Overall, we liked the Aerie resort and we will likely come back though some improvements are needed. The location and views from villa Cielo are unbeatable. We stayed 6 nights and were given a complementary upgrade to Villa Cielo, for which we are very greatful. The villa is the newest of their buildings and it is really great. Rooms are... more

We recently stayed at the Aerie. We stayed in the main building. The rooms were fine - decor is a little dated and the plumbing fixtures were older brass-finished, but the view was great, loved the i-pod dock and the HDTV was also nice. The main building is great for relaxing - nice outdoor deck with furniture and fireplace. Great... more

I have been to the Aerie three times in the last year, and my experiences have been mixed. AND I keep coming back, that is the important fact in writing this review. I KEEP GOING BACK! I have stayed in the Ceilo Penthouse twice, the Residence Penthouse once, and have viewed various rooms via my friends and family who were... more

We stayed at a room in the Aerie in June of 08. My only real complaint is that the room was overpriced. We did not have any issues with odor or maintenance breakdowns. Our room was very clean and neat (but small). Our view was great. I do believe it was overpriced. We ended up paying about $220 a night... more

There is talk that this property will be redeveloped as a strata hotel, so one can understand why no recent effort has gone into sprucing up the units (ours was the "Aerie Suite which I can only describe as "Jackie Collins meets Florida retirement home"). Our suite was large but the tired wall-to-wall carpet, 1980s lighting, and sponge painted canopy... more

Having very recently visited friends in Victoria, British Columbia, it was recommended we stay at the Aerie Spa Resort. We booked and then read some recent reviews. We were concerned, but continued with our reservation. Wow, we were thrilled with the experience. The suite we stayed in was in the building that also houses the spa. How relaxing! The suite... more

Decor feels a bit "precious", but with views like these, who's looking at the room? They had a plumbing problem our second night there, where there was no hot water in the main building, but the staff were very solicitous, allowing us to use the spa facilities for showering. Overall, my experience was OK, but, given the choice, and at... more

As much as I would like to say our stay at the Aerie was everything that I hoped it would be, we were sorely disappointed. My husband and I wanted to go the Aerie for some time and were really looking forward to our stay. From the moment we arrived we were dismayed at the lack of signage and and... more

My wife and I visit Vancouver Island a number of times each year and have had seen the press and reviews on the Aerie for some time, and so we finally decided to try it in February 2008. The best way to describe our stay was “off”. As every review mentions, the view is outstanding, however that is only thing... more
