This spa is unique, picturesque with plentiful staff that are friendly and helpful. The different types of accommodation were thoughtfully and tastefully arranged on the property. The quality of the food was first class (if pricey). The kitchenette and gas fire made the room much more comfortable. Some of the equipment in the gym could be better maintained; and it would be a bonus if the pool beside the gym had thermal water. Having bars of soap for handwashing in the room would have been helpful. And there was too much furniture in our room; moving it so we could open the Murphy bed was a challenge. And the tile floors in the room could helpfully be heated.

Beautiful location, well maintained and clean. With respect to the Grotto Spa, the spa services were really good however our schedule didn’t allow us to use the mineral pools on the first day we arrived and so we were going to use them on the second day but we were told it would cost us an additional $50 each. This is after we stayed at the resort overnight and spent over $400 per person on spa services. We were really disappointed.

When we checked in we were told that no working in house staff would be available. We entered our unit 510 and immediately found out that the closet on the right after entering was broken and part of the door could not be opened. The next thing we discovered was when we would flush our toilet the toilet bowl would not re-fil which required me to take the top off the tank and play with the parts to get the flush to re-fil. This was required every time we would flush the toilet. Next we discovered that the stopper in the sink did not have the part required to open and close the sink and we had to use two knives to open in order to brush our teeth without having the sink fill up. Then the first morning I could not use the sink to shave as the sink would again be closed and would require us to use knives to open again if we could. This did take some time to do the first time and we did not want to have the sink full of water during our stay. When I reported the above information when I checked out, the agent did say sorry but I would have thought some adjustment would have been awarded to us for our aggrivation that was experienced by us, but was not. Very doubtful that we would go to your property again. Perhaps we would attend at one of the other properties available near your property. I have checked them out. Thank you and have a great day.

We saw a double rainbow on our beach stroll and had a lovely mineral bath in our room with a jetted tub, we stayed in one of the bungalows, a bit of traffic noise due to proximity to the hwy, but still lovely.

I booked a one night stay here with my family after spending a week in Tofino so we could break up the travel. It was a hidden gem. It reminded me of the place in Dirty Dancing. Cute cabins spread out, sports court, great spa, fitness centre and pool and beach access. Also the highlight was probably Cedars restaurant. I ordered the short rib and gnocchi and while we enjoyed the food in Tofino this was probably the best meal we had all week. We will definitely go back for a longer stay.

Stayed here for a pit stop with our kids. Have stayed before and was hoping to get oceanfront view and pay for ungrade, when we arrived we saw oceanfront suits were under renovation. And they had stuck us in a bungalo suit next to grotto, i didnt realize when booking that's where we would be. The bungalo suite seemed not very kid friendly, it had a murphy bed at the foot of your bed, was right beside the adult only grotto and it was extreamly far to walk to ocean. We were pretty upset and not wanting to stay. The front maganger made some.phone call.and we were able to upgrade to the cabins near the beach. Now those were much more suitable if your traveling with kids 2 bedrooms a nice cozy fireplace, super close to pool, easy walk to beach It was perfect and just what we needed originaly!! So overall our stay was great, a hickup in the begining made it an amazing stay the the night. We would come back to thise cabin suits or oceanview only And we will be more careful when booking.

I really enjoyed the facilities especially the spa. Loved that the property was a five walk to the beach. But our room needed some updating because it resembled my parents house in the 90’s. It was clean on the upside.

Considering the cost of the room - it seemed unreasonable that check-in was not permitted until after 5:00 pm and check-out was expected by 11:00 am. Our room was advertised as "ocean view" but was actually on the ground floor and had a view of a fence. No sign of the ocean. WiFi did not work. When we informed the manager, he was argumentative and unhelpful. Most of the staff were lovely but the manager had such poor people skills that we decided not to ever return to the resort.

Great resort for many years, but the property is getting old and dated. No AC, so gets a bit hot at times.
