DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Review of Vista Del Mar…read morePending review Hi everyone, Let me tell you a tale... I rented a room for two guests on Thursday, August 23, 2018 for about $110. The owner / night manager completely misread a situation where two of my friends attended our room to check up on my guest who was resting at about 10:30PM. He ended up yelling at them to get off the property and busting down a locked and bolted door to wake up and kick out my guest. My friends and guest were compliant and left but the owner continued to chase them onto the adjacent property demanding return of the room key and threatening to call the police. We gave the key to him immediately and he advised we could return the following day for a refund. I returned the next morning at about 9AM, very disappointed and advised I would like my refund for the room. The same guy was working. I assume he owns the place. English is obviously not his first language, and he's very difficult to understand. He advised sternly that I would not be getting a refund and that he was going to bill about $1000 in damages for the room - that he caused when he broke the door down - to my credit card. When I said that would be unacceptable and tantamount to theft, he stated he was going to call the police. I don't know if he actually did, but he advised someone on the phone that I was "threatening him at his place of business". Untrue. I left peacefully as I had other things to do besides dealing with this nonsense. None of us are trouble makers, and the owner / manager's actions were completely uncalled for. There are plenty of hotels / motels in Campbell River that have treated me very well over the years. This was the worst experience I've ever had as a patron / guest. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I would give it a negative 5, if I could. Best regards, Johnny

We had a family reunion here this summer, and was so pleased with this place. There were about 50…read moreadults and children total. We rented three houses: Cottage 11, Preece Cottage, and Seale House. Each had their own kitchen. Preece Cottage: The largest of the 3 that we rented. There are 3 floors of bedrooms plus a loft. The kids all loved sleeping and hanging out in the loft. Plus side to this house, it's large and accommodates a large number of people. Downside: it accommodates a large number of people. That house was always busy. Beautiful view from the bedroom balconies, though. For parking for this house, our family used the small parking lot next to the house. Seale House: My immediate small family was assigned to the Seale House, and I am so grateful. There are 3 bedrooms downstairs each with their own separate entrance from the outside as well as a closet room that we used as a 4th room. Two of the rooms downstairs had their own bathroom inside the room. The third room (which we were assigned) did not have its own bathroom, but there was wan directly across the hall which was pretty much our own bathroom since everyone else had their own bathrooms. There is a 4th bathroom upstairs that the "bedroom" upstairs used as their bathroom. For parking there is room for about 2 to 3 cars right next to the house, and we parked a 4th car lower (but next to the exterior entrances to the bedrooms). Cottage 11: Smaller of the 3 houses. Close to the water and water activities launch site, but the least favorite set up of the 3 houses for me. I believe they parked up in the lot across from Preece. Activities: There are scheduled activities both in the AM and PM that you can sign up for. Each day is different, so check the calendar for the week. The AM activities usually cost money, but I think all the PM activities were free. We did "zip lining" one morning. It's great for beginners and those wary of heights, but if you are looking for more of a thrill, this is not it. WildPlay (which many of the family did prior to Strathcona) sounded much more thrilling. For this zip lining course, one has to walk across a balance beam and then a tight rope to get to the platform to zip line, and it's just the one line. Other family members did the rope course the next day which looked more fun. Water activities was worth the money. You can rent a canoe (small or large), kayak, paddle board, etc for the whole day (or by the hour). We would rent one or two of each and rotate use throughout the day. I recommend the canoe or kayak and paddling to the smaller islands to explore swim holes, and just the islands. Pack a picnic lunch. We definitely got our money's worth from the rentals. There's also a swimming area and a sand volleyball court. Hiking: There are trails on the property, but most of the family also drove to some of the nearby waterfalls. The favorite was Myra falls (about a 40 minute drive out). The pictures of especially lower Myra Falls was absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had gone to Myra Falls instead of the zip lining. Dining: There is a restaurant onsite, but we never ate there. We purchased breakfast and lunch items from Costco on the way to the lodge, and for dinner, we had prepared stuff ahead of time and had one large group dinner each night. Dinner was held at Seale House one night. Another night we had a BBQ by the pit. The first night we arranged ahead of time for the Salmon dinner. Because of fire warning, they could not cook the salmon over the fire pit as usual. Instead, they baked it in the oven ahead of time. NOT recommended. I think it would've been better cooked in the fire pit. Overall, this was one of the most relaxing vacations I've had. Lodging was great. Scenery was BEAUTIFUL. Weather was perfect (we went last week of July). Plenty of activities (water activities on site, hiking trails on site, and waterfalls nearby). Free WiFi only at the main lodge. No cellphone coverage. If you need to go to the store for something more than what they sell at the general store at the main lodge, you need to go into one of the next towns, which is about 30-40 minute drive either direction. Highly recommend, and would definitely go back!

This place has some pros and cons…read more Cons: Depending on which room you get, you are either very pleased or feel that this place is the hotel that the 80's forgot. My friend and I checked into a double queen room and the minute we walked into the room the heat that accumulated during the day enveloped us - some rooms have AC and some do not (ours did not). My understanding is that if you need two queen beds you do not get a room with AC (if you only need one bed then you have access to rooms with AC and updated furnishings). We showed up during a heat wave in the area (mid August), and there was a small fan that helped alleviate some of this, but the lack of AC was problematic. The room is definitely in need of an update. I am originally from Eastern Europe and I thought the room was akin to some communist-era Eastern Block hotels that I had stayed in during late 80's and early 90's. I am sure that eventually all rooms will be updated with new furnishings and AC but we checked in before that happened. The room only had a single window, with no screen, that opened outwards to allow fresh air in. Unfortunately, the hotel shares parking with the attached strip mall and it opened directly onto said parking lot. So, late at night you would hear the car alarms, engines, etc. if you needed to keep the window open. Earplugs area a remedy for this, though it is not the most comfortable way to sleep. Pros: Beds are comfortable and linens are of good quality. Also, this place overlooks the ocean straight so walking out the front door of the property allows for some incredible views. Most rooms above a certain floor have great views (I was on the second floor so we weren't high enough). The staff is very friendly and they have a restaurant attached to the hotel that offers complimentary buffet breakfast for guest (from 7am-9am) with typical breakfast staple foods including bacon, eggs, sausage, potato and toast. The hotel is in walking distance to the main commercial area that has restaurants and shops as well as the marina and whale watching excursions. Ultimately, this place is in dire need of an overhaul, though, it is probably okay for a night or two in the colder months when AC is not needed. If you are OK with one bed ask for an upgraded room.

The reception desk was really friendly and gave us the option of express check-out, meaning we could leave our room card in the room and they would complete the check-out process without needing our physical presence. The layout of the building is confusing - there are several buildings and we were at the back; it took us a while to find the entrance because it is located at the back, which is quite a awkward. Now, to the location....it is beautifully situated by the water - the main road lies between the hotel and the ocean. The view is spectacular, there are no questions about it. There is a pub-style restaurant right by the hotel but to our disadvantage, they are closed on Mondays & Tuesday! There isn't much within the walking vicinity of this place, except for a little Asian-fushion place, which is about a 10-minutes away. If you want something to eat, you gotta go out 15 minutes. Anyhow, it's a lovely place to relax and unwind. Enjoy a nice cuppa coffee by the water and a cosy outdoor fireplace.
