didn't have any expectations. After a day of not getting much sleep, some good boozing, being on the water, and chilling out with good friends, I was exhausted, like give me a bed so I can shut down. We were guided to this place and was amazed the backside was facing Pender Harbour, but how good can this place be, I mean it's above a pub. One flight of stairs after checking in we went into our room, they provide you two keys, one for the front door of the building, the other for the room (no scanning card keys, get your mind out of the big city life!), and no elevator, just a flight of stairs. We were lucky to have a room facing the harbour, it was clean, roomy, and quiet. No carpets here, which I actually like, as you know that it's easier for the cleaners, and also for yourself to walk around and know there is no build-up in the fabrics. There was a regular box tv, two night tables with lamps, a desk, a coffee machine, and a full washroom with tub and shower. You really have to take your mind out of what you see, or have lived in today and to a simplier time of yesterday coming to a hotel like this, many will think it is a motel for the size of the building and the ammenities but for what your getting for the money your paying, it is really good. Free parking up front, a liquor store that is seperate from the pub downstairs, and a tranquil view that you don't get in the big city. The staff there were very friendly and we had a very good sleeping night. Some things of note on our stay, the water pressure on the shower head was a little weak, and the blinds on the window didn't come down (it was like a portrait view out of our room thought) thank goodness it was a gloomy day or the sunlight probably would have been shining bright and waking us up at 6 am, but it was just nice to lay there looking out the window. If your this far on the Sunshine Coast, want value for the buck I wouldn't hesitate staying here.

Asked for a recommendation for another hotel, and the gal working in the liquor store was happy to accomodate. A little odd because the front desk for the hotel is also the front for the liquor store. Learned the building burnt down two years ago and they rebuilt everything. There's a liquor store and a restaurant in the same building.

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.

Tried calling the front desk to ask them to ask them to be mindful there are people downstairs. This did nothing. Was just dismissed, offered no solutions. And left to just endure this torturous experience. I'm now on day 2 of a three night stay and about ready to shoot myself. Poor construction. No transparency. 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.

Beware: if you don't own (which I didn't even know was a thing?!) you are a second class citizen despite what you are paying per night. "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. The guest above you were owners and come monthly. Typically, owners do not disclose whom they will be travelling with at time of booking as they book a year in advance. 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. If you choose to stay with us again, I would like to offer you a complimentary upgrade with your booking to a lofted unit. Kindest Regards, Sherri" Go to the Rockwater.

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. There is free parking on site which is always very convenient, and pets are allowed here too. There is a pool with water slide and a hot tub. 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.
