    ...I'm sure it wasn't in any way similar to it's current incarnation, however, "Snug" would still be the perfect incapusaltion of the atmosphere of this relaxing and charming part of the hotel...

    From the moment we pulled into the Oak Bay beach Hotel we felt welcomed and relaxed. The doorman greeted us with a friendly smile and showed us to the front desk... The check in process was quick and the young lady there was pleasant and forthcoming with the particulars of our stay... Our server was friendly and available and we indulged the night away... Returning to our room we found our bed turned down and ready to be jumped in, we settled in for the evening... In the morning the wife had a massage booked, she put on the soft robe provided in the room and wandered down to the spa... We left the hotel that morning feeling relaxed and calm having spent a wonderful evening indulging in quality service, with professional staff in magnificent grounds at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel...

    Very nice valet staff greet you as you arrive with your vehicle and efficient and friendly staff are at the front desk... While an early check in was received, it was because we came early in person... I had to order a duvet and an extra robe and slippers... The town of Oak Bay is a short drive away where you can pick up food, drink and other supplies...

    Wonderful stay here for a week in an ocean view boutique suite on the 3rd floor... Well appointed upscale hotel, friendly welcoming staff & the room has a little kitchenette w/ cookware, cutlery, dishes, as well as the usual Nespresso, microwave, kettle & bar fridge... We ordered room service for breakfast a few mornings & it cost a pretty penny as well… there’s an additional $5 fee + 18% gratuity... If you’re don’t have a vehicle… the hotel is ~15-18 min cab ride from downtown... The hotel does have a shuttle available to oak bay village & downtown...

    ...The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and help with any little thing you may need... The room was immaculate, very clean, smelled like a spa walking in and the attention to detail is really something... The pool and spa were the highlight of the trip for us, the heated mineral pool is so relaxing…and the sauna after was a great bonus... They came back twice during our morning swim... I had an incredible massage by Kim at the boathouse spa... She really listened to my needs and worked out some stress from my back... I can’t say enough about the staff..I’ve stayed at quite a few of the hotels in town and the staff here truly is unmatched... Everyone is happy, attentive and genuinely want you to have the best stay... In the morning we made it down to the snug pub and shared 3 different meals…all really tasty, our server Kelsey was lovely...

    We stayed at Oak Bay hotel for 3 days and absolutely enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, views and facilities at the hotel. In addition, the concierge Dillon Carfoot went out of his way to help and guide us... We followed all his tips with great pleasure, and experienced great food and trips... We highly recommend the hotel for both the stay and service!...

    From the moment we pulled into the Oak Bay beach Hotel we felt welcomed and relaxed. The doorman greeted us with a friendly smile and showed us to the front desk... From there we made way to our room, we stayed in a lower room with an ocean view and small patio... Walking in to the cool and dimly lit space felt amazing after such a hot day... The bed looked cozy and inviting and through the screen door our eyes were led from patio, to manicured gardens to a beautiful blue sea and sky rolling out in front of us... After an hour or so of sitting on our quiet patio and admiring the view we decided to cancel our dinner plans in town and opt for The Snug... It was a warm evening and we asked to sit outside, the balcony was in shade but the sea, islands and the magnificent Mount Baker were glowing with the setting sun... Our server was friendly and available and we indulged the night away... Returning to our room we found our bed turned down and ready to be jumped in, we settled in for the evening... The television didn't have an option for streaming services where we could sign in to our personal accounts, we had seen this at other hotels but there were plenty of other options and as indulgence was the theme of the evening we paid for a recently released movie... In the morning the wife had a massage booked, she put on the soft robe provided in the room and wandered down to the spa... We left the hotel that morning feeling relaxed and calm having spent a wonderful evening indulging in quality service, with professional staff in magnificent grounds at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel... Thanks to all involved in our stay at this true gem ...

    ...The rooms are beautiful and well supplied. Everything is considered; glassware, china, toiletries, coffee and tea; even creamers in the fridge, which I love... This is a place to treat ourselves and relax in the midst of our chaotic travels... Faro restaurant is very busy, especially in summer, so we couldn't get a reservation, but we ordered and took food to our room, which, with the balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean, was even better than eating in the restaurant... It's reassuring that Snug Pub is always available, as their menu offers a nice variety... The cost seems high, but not when compared with prices across the city/ island and considering what you get... Book on the website for free parking!...

    ...The Oak Bay Beach Hotel is absolutely stunning... It has been immaculately updated in a beautiful and elegant way, which makes it a very unique and truly beautiful property... I especially want to thank Sheila and Hoa from the Front Desk, Nolan from the Snug Pub, and Heather from the Concierge... These staff members made our birthday getaway very memorable and they genuinely cared... The room was gorgeous and the sheets were very soft... Extremely comfortable bed and pillows... The pool area was the highlight of our time there, the nicest hotel pool area I have experienced (including high-rated properties in Maui)... I definitely recommend this property without hesitation...

