Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, comfortable, and well supplied, many with a French balcony and a view of the Bay and nearby marina. However, the room wasn't made up until late afternoon, impacting our relaxation time in the lounge. The service was exceptional with kind and helpful staff. The location was stunning, offering beautiful views, and the dining options were delightful, especially with food and drinks available all day. The facilities were top-notch, making our stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel was beautifully quiet and very comfortable, with wonderful mineral pools accessible from the patio. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even involving our grandson in decorating. The location at Oak Bay is romantic and excellent, though some areas need upgrading. The dining experience was delicious with a beautiful view, but there were delays in room delivery. Overall, a lovely stay with minor issues.

The hotel room was fabulous and spacious with a beautiful bathroom and a very comfy bed. However, it wasn't made up until late in the afternoon, which was a bit inconvenient. The service was amazing with prompt and efficient responses to requests. The location was breathtaking, especially overlooking the Pacific, but it tended to get crowded during our stay. The dining experience was a big letdown with a runny omelet, but the facilities were also amazing. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights and areas needing improvement.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel; the location was superb, nestled in one of the best neighborhoods on Vancouver Island. The rooms were beautifully furnished and spacious, with a kitchenette, although the price was a bit high. The service was exceptional, especially the young lady at the reception desk. The dining experience was splendid, with delicious meals and a breathtaking view of the Bay.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the cozy and warm rooms with exceptional sea views, perfect for a family holiday. The cleanliness and thoughtful amenities, including a luxurious marble bathroom and the best shower, added to the overall positive experience. However, the staff seemed unprepared for a power outage, and there were issues with restocking essentials like toilet paper and tissues.
