Property was in a good location right on the water with a beautiful sunrise. Restaurant was nice with a dog friendly patio which is why we stayed there. They were very dog friendly with mats, dog dishes and extra dog towels available for when getting off the beach.
Only downfall was a male staff member walking in our room when wife was in the room changing no knock with a do mot disturb sign in the door that he said he didn’t see. At least the second door was closed and the dog scared him out!

We stayed in an oceanfront room. It was extremely noisy from the restaurant and surrounding rooms due to very poor soundproofing, even at 11pm. The latch on the balcony door was broken. The bathroom fan also did not work. The property was not as clean as I would expect (e.g. dirty carpets). Room also smelled dusty after being cleaned (assume this was from the vacuum they used). It was also inconvenient to have to get pool towels from the front desk, sometimes waiting over 5 minutes for them. Overall I felt there were better options at this price point.

Thank you, Jordan, for the excellent service! Check-in was quick and seamless, and Jordan took the time to clearly explain all of the hotel’s amenities. What made our stay even more special was how welcome my dog, Bonzai, was made to feel with a welcome treat package. The warm welcome and attention to detail made a great first impression. I truly appreciated the outstanding customer service and would gladly stay here again.

room very clean, staff ok. great location. sea-view rooms are excellent. swimming pools are maintained very well. almost no effort to reach the extensive beach!
the only thing I am in doubt is I was charged for a destination marketing fee, and I am not aware of it at checkout and not sure it is mandatory to be charged. I think the staff should have told me about the charge regardless the amount.

We had an amazing 2-night stay at the Bayside Resort in Parksville! The resort is beautiful, the rooms were spotless, fresh, and incredibly comfortable, and the staff provided exceptional service from start to finish. We loved relaxing on the outdoor patio, and as someone who eats gluten-free, I really appreciated all the great options at the restaurant. It was also wonderful that the resort is so dog-friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!

The room was quite good- it would've been nice to have the ocean view but next time I would definitely book an ocean view room.The restaurant was really good for dinner with a view - unfortunately, they were not open for breakfast. They do have a little coffee shop with limited coffee and breakfast items.It was nice to be able to walk to the beach right outside the hotel very accessible! We will definitely be back. also, there was a nice pool. I wish I had. my bathing suit would've definitely used! Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous location. They’ve done a lot of updating over the last few years, adding a larger patio and a really nice outdoor pool. Our ocean-view room was a great place to relax on the balcony, and was very comfortable and quiet.

The restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food is fantastic! The on-site café has limited options, and tends to sell out, but it’s a nice amenity to have.

All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful.

We’re already planning our next visit!

The patio and path to the beach was being upgraded while we were there but it is probably fine now. The single elevator broke down for one day but the staff were quick to assist. it is a lovely hotel with a first class (expensive) and delicous dining room. More non seafood should be on the menu. The hotel was much older than expected from details on the internet but in excellent condition. The two items we did not like were:
1) No microwave oven in our room but one was available by the elevator on each floor and
2) Zero drawers for clothing or anything in the room.
The first time ever for both these items. Hot tub available but not desired and a beautiful/clean outdoor swimming pool but too cold outside for us.

Older property but feels freshly renovated. Staff friendly and helpful. Gym is big but equipment could be updated.

Only downside was waiting 30 minutes for breakfast. Seemed very slow with only a few tables busy but everyone waiting.

This property was amazing! Incredible views, very nice rooms. The restaurant is especially fun for happy hour. I really enjoyed bowls of the pools, indoor and outdoor. Good parking. We saw bald eagles from the hotel every day. And the staff was the best! We would love to go back.

We had a lovely king sea view room with a balcony overlooking the most stunning and quite mesmerising views. The bed was really comfortable and spacious unlike the bathroom which was tiny! The staff were friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant, again with that view!
Breakfast menu was disappointing so we skipped that. The small pool was well kept and we welcomed a refreshing swim after our journey.

We couldn’t leave our room because the elevator was not working!
I have physical condition that will not allow me to use the stairs.
So that took time to fix which cut into our vacation.
Other than that it was wonderful!

Beautiful property. Rooms clean and big. Very dog friendly ($20/night). Outside pool was warm and pretty. True resort experience.

Restaurant was great. Went for happy hour and dinner. Great happy hour. Highly recommend.

Only complaint. They charge a Marketing destination fee which I never heard and doesn't make sense why I'm paying for marketing ($5.40). I think it's a little predatory and tbh I'm tired of hidden fees so may not come back.

The views around the hotel are absolutely amazing, and the two pools and hot tub are truly wonderful. The property is also quiet and not too crowded, so there is plenty of space to relax. The walk to the beach is beautiful as well. The restaurant food was also very delicious, with generous portions.

The only thing I was disappointed with was the room. We booked the town-side queen beds room, but it looked older and smaller than it appeared in the photos. The view was not good, instead of seeing much of the town, we mostly saw the nearby building and roof right next to the hotel.

The biggest issue, however, was the constant low-frequency vibration and noise in the room for most of the day. When lying on the bed or even sitting on the toilet, we could feel the room shaking slightly and hear a very deep humming sound. I suspect it may have been coming from a large engine or mechanical unit installed on the roof or somewhere nearby. Luckily, the noise stopped after midnight, but if you are an early sleeper, it could be quite bothersome.

The lobby and restaurant were lovely and took advantage of the spectacular view. The beds and linens were wonderful as well as bathroom amenities. There was a loofa scrub, bath salts, black face clothes to remove makeup and much more.

One hitch was noise from the hallway. In the middle of the night, while wearing ear plugs, I was awaken by a beeping noise coming from the hall, third floor. I have no idea what it was, it continued for more than half an hour, so I am sure it wasn’t just a person walking by with an alarm going off. I looked through the peephole and no one was there. I didn’t want to wake myself up further by investing it or phoning the front desk. I eventually got back to sleep. The maids were great, but did talk too loud with guests in the hallway in the morning.

There is a sloped walkway down towards the beach, but it is mainly a gazing beach- tremendous views for most of the lower tide cycle due to the gentle slope of the sand.

Listening to seals on our balcony while enjoying our coffee was the highlight of our 2 day stay
Our bartender at the restaurant. I think his name was Cole?? Tall dark, curly hair, was wonderful.

We loved our stay at the Bayside! The views were spectacular. The rooms were clean and well appointed. Our kids loved both the outdoor and indoor pools (both were heated!). The restaurant was also delicious and nice to have such high quality food right on site. Highly recommend and can't wait to stay here again.

Beds were crisp and clean. Staff were nice.
Unfortunately our stay coincided with renovations being done to their waterfront, so access was limited to a path to the rocky beach below.
We booked a \"balcony\" room because - when love to sit outside and get the fresh sea air. I knew it wasn't waterfront, but was disappointed that the balcony had a thick privacy screen and overlooked the roof of the main building and into another building. I wasn't expecting a beautiful view, but it was loud - no ocean breeze/smell - and not at all pleasant to sit out.

Menu for dinner was great, staff was very kind. Found the property under a large amount of construction so that put a small damper on things. Not a heated pool either
