Hotel berhampiran Olive This & More, Qualicum Beach

Parents of neurodivergent children BEWARE!! We were visiting family for the day and spent most of our time at the pool. The lifeguard on duty was horrific, she abused her power and was often yelling unnecessarily at the kids trying to have fun. After yelling at my autistic son for going down the slide with his little sister, my sister ( who was watching him at the moment) approached the lifeguard and explained that my son was neurodivergent and would not respond well to her yelling at him, so if he did something that needed to be corrected could she please let my sister or myself know so we can talk to my son ourselves which would greatly reduce the risk of a meltdown. The lifeguard looked her in the face and said “ I will NOT do that, kids need to listen to ME and learn to listen to other people besides their parents.” After trying to explain again why this wouldn’t work for my son, the lifeguard became even more aggressive in the way she was speaking to my sister. It was shocking. Shortly after a young boy with Down syndrome was eating his ice cream by the pool, the lifeguard marched over there and yelled at the boy, “you can’t have that here!!” Grabbed the ice cream out of his hand and took it to his mother who was sitting by the fence. Everyone sitting there was horrified. It was really sad to watch the little guy so confused and upset while he was on vacation just trying to have fun. If your job is to monitor kids, it is crucial that you are sensitive to the neurodiversity of children and are properly trained to handle their uniqueness in a respectful manner. When you are approached by a caregiver who explains the needed way to deal with a neurodivergent child and decide that you are more equipped to handle that child using force and aggression, YOU are in the wrong job. That life guard is very lucky that it was my sister she was dealing with and not me. I will not recommend this resort to anyone. I am extremely disappointed and shocked.

it is clean, but the service is fair

I really enjoyed my time at The Tide’s Inn Parksville. Quiet, very comfortable mattress and pillows. The staff were beyond reproach! Excellent service. Perfect for my pet. We enjoyed the fire pits and close proximity to the beach and services. Well done!

This was my first time ever staying here and I was very impressed. I will definitely be coming back to the Bayside Resort in the future. The staff from the moment I walked in the door were amazing. They were super polite and very helpful and very informative for all my questions and needs. The room was very clean and beds were very comfortable. I came there for a relaxing weekend and got just that. The restaurant and lounge staff were so nice and on the ball. It was very busy there but they never skipped a beat and always made me feel like I was the only one in the room. I was super impressed with this. It was disappointing that there was no hot tub as it was dealing with repairs at the time, hey these things happen, but the pool was great and the workout room/gym was very impressive as well. Location of this resort is amazing, honestly can’t get much better. Spectacular views on beachfront to one the most popular beaches in this region. What a beautiful spot!! I feel like I can go on and on, all and all I had a great experience at the Bayside Resort and I will definitely be back soon!!

性價比非常高的酒店，酒店應該重新裝修的時間不長，房間整潔乾淨，床很舒服，温度適宜，一樓的會客廳有免費的咖啡茶水能飲料，24小時開放。酒店對面就是一家很大的麥當勞，一家不錯的中餐自助就在酒店邊上，走路也就50米，附近還有超市等商業，總之很方便。非常滿意

The Sea Edge is right on the beach, steps away from everything you need, and the view is UNREAL. You can’t get a better location for the price. The staff was accommodating, Eileen was amazing. This will be our go-to Parksville motel going forward.

景色宜人！那片沙灘說是有象拔蚌，去挖了幾次都沒有收穫…可能是我們水平不行。樓下餐廳有小棚子，晚餐可以預定。

Our group of nine, four adults and five teenagers spent seven days at this resort. We had two separate units and we had the units with three bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is actually its own studio suite which was kind of nice because it does have its own fridge and a little AC unit and it’s own separate bathroom so it was really, great actually We were in the 200 building facing the pool. If you’re not a lover of family resorts or kids this may not be the place for you or at least don’t face the pool lol. There are a number of different types of accommodations here and there are also some townhouses which I think are two bedroom suites which looked very nice. There’s also some villas, but they book up a year in advance And they overlook the ocean which is beautiful. We were on the third floor of the 200 building and we could see a little bit of the ocean from our balcony. The nice thing about our room was that it did face the pool, but it was really quite private because there was trees in front and when you’re sitting on the patio , you had a lot of privacy. The balcony had an overhang as well, which was nice. There’s also a gas barbeque on the balcony which we used a few times The AC units are the ones that vent outside and they’re decent enough. (Not central air like the townhomes had). The pool is open until 11 o’clock every night. The teenagers had complaints about the hot tub that it wasn’t hot enough, but overall the pool was fine. My couple complaints are just observations about the places that you may not want to have somebody above you if you’re in the Buildings where the condo/Apartment style units are. As I said we were on the third floor and this building is four floors and you could hear a lot of the people above you stomping around. Not a dealbreaker I mean we were fine with it, but they had little kids and they were ripping around quite a bit so it was kind of annoying when they would start at 6 AM. anyway it wasn’t that bad Just an observation. The property, at least in the apartment style condo units don’t get cleaned for the time that you’re here so you have to constantly ask for things when you run out such as toilet paper, sugar, those kinds of things. Parking could be a struggle from time to time because the place fills up a lot every night, especially on the weekends, but it was never a huge deal for our group. Overall experience here though was very good and we would return.

This centrally located Hotel was exactly what we needed! The front desk team was so accommodating. Special props to Desiree who went out of her way to ensure we had an enjoyable experience! Unfortunately we the restaurant was closed on the Wednesday we arrived. Port Alberni has some really nice restaurants. The people are relaxed and friendly. The sauna and whirlpool were a great way to relax. We were very happy with the Barclay Best Western!
