Crystal Cove has stolen our families hearts. We loved all the extra details, thoughts and offerings put into each cabin. The staff was incredibly friendly and super helpful. My husband LOVED making a fire, the kiddos were obsessed with the hot tub, and the dog frolicked on the beach. My only regret is not staying for longer. Thank you Crystal Cove for such a wonderful Christmas, we are already planning our next trip.

Wonderful service, lovely accomodations and you cannot beat the location! Soaking in a hot tub watching the waves crashing onto the beach - there is no better way to unwind and wash the stress away. This has become our favourite place on the island, and we will be making this a yearly visit :)

Perhaps dishwashers in units would mitigate the problem of less than clean dishes. Might not be practical though. I feel the cabins really suit the area and we’re being built over 40 yrs ago when we started our marriage in Tofino.

The Crystal Cove Beach Resort is private, quaint, and peaceful in late November. We enjoyed the private access to McKenzie Beach and witnessing the moonset and sunrise every morning that was clear. Very peaceful and serene setting with very friendly and welcoming staff. We enjoyed the soak tub and sauna that was included in our 2-story spa cabin. Will definitely be back.

Great stay. Just the hot tub should be completely replaced and subsequently maintained. The views and location are stunning. What a great way to spend our anniversary. We purchased a 22 inch fire hammock from Amazon and highly recommend it.

Great location. Patios could use more cover. Some fireplaces have airflow issues and can cause cabins to fill with smoke. Staff knew of issue but said nothing to us. It's a nice place overall though..

Response from JJ Belanger, General Manager at Crystal Cove Beach Resort
Responded Nov 24, 2023
Dear jwenberg18 I'm glad you thought we're a nice place to stay. We have clear instruction in our guest directories in each cabin on how to build and start a fire in the fireplaces. There can be times during a storm where negative pressure can cause smoke to come back in the cabin if the fire is too big. This occurs very rarely. We suggest using our firelogs during those times to avoid any smoke issues, they are available in the office. If you need extra cover on your deck, just ask and we could have brought you a pop up tent cover for your stay. Thanks. J.J. Belanger General Manager

We enjoyed a cabin view built for the gods. The heated tile floors & very fast Wifi were most appreciated. Rarely do you find a big fireplace that you can fire up with one match every time and have a never ending supply of dry wood..brilliant. We are long time fans.

We have been coming for over 7 years with our dog and love this place. The cabins are well equipped, clean with everything you need including firewood, bbq etc. Very quiet and relaxing. Clean cabins and the staff are very friendly and accomodating. Can't wait to go back next year!
