Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort

Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent
"**MUST DO ON VAN ISLAND!** I adore this place- whether we stay in the cabins, the oceanfront suites, or the hotel rooms, it's always a amazing time. The staff are wonderful, the property is well maintained, the amenities are amazing, the restaurants are next level delicious, and the Grotto spa is heavenly. My fav parts of our stays is making a fire in the pit down by the ocean and watching the kids play in the tidal zones as the water comes in and out of the bay."
