8,8 Excellent
Pros: Hosts very friendly, Excellent breakfast! Very comfortable room, outdoor space nice. Quiet location
8,3 Excellent
Pros: The hosts were lovely and told you things to see and do and places to eat in the area. We had been in the area but quite a few years ago and things change. Lovely gardens and driftwood village and gnomes. Quite magical, particularly lit up at night! Breakfasts are wonderful and can keep you going until an early supper. Bed was very comfortable.
Cons: There are 2 rooms which share a bathroom at the top of a small landing so you are in close quarters if there is a snorer in the other room. The fan provided - there is no AC which really isn't necessary as at night it cools down - is effective but noisy. We certainly knew that it was a shared bathroom and it wasn't an issue when we were younger but is tougher when older.

Pros: Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Pictures were lovely and unit was clean. A few plastic forks and knives would have been nice to have while eating take in food. Outside was lovely with the flower baskets.
Cons: Toilet seat was needing to be replaced or fixed. First time sitting it moved and kept moving the whole time and we are are big woman. I weigh 120 and my daughter 135. When I booked I was told it was the last unit but clearly it was not as there were several units that were empty so felt like I should not look farther to loose out. Price was expensive for one night and being at the beginning of the strip, but other wise no complaints.

9,2 Excellent
Pros: Bonus kitchenette upgrade when we needed a second bed. Though on a busy highway the room was quiet and we had a fabulous sleep. Owners very pleasant !
Cons: Had difficult turning on the TV, turns out one of the snarl of plugs wasn't in. Bedroom had NO outlets, should put in one of the lamps from the main room which has an inbuilt plug (for a CPAP machine). Had to call the office to find out that the power to the lamps was controlled by a switch by the door... But still would still highly recommend it!
10,0 Excellent
Pros: The room is really big, with 2 comfortable beds. Location is great, easy access by car and bus. Even though the motel is right on the road, the windows really block the noise from outside and you can’t hear anything! Wifi works well and also there’s a fridge and a microwave in case you need it! Great breakfast place right across the road.
Cons: The fan in the bathroom could be a little better, it does feel quite humid in the room after shower... but nothing that open windows can’t fix.

Pros: The manicured yard is a great compliment to the unbeatable view! The owners put a lot of thought into making the outdoors comfortable: tables and chairs, covered patios, loungers snd barbecue, private exit to the beach. The room has everything you need: fully stocked kitchen, very clean!
Cons: I booked a 2 bedroom, and appreciated beds in separate rooms, but our suite was not a true 2-bed: one bed is located in the open space in the living- kitchen area.
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Fantastic location. Right on the beach, but a little removed from the busy popular area. The beach infront of us was nice and quiet. Restaurants nearby. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. The room was spacious and had what we needed to make our meals, including a good-sized fridge. The patio had lounge chairs and beach umbrellas, as well as tables where you could eat. I'd love to stay there again.
9,2 Excellent
Pros: I loved the spectacular view from our balcony and the closeness to the beach. It had a cute little garden area. It had a little area where you could go into the beach almost felt like your own private beach. It was close via car to the village about a 5 min. drive. It was clean and cute!
Cons: I didn't like that there were people below us out in the balcony smoking one evening and we couldn't eat out on our balcony because the smoke came up into our room we couldn't even open our balcony door. I also did like that when we were greeted we weren't given much information regarding places to eat or restaurants nearby. It has a few restaurants close by but not a lot of choice.

Pros: This incredible little place is a hidden gem on the Qualicum Beach oceanside road! We loved our stay - the Malaspina Suite 106 was spacious and comfy with all the amenities we could have asked for, coffee and tea included. Beds were so pretty and comfy. Cool air through the screens thru the night and hot sun in the morning. The outdoor common areas are abundant, well kept, and so peaceful for an evening BBQ and morning coffee. The views and walkout ocean access were such a special treat. Wish we could have stayed longer, but hope to return soon. You are sure to love this incredible retreat!

6,7 Good
Pros: Our room was lovely, nice location right on the beach.
Cons: The hotel advertised an outdoor pool which was the primary reason we booked. The pool in inside with a slatted open roof, this does not make it an outside pool. There was no where to relax and sunbathe. They should call it an inside pool. We felt ripped off.
9,6 Excellent
Pros: The location and view from our balcony were beautiful. Close to everything we wanted to do and the pool was great.
Cons: Didn't like the expresso machine in the room as we don't like expresso. We just wanted a basic cup of coffee and tea in the morning. Would have prefered one of those little coffee makers. And the hot tub jets were not very powerful. More like a tap running than a jet tub. But it was great other than that.
8,3 Excellent
Pros: the location was excellent and the view was excellent as well right on the beach with beach access. the breakfast choice and quality was average but adequate as was the dinner menu

Cons: Recently upgraded the facilities but the staff need training. Very friendly and helpful though.
9,2 Excellent
Pros: Very new and bright and clean. Lovely ocean view. The outdoor patio and grounds were very nice. The gardener talked with us and was very knowledgeable and really cared about the gardens esp the beautiful roses in the front garden...quite lovely! Easy to walk down to the beach..on stairs ...the beach stretches for miles which is quite stunning to see. Beautifully decorated room ..all new furniture and beds. Friendly staff overall. Nice pool and hot tub in glass enclosure. Restaurant and patio serves very good food at reasonable prices looking over the ocean. We have already booked another stay in August..but be sure to request a ocean front room or at least refuse to take the small selection of rooms that over look a large ugly expanse of roof..with noisey air vents and tarmac and air conditioners !!
Cons: Front desk welcome initially ackward. The Receptionist was more occupied with talking to a colleague and working on her computer than welcoming us ...she didnt even look up and say anything for a uncomfortable few minutes. Not being acknowledged is very poor. Eventually the colleague jumped up to serve us and welcome us. He was very pleasant and professional. I think he was not expecting to be dealing with guests but he sensed the uncomfortable position for us. Stop with the computer and tend to your customers!! Also very poor that the pool is not open past 7 pm..this is a resort! Some rooms overlook a roof with noisey air conditions....why not make a roof top garden and at the very least don't advertise these rooms as garden view!! We had to pay an upgrade to get out of this room that we were first booked into by making the reservation with booking.com

Cons: Eight stairs to haul luggage up to room as some rooms aren’t serviced by elevator ... no microwave in the room and a futuristic thimble Nespolo coffee maker where a more practical conventional coffee maker would be valued more ... new modern barrel style patio chairs are not conducive to comfortable patio lounging ... no in room safe ... swimming pool and hot tub areas are dated and in need of renovation ... designated smoking area located on an island in the middle of the parking lot with no seating or overhead awning is NOT guest friendly
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Rooms were spacious and clean. Appeared recently renovated.
Cons: Was disappointed with the location of our room. Third floor overlooking a very messy roof and facing an apartment under construction. No view as such. Was woken 11.30pm by somebody doing work on the roof - Contacted reception @ 12.30am who did not seem to know what was going on.
