Top 10 Sand castles Hotels

Fabulous weekend, excellent facilities, great service. Ocean views are world class. Cedars Rest was excellent. Extended us several nice 'extras' because it was our anniversary. Quiet, peaceful setting on the ocean, fabulous beach.

My husband and I really enjoyed our three night stay at the lovely and historic Crown Mansion Boutique Hotel in Qualicum Beach. Our tastefully decorated and comfortable one bedroom villa had two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private veranda. It was so peaceful and relaxing at the hotel with beautifully landscaped grounds backing on to a 50 acre Heritage Old Growth Forest. We spent an hour walking on the trails through the spectacular park. One night we even saw a pair of deer grazing on the lush grass in front of our villa. Dinner at the Sapphire Room at the hotel was first rate all around with a delicious meal, great service and ambiance. We will definitely return to this very special and unique inn.

Actually we couldn't get to Ucluelet because of wildfire road closures and needed somewhere to stay for 2 nights. Accom in the area was tight because of the wildfire but they offered us a suite in their sister property half a kilometer up the road and we couldn't have been happier. The gated development has a communal seating area outside with sunbeds, seats, barbecues and a firepit. The views are supurb with sea views from the lounge area and bedroom in our suite(no 5) inside it is very well equipped with everything you are likely to need. Staff are friendly and attentive, all in all a great stay with nice memories. Thank you QBOS, the only reason I don't give a 5 is that a safe would have been hood, most people travel with passports, cash, cards, even jewellery but to be fair not many places have had a safe on this trip

Scenic! That piece of beach is said to have geoducks, but after digging a few times, there is no harvest... Maybe our level is not good. The downstairs restaurant has a small shed and dinner can be reserved.

We chose the Bayside Resort in Parksville due to its oceanfront location and facilities, and were not disappointed. Though an older property, it has been recently and tastefully refreshed. The staff were welcoming, and we had an excellent room on the top floor with the breathtaking ocean views. There must have been at least half a dozen bald eagles constantly flying by. The beds were comfortable, and the balcony was amazing, equipped with great chairs. The restaurant was good, however closed too early - as many things do in Parksville. The pool was nice, however a pity it no longer has a roof to keep things warm. I would definitely look to stay here again when in the area.

No breakfast, but a simple kitchen, you can help yourself. The hotel is an ordinary motel with simple and functional facilities. The scenery is really good. The hotel is conveniently located next to the road.

When looking for a girls get away with my daughters and granddaughter, I came across this little gem. The resort was prompt to reply to my email questions and after booking they followed up to see about upgrading us. Upon arrival we were greeted and had all questions answered. The rooms were clean, appeared recently updated and the basic cooking utensils were there. We attempted to set up the TV streaming service however the wifi did not appear to support this very well with spotty viewing. We enjoyed seeing & visiting the Qualicum Saturday Market, Little Qualicum Falls, and Coombs. The evenings were quiet. This looks like a great spot for family fun in the summer with the pool, waterslide, play areas and other family activities. I certainly recommend this spot.