    Stayed here for 4 nights with my partner and 21 year old son. This is a quality hotel for adults and I would suggest not for minors under 16 as the pool and informal dining in the snug are for older people 16+... The shower gel was empty in my room on arrival and was never topped up was my only criticism but I had my own so was not a big issue... Call outs for John who kindly drove us to and from our restaurant in Oak Bay Village and the ever cheerful and friendly receptionist Sheila...

The room was comfortable and the beds were amazing!... We appreciated the mini-fridge and Nespresso machine and the bath products were lovely (including bath salts to enjoy in the soaker tub) We had a great meal at The Snug with a view over the water and enjoyed the mineral pools at night...

    What a great place to go to as a couples getaway. We felt welcomed and cared for by staff the whole time we were there... Our room was very nice and the bed was comfortable, we could watch a large tv from a deep tub if we wanted to, it had a large shower, the kitchen was a great addition but lacked a frying pan and was a little small... The mineral pools were the best went there 4x’s a day the spa treatments were relaxing and a great experience...

    ...My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel last week. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional, especially Dillon Carfoot, Chef Concierge... Our 2nd floor room was comfortable, cozy and quiet... The hotel was doing a refresh of the Snug Pub so it was temporarily relocated to the main lobby area during our stay... We did have the opportunity to have breakfast by the window one morning which was lovely... An easy walk to downtown Oak Bay, we enjoyed visiting the local shops and services in town, as well as the prime location allows for both residential or beach walks from right out the front door of the hotel... Guests have unlimited use of the mineral pools and we took full advantage of that... We also enjoyed a couples massage at the Boathouse Spa one day (fantastic deep tissue by Mary & Heather)... It does get noticeably busier on the weekends with groups of guests using the spa...

    ...From the Ambassador’s greeting at your car, to the front desk, to the exceptional service in The Dining Room, The Snug, Faro’s, and the mineral pools, the consistency of top level service at this hotel is unparalleled. Every member of the staff greeted you with such sincere warmth that you cannot help but feel appreciated and welcome... And that, on top of some of the best food one could possibly enjoy in one location - albeit three restaurants... We had expectations when we chose Oak Bay Beach Hotel - clearly they have a goal of exceeding expectations at every turn...

The bed was a king-size and extremely comfortable... Nespresso machine fully stocked... You have full access to the mineral pools (Main pool and two hot tubs)... Food and bar service is available at the pool (Can not bring drinks while in the pool)... The restaurants are Fargo and the Snug pub, both great... Room service was pretty great and fast to the door... They have a Telsa charger and a regular electric car charging station available for free...

    Yup, it's worth every penny to stay here. Extraordinary building and complex with surreal views of the Salish Sea and environs... Watch for Orcas and whales while at the mineral pools or turn around and admire the bald eagles perched on top of the hotel, this place never disappoints and inside it gets even better... The rooms are truly amazing with the attention to detail... The Snug Harbor Pub with Derek behind the bar and the delicious food is a great experience... The entire staff couldn't have been more friendly or do more for you...

    The Oak Bay Beach Hotel never disappoints. From check in to check out its perfection at its finest... Love the bath tub that opens up to our room, cozy fireplace, the bed and pillow are like sleeping on a cloud... Had a couples spa, and it was beyond fantastic... We had dinner and breakfast in the Snug, I highly recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes ( Delish )... The pool was fabulous, and an extra perk was pool side service in Oct for drinks delivered to your deck chair... Can hardly wait for our next weekend away at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel...

The hotel has a casual yet stately vibe, with a beautiful lounge area off of reception... The sofa bed had sheets and one blanket in the closet... I had to order a duvet and an extra robe and slippers... The pool area is also very nice and well maintained... The rooms are a bit dated in terms of furnishings and with old electric fireplaces but have nice touches like a great Nespresso machine, water, a huge bathroom, extremely comfortable bed and linens... The town of Oak Bay is a short drive away where you can pick up food, drink and other supplies... The view of the ocean is lovely and it was nice to have a balcony...

County Down, United Kingdom44 contributions
We had booked a standard room which did not have a sea view. The room was large as was the bathroom which had both a shower and bath. The bed was very comfortable indeed. In fact there was nothing that hadn't been thought of, there was even a small torch if you happened to need one!! The big plus was the kitchenette area. It was just lovely to be able to make your own breakfast and sit quietly and enjoy it in your room. We had stopped at the upmarket Whole Foods supermarket on the way down from the ferry terminal at Swartz Bay and bought a few nice things for breakfast! We spent four nights at this hotel at the end of June. We were really lucky with the weather and got admire the lovely view from the poolside. Our only negative comment would be how busy or congested the pool area was on the Saturday in particular. There seemed to be an influx of day bookings from non residents and the area is just not big enough to cope with that number of people. I think when you pay to stay in a hotel of this calibre you don't expect to be squeezed in like sardines around the pool area or have to wait around until a lounger becomes available. The pool area is lovely and the pool itself very warm! We did decide to stay at this hotel because they had a lovely pool area. In fact the location in Oak Bay is gorgeous. We visited Butchart Gardens which was stunning and well worth the visit. If you intend to eat there take your own eats/snacks it is expensive and there is a very poor choice of cakes and snacks or even light lunch options. We were very surprised by this as it is a busy attraction. The standard of restaurant in the Victoria area we did find a bit disappointing. There was no stand out restaurant in our opinion. I think my only regret is that we didn't go on a bear watching trip. Friends who recently returned from Canada did this on Vancouver Island and l think it was the highlight of their trip. Victoria is a nice city but just that, one day or afternoon is enough to see all there is to see in our opinion. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!! However if you choose to stay at Oak Bay Beach Resort you will not be disappointed. We did love it despite my small criticism!

