The glossy page ads caught our attention! Wow, this look like an amazing place! The mountain setting and golf courses are amazing. The hotel itself is trying so hard to deliver that same experience. Not happening though. It begins with the lack of an airport shuttle so expect to pay $60- $70 for your cab ride there. The resort itself... more

Maybe the resort is just still getting the kinks worked out, but there are some definite problems. First, the staff is mostly incredibly young and not focusing on service. Are there only young people on "summer vacation" available to work? The three building arrangement is awkward (two hotel buildings and the fitness/pool building). We stayed in the Clubhouse which I... more

The best feature was by far the rooms, which were huge and up to date. The hotel and grounds are new, which are nice to walk around at night, but there's still lots of construction on the go and since its a resort its a short distance from town and about 15-20mins from downtown Victoria. Was a great place for... more

Firstly, we won a radio contest to the resort and had heard so many wonderful things we were really looking forward to our 2 day getaway. We were not disappointed! We expected we may be given a parking lot view on the bottom floor but got the golf course view top floor and the view was spectacular. Yes, there is... more

We visited the Resort with our adult children three years ago and were impressed with this resort and still are. The grounds are very beautiful, the pool is always warm but crowded and hard to find lounging chairs, the rooms have beautiful newish furniture & great "heavenly beds". Fairway rooms have mini fridges, coffee makers, nice small patios, two queen... more

I got a very good deal at this hotel so that undoubtedly made me look favourably upon it. Here are the good and the bad points: The Good- Great rooms-we stayed in the fairways building in what essentially an apartment with a seperate living room and a full kitchen. The location- despite there still being some construction work going on... more

Although I was hesitant about Bear Mountain, as I found the reviews a bit mixed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We upgraded to a King suite, with a nice balcony - delicious accommodations. Cooking your own breakfast after two weeks on the road was a treat. I was able to enjoy a cigar on the balcony while watching a volleyball... more

Stayed 1 night for with the Mrs. Pros - 1. big rooms (most have 2 beds) 2. nice view of golf course (patio joins with others - no barricade) 3. comfortable beds and showers. Cons - 1. do not get a room with a shared door with another room. Like someone said here you can hear everything from the adjoining... more

I live in Vancouver, but work each week in Victoria and it made my day when I found this hotel. The resort is made up of two hotel buildings set on a mountain, with a fantastic village being built around it. It works for me in so many ways. First it is close enough to Victoria that you can be... more
