Another couple and ourselves shared an Oceanview 2 Bdrm.Trail Suite. The wraparound views from the living rooms and bedrooms were nothing short of spectacular with tidal pools, trees, rocks and the waves of the open ocean beyond. The suite contained great amenities, including full size fridge, dishwasher, cooker, microwave and washer/dryer. We did plenty of late afternoon entertaining with friends at the spacious dining table and the outside balcony. The bedrooms had large King beds and our only complaint was that the TVs were somewhat tiny. The bathrooms were very spacious, with radiant-heated floors and, best of all, a soaker tub that enjoyed views through the bedroom to the outside via sliding glass panels in the bathroom wall. We did have some problems with closing and opening the doors from the bedrooms and living room to the balcony.
The architecture of the entire hotel complex is West Coast Contemporary and has a very different feel to its more traditional and pricier competitor, the Wickinninish Inn, further up the coast in Tofino. We booked the spa package and the ladies very much enjoyed the somewhat spartan pool/spa facilities after a morning of ocean fishing from the nearby marina. Our one dinner at the hotel restaurant was enjoyable with a great sunset view. The service was attentive, but the food was not overly memorable.
Overall, an excellent choice for a private, near-luxury level getaway to Canada's Pacific Coast. Be sure to spend a little more money to book the full oceanview rooms.
