A really nice resort, our room was decent, unfortunately we had one on the ground floor so meant sitting outside the front overlooking the car park with our 2 bins out the front.

Staff were great, onsite restaurant definitely worth a visit. If you stay in the studio's like we did just ask for a studio on the first floor.

We had a lower suite ocean view. The view was good but of course, a higher unit would have a better view. I was very impressed with the decor. It was newly renovated and it showed. I loved the little touches from complimentary coffee in refillable jars, high end quality unisex refillable bath products, nice glassware (including wine glasses), clear instructions on how to use the murphy bed (which had nice linens and was much more comfortable than a fold out couch), easy access to our netflix account for the evenings when you are done with the beach. So quiet and on one of the most beautiful beaches on Vancouver Island. The staff were quick to respond to a few queries that I did have, and responded with solutions in a timely fashion and all with a professional but very friendly attitude. Check in and check out was easy. The only disappointment was the fabulous AC did not have an outlet vent in the bedroom. We asked for a fan which helped resolve the issue for us. A 10 out of 10 experience. I would definitely stay in one of these updated units again.

I had a wonderful one-night stay at Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything exceeded my expectations and gave me a true sense of peace and relaxation.

The resort has a beautiful beachfront and the surrounding grounds are absolutely stunning. The atmosphere is quiet, serene, and perfect for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.

The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional, making me feel at home throughout my stay. My room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained.

I truly enjoyed my time here and left feeling refreshed and relaxed. I highly recommend Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway on Vancouver Island. I will definitely be back!

Tigh-Na-Mara is in a beautiful setting with many on-site activities for their guests from young children to teens, adults and seniors. Their rooms and cottages are extremely clean and luxuriously appointed. Rooms with ocean views are relaxing retreats with balconies that extend your living space.

The property has acres of forest and beach to explore and enjoy. It is also located close to many fun destinations in the local communites.

The staff is extremely friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. They are very helpful if you need help with your activities plans as well as with your needs as a guest.

We really enjoyed our time at Tigh-Na-Mara!

Check-in was a breeze thanks to Tyler—our one-bedroom unit, with a kitchen that faced the water and was very comfortable. We've stayed at Tigh na Mara before, it is a beautiful hotel with cabins, pool, hot tub and workout area. The number of trees surrounding the site makes you feel like you are really in nature with the comforts of home.

Front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Had a great meal at Cedars where staff were equally accommodating. The Grotto was so relaxing and just what we needed! Would return for sure!

The view from our room was great. Staff tried to upsell us to move to a higher floor for extra $60
We were staying one night to celebrate our anniversary and going to the grotto the day we checked out. We added on the tapas last minute and asked whether we could have a later checkout. The gentleman at front desk was rude and could have just said sorry we cannot accommodate you. But instead he went on this rant about how they have other guests checking in, he cannot hold it for us for 6-8 hours unless we pay $40 per hour and it doesn’t matter that we have grotto. He could have been much nicer. He was not friendly or maybe having a bad day. We did drop a lot of money on our room, grotto, tapas and ate at the restaurant for dinner on arrival so maybe he needs to treat guests a little nicer. The pool and hot tub are very outdated and tiles were missing. Our room was gorgeous and view was stunning and we enjoyed the grotto and tapas.

Nice place but rooms are dated and basic and some things need attention. The spa was lovely but there were a couple of really loud couples there when we were there that made not hard to enjoy the experience.

I would like to share feedback about my experience with the front desk.

I asked if it was possible to switch rooms, and the front desk staff spoke in a very unfriendly tone. It made me feel like I was asking for something unreasonable or trying to get a free upgrade, which was not my intention.

We are three families traveling together, and I only asked if our rooms could be in the same area. He replied that the hotel has 200 residents and said he could only check if I had 15 people. The way he spoke was very mean and dismissive.

Later, I called again to request changing from an ocean view room to a non-view room, which is a downgrade. He said he would check. When I called back about five minutes later, he said, “We just talked one minute ago,” in a very impatient and rude tone.

The location is terrific. Room was very clean, but was pretty dated, and smaller than I had imagined from the photos.

This property is way overpriced for what you get.

The rooms are 'rustic' which translates to dated.

The bathroom door was peeling from all the years of condensation.

There are lights on the outside of the doors, which cannot we covered. They light up the room.

Fantastic stay!

The room was clean and comfortable, but what made it truly special was the outstanding service from front desk staff, Navdeep. He was warm, professional, and went out of his way to help with every request. The Grotto spa experience was great as well.

The balconies were nice, the overall facility was nice, the spa was excellent, and it is very understandable why this is a popular place! It's expensive but what isn't these days!

WARNING ⚠️ One thing that really bothered me was the amount of spiders & spider webs surrounding the bedposts, and throughout the facility (i.e., light fixtures in the dining room, cobwebs
