A group of us stayed at the Canadian Princess Resort for a long weekend getaway in Ucluelet. Upon…read morearrival, we drove up to the front office to check in and get our room keys. The front desk clerks were very nice. In the lobby, they have a water dispenser which I ended up visiting a few times a day to refill my water bottle. Our room was a family loft upstairs at the end of the resort. We drove one driveway over to park and unload. Not sure if they have accessible options for those unable to take stairs, but the gravel steps from the parking lot to the building were a little treacherous in the rain. Survived, though so all was okay there. The family loft had two queen beds on the main floor with a sink and bathroom. The upper loft area had two twin beds. For our party of five (2 couples and 1 kid under 10), the arrangement was a bit wonky. Ideally, we would have had a split of the queen and twin beds so the parents could be with their child, but it didn't quite work out that way. I wasn't a fan of the shared space having a separate sink from the bathroom. It was a lot of thinking ahead about what I needed to bring in the bathroom with me when showering or dressing. It wouldn't have been as big of a deal if we weren't sharing space with other people, but it took a little extra thought since we were with others. The room had a small TV, a good-sized refrigerator, a small microwave, a Keurig coffee maker, a kettle, 2 mugs, and a handful of disposable cups. The room was on the older side and had a musty smell, but it was clean. The walls and ceilings were pretty thin... I was paranoid about 10 PM quiet time, especially since we had a very energetic kid with us. No one complained though, so that was good. We were worried that our downstairs neighbor's dog would be keeping us up as we kept hearing it bark on the first day, but that turned out to be a non-issue. The view we had was of the harbor and boats with the misty mountains in the background, which was nice. We didn't realize it until after the first day but they weren't doing any housekeeping, so we went down to the office to request for more amenities like fresh towels, more coffee, and more toilet paper. The location was pretty central to town, so that was helpful to get a good walk over to the Wild Pacific Trail for a beautiful, scenic hike (2 miles to get there & back, 2 miles of hiking) and for hitting lunch and dinner spots nearby. Overall, this place was a bargain. The people were very lovely. The rooms could use some upgrades. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a good a value in a central location.

Most importantly, Joe was an incredible host! We had rented a car for the weekend to drive from the ferry to Tofino and back, but when we wanted to leave on Sunday after checking out off the hostel, we found out that the wipers weren't working (it was raining a lot). Joe then invited us to stay as long as we had to wait and even called the car rental company to make sure they found a solution so that we could go back. We ended up having a great afternoon sitting in the kitchen, drinking coffee, and chatting with him. He's such a warm and friendly person, I'd recommend this place to everyone who plans to visit Tofino.

We wanted to be right on the cliff overlooking crashing winter storm waves! We tried to make plans in 2024 for their offered 4-day Christmas special (room, tree in room, ornaments for tree in room, breakfasts and Christmas Day dinner) but by mid 2024 the rooms for that time period were booked. Waited to early 2025 this time and were excited to get into a fantastic Deluxe room king size bed on the third floor of the Pointe Building. So, where to begin with all the many amenities, attentive staff and management interactions! Room was a very clean rustic appeal and looked right over surf below. Meals in the circular area were all fantastic choices, the drinks enjoyable. They provided water waders and raincoats so we were able to walk on the beach next to the Inn and that was an amazing experience for us. Huge wide beach that went on for miles. Sand was hard-packed so really no issue of getting stuck. Our weather was accommodating so not much rain and great walking time. But when not traveling a bit along the coast the room was a great respite and relaxing experience. While winter is normally a rougher time to travel to Tofino, I can imagine it is wonderful to go there in the other seasons as well. Next visit perhaps Autumn!
