We went for a nearby holiday because we found a deal online for an ocean view suite. The resort definitely isn't much of a romantic getaway, it's more for families looking for a lazy way to camp. If you want to use the pool or hot tub, you'll find there is almost always a pack of kids eating potato chips... more

Tign Na Mara is a resort alongside other resorts set on a bay south of Parksville, a small town which has little otherwise to commend it. The resort is built of log cabins of varying size, and seems to do a brisk weekend trade in conventions, which are held in the central building. There are lots of individual cabins, which... more

Loved everything about this place - fireplace, log cabin lodge accomodations, seclusion, forest, beach, comfy bed, snow-capped mountains...would like to make our stay at Tigh-Na-Mara (means house by the sea) an annual event. Staff was so helpful and the food was good. Stayed two days - highly recommend a day trip to Tofina on the west coast (saw seals and... more

For a wedding present we received a weekend away at this resort for New years eve for 2 nights. We stayed in the highest category rooms (not sure the name). We had a fair amount of snow that week and the resort was covered in ice (side walks, stairs, and parking lot). The iced walkways were so awful that we... more

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this hotel. Seven years later we returned for a romantic getaway. Check in was fine and we stayed in an oceanview suite. For the price it was not worth it. The room was small, we could here noises from the other suites. The fan was far to loud and we felt it... more

We stayed here as the first part of our honeymoon and without doubt, of all the places we stayed, this was my favourite. We were in a beach apartment, with bed-side jacuzzi, gas-fire and huge balcony. The room was very spacious and being log-cabin style, very romantic. Rooms are clean and well equipped, particularly the kitchenette area. We enjoyed a... more

My third visit to Tigh Na Mara. We enjoyed the property and quiet, natural beauty of the resort. Seems like the high-end quality wasn't quite so "high-end" this visit. Found bugs in both beds. Blankets we took out of murphy bed had questionable brown marks on them. And the much raved about hot brunch turned out to be cold and... more

We did not plan on staying in Parksville during our trip to Vancouver Island. We had driven to Tofino from Victoria to begin our trip and our 11 month old daughter ended up getting sick from the long drive (5.5 hours) so we broke it up by deciding to stay in Parksville. We booked the room from a Starbucks in... more
