Top Vancouver Island Hotel Reviews

Naturally Pacific Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. Fresh clean lines. Beautiful outdoor patio and amenities."

Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed my stay at this resort. We stayed at the cottages, efficient layout, separate bedroom and living space, clean, full kitchen, and modern fixtures. A bit of road noise from Ryan Street, nothing too loud. Only suggestion is for resort to add some chargers for EV/PHEV, nowadays, you need this. Even if it was a 110V plug accessible at the Cottages, or certain parking spots. Level 2 would be even better. All in all, a strong recommend!"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oyster Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean hotel. Would stay again!"

Fairways Hotel on the Mountain

"With the exception of some noise travelling from the adjoining room on one of the nights on our stay, the experience was great. We loved the location, the amenities, the friendly staff, cleanliness, and roomy lodgings. Lovely experience."

Black Rock Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Really impressed with our spacious cabin with kitchen, living area and full bathroom. Just a few steps to the beach. Everything was wonderful."

Thunderbird Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay here for two nights while we visited the area for my partner's birthday. We both agreed that the bed in the room was our favourite part. It was like sleeping on a supportive fluffy cloud and we both slept so well which is new for us. The staff were lovely, the room was clean and the shower water pressure was out of this world good!! There's a mini fridge and microwave and sink but no dishes or utensils so bring your own or hit up the dollar store a few blocks from the Inn. We had planned on getting breakfast and dinner at the diner that is featured in the listing for the Inn but it looked long closed down and boarded up so we had to pivot. The coin operated laundry was such a bonus because we anticipated getting damp on our night kayak tour and the whale watching tour. We fortunately didn't but if we had gotten wet on day one and there wasn't a laundry room we could access, the nightmare of putting on wet clothes for the next day's all day tour would had significantly brought down the experience. So it was wonderful to know we had the option of clean dry clothes if we needed it. Parking was ample, location was central, supermarkets, food, Starbucks etc, all close by. The rubber covering on the stairs to the upstairs rooms was a little scary as the step edge fittings weren't quite attached and we definitely tripped a few times going up and down. A great expereince all round. Thank you!"

Qualicum Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely renovated (still in progress), very clean, beautiful location across from ocean/beach, convenience of restaurant, which we enjoyed and food was very good..Amenities were enjoyable, sauna. Hot tub and pool...everything was very well presented and clean...Bed was showing some age and could you replacement, but otherwise, enjoyable stay..."
