April Point is connected to the Painter's Lodge across the water, but AP is so much more unique. PL is a regular hotel, but take the ferry across the river to AP and you'll feel like you're in the wilderness! Rooms are right on the water and each room has a shared balcony in the front of the rooms. The...

My wife and I celebrated our anniversay with a weekend at April Point. We stayed many years ago and couldn't believe the changes. The accommodation is vastly improved since our last visit. The whole resort has been renovated in a casual west coast style. The food in the dining room was excellent but we found the service a little slow...

We rounded off a wonderful holiday on Vancouver Island at April Point. Although the environment was not as wild as some of the sights here, it was a good interim return to reality. The position of our room was great, with views across to Campbell River and the presence of playful sealions just below the balcony. The staff were all...

Dear Henry B,
Thanks for your review of the resort. I'm glad you enjoyed your room with the view of Painter's Lodge and Campbell River across the water. It's one of my favourites. Quadra Island is a beautiful place to hike, bike or kayak and I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to see some of the beautiful scenery. But...

Admittedly, I did things a little backward. I booked our stay at April Point and then scanned the reviews on Trip Advisor. In hindsight, this was fortunate since I may not have stayed at AP if I had read some of the negative reviews beforehand. Based on our experiences, much of the grumbling on TA is unwarranted and most of...

Dear careVancouver,
Thanks for your wonderful feedback. We're very proud of our property of Quadra Island and of the free water shuttle that connects April Point to our sister resort, Painter's Lodge. I'm glad you got to take advantage of both beautiful properties. Hope to see you again soon.

April Point Lodge has a wonderful location on Quadra Island - somewhat secluded with views across the strait to Campbell River and the mountains of Strathcona Park. I attended a watercolour painting workshop for the weekend and we had a lovely "studio" set up adjacent to the dining room with views of the ocean. For the first two days I...

Dear kmcclinchey,
Thanks for your feedback on April Point. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and we were able to upgrade you to a more comfortable room. We are a fairly remote location, so having the free water taxi over to Painter's Lodge offers our guests a variety of dining options. I appreciate your feedback on our restaurant as well....

We arrived about an hour early and were told our room was not ready. The staff would not even tell us where our room would be, or offer us a place to leave our luggage in the meantime. There is no parking at the resort, but quite a distance away. When we were lugging our stuff from there on foot...

Thank you for taking the time to write about your recent experience here at April Point Resort and Spa. I am sorry that you had heard our Restaurant did not warrant a visit. We are very proud of our foods and are also extremely value price point conscious. Our belief with this is an island and a Resort, but pricing...

I went there with my daughter and a friend for three days.
the room was nice but the restaurant was one one the worst I have ever been at, the so called risotto was like boiled porridge and the halibut was two meager portions on top of 4 asparagus tips with one sliced baby potato, keep in mind each one...

The location of April Point lodge is amazing.... however the accomodations are basic, nothing fancy at all. We enjoyed the deck right outside our cabin and saw quite a bit of wild life just sitting there. Unfortunately these cabins have absolutely no sound proofing. We didn't mind hearing people get up early in the morning to go fishing as we...

We're continually training our staff to provide a high level of customer...

This year we spent two nights and three days relaxing and fishing. It's wonderful to leave the car for the week-end and just 'hang out' in a totally stress free environment. I managed to catch a 23 pound Chinook (Spring) salmon on my birthday, wiht the wonderful guide we asked for that helped us both catch our limits of Sockeye...
