I wanted to share the ebb and flow tides with family that never experienced it before. This site delivered that experience exceptionally. Ice cream and fast food available. We were very pleased with the location. Exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful and quiet with an amazing nature experience
High tide the water was almost to the road
Ice cream with a view

OK place but bad management

My overall lower rating has nothing to do with the facility which is good but with the overall bad management of the facility. I selected this place because I needed a unit with a kitchenette. When I was planning my very long trip in western Canada, I couldn't find anything affordable around Tofino, so I decided to have a second night in Qualicum Beach at the same location. I made that second night reservation the same day as I made my first one. I have travelled extensively around the world and I have sometimes added night at a same location. Each time, that hotel was smart and organised enough to realise that it was the same person making another reservation and simply adding a night to the reservation. However, the staff at Qualicum Bay resort were not organised and smart enough to realise that I had added a second night. This mishap resulted in me having to check-out from my first room and move and check back in to another room in between my two nights. Totally unsatisfactory! Although the rooms were clean and comfortable, we were left with a very sour taste about all the warning notes in the cabins about noise, smoking, or other matters. What's the point to have all these warnings when management staff does not enforce it! On our first night, there was a lot of noise very late in the night in the unit next to ours and more people than the allowable limit. Since there is no management staff on site after 9pm, none of their multiple rules can be enforced. Not good!!

This was a great pit stop for one night on our way UpIsland - it was clean, very quiet and right across the street from the beach. Loved that it was pet friendly and had a big fridge as we were traveling we had supplies with us. My biggest negative comment was that the bed frame had a frame that proceeds out from The bed on all corners and its a tight space - I hit my knee about 5 times so I left with a purple black and blue bruise from hitting it multiple times… I’ve traveled a lot and it’s one f my biggest complaints- should never be that way in a hotel . It was also very bright in the morning - without a sleep mask I would not have been able to sleep for the early morning. If it had been a family retreat for a longer stay I would have been disappointed- but as a travel along the way it was perfect and we will stay there again .

We were pleasantly surprised at the size of our 2 bedroom cottage, made our stay very comfortable with our dog as well. It was very clean but surprised there was no coffee maker, so bring your own, otherwise it was great. The view of the ocean was beautiful.

It's unassuming, off the highway near the ocean. There was no pool so the advertising was incorrect. There's no signal in the area so wifi isn't that available. The room was pleasant and the bed comfortable

The property was a little rough on the outside but it was clean inside. Unfortunately the "pool" was a swimming pond that was under construction and the "waterslides" were closed due to smoky air. We had already hyped it up to the kids so the disappointment was palpable.

Run down

A very rundown property in general. Grounds are overrun with rabbits, lots of broken fixtures, etc. The room itself was fairly clean and the beds were newish. Otherwise very basic. Our biggest disappointment was my child. Was looking forward to using the swimming pool and the waterslide which were advertised on the website, but they had been closed all summer and no one updated the website. Office staff was friendly but it appeared. They were having to cover for mismanagement on a higher level.
