We can not say enough to truly describe how amazing our stay was here! We had a group of us with two children (13&6) and it had everything we needed. Having the option of both outdoor and indoor swimming, plus the ocean, lit up walking trails, playground, restaurant… we could have just stayed at the resort the whole time. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL!! We will be back absolutely. There is a washer and dryer so if anyone needs a quick laundry cycle it is available, and the kitchen is stocked with many spices, oil, tinfoil etc. We just needed a couple groceries. The restaurant is delicious and great service. We got married on the grounds as well in a small ceremony and they were super helpful. You are very close to Parksville so we went mini golfing, and it was nice being on this side of Nanaimo for heading to Coombs, Courtenay etc. Honestly couldn’t be happier!