Hotel's Favourite
My husband and I have been visiting the Oak Bay Resort for many years, even when it was the older hotel! It is our haven and happy place.We come yearly, and perhaps twice a year when we can. The staff are very welcoming, and highly professional. The hotel itself is gorgeous, and placed in one of the most magnificent Ocean settings. Delicious food is served in the Snug Pub, as well as Faro’s ,who have recently added some wonderful new items to their pizza menu.And the mineral bath and spa overlooking the ocean is a great asset and one of our favourite spots. The hotel rooms are very spacious with big soaker tubs, and dreamy pillows and bedding. There are wonderful walks from the hotel . Within about 30 minutes you can be strolling along Willows Beach, or shopping in the delightful Oak Bay or Estevan Villages. What a great treat to go here!

The Oak Bay Beach Hotel is an amazing place to spoil yourselves! This was our third visit and we hope for many more… The rooms are just wonderful with everything you need for either a short or long stay - they feel like your own little home away from home. There are three choices for great food and drink without leaving the hotel. the Snug is great for drinks at the bar or a meal looking over the water. Faro has wonderful Italian food with the Pizza as the star although we loved the beef rib on polenta as well. The weekend Dining Room experience was a special treat - we splurged and added the wine pairings. No matter where we ate the staff were always friendly and knowledgeable. And I haven’t even mentioned the spa pools yet which might be my favourite part of staying at the hotel - who doesn’t like a lovely soak in a quiet oasis setting staring across the ocean?! Clearly my husband and I love this place - for us it is a luxurious splurge well worth repeating which we hope to do again next year.

Comfiest beds and the pool and two hot tubs were awesome. Sauna was also good and the nicest shampoo and conditioner (Babor) that leaves your hair super soft. Large parking spaces below the hotel. The only downside was food choices were limited for what we liked to eat so had to order in and go out for meals.

Truly amazing property. Friendly check-in by Eve and Sydney, a beautifully appointed room, great amenities, outside swimming in November in Canada (really) and awesome meals at the Snug (Cheryl-Ann was super friendly and engaging) and Faro (Gene was lovely). An absolutely perfect, romantic weekend away for me and my wife. We couldn't have asked for more. Bravo!

If only I hadn’t tried to make the stay exceptional, it might have been. My partner and I have birthdays just 3 days apart and book a getaway each year. This year was an ocean front suite with spa treatments at Oak Bay. The OB and it’s mineral pools had been on my list for years, so I was delighted to finally be visiting. On arrival day, the hotel sends a text offering to contact them to make the stay exceptional. Inspired, I ask if a bottle of champagne in the room is possible with just an hour to go before arrival. The hotel enthusiastically responds in the affirmative, suggesting a $150 bottle of Veuve Clicquot. I agree. They say it will arrive within 15 minutes. On check-in, the front desk apologizes that the bottle is being prepared but we will likely make it to the room before it. She asks if I’d prefer it arrive a bit later after we settle and I decline. I understand it was last minute but sooner rather than later. The full moon rose over Mt. Baker & was breathtaking… but was missing something now without the expected champagne. It was now three-quarters of an hour past the expected delivery. We were dawdling as we waited for the champagne rather than enjoying the pools. Finally, I texted to cancel as it was detracting from our experience. Shortly thereafter, the bottle arrives. The hotel texts that they will send someone to pick it up but with all that is lovely around is, we just want to forget the disappointment and make the most of our stay. I let it go, but in checkout, was shocked to see the champagne was charged at $200, not $150. Perhaps I should have gotten angry and made demands, but again, that’s not a way I wish to spend my valuable relaxation time. Instead, I will not return to the Oak Bay. And suggest others not expect too much and they will likely be rewarded with it.

Wonderful stay at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, from the moment we drove up to the friendly valet, to checking out. The friendliest staff throughout the hotel makes such a difference and the room was gorgeous. The bathroom was spa-like, huge shower and soaking tub with a bunch of top quality spa products to use. The bubbly brought to our room after we settled in was appreciated and enjoyed! We put robes on and walked down to the pool and the views were stunning over looking the water. On a chilly day you have the hot tubs and firepits. Friendly pool staff too! Had a lovely dinner in The Snug with water views once again. We had a clear night and star gazed from our 2 balconies, quite an experience. Besides the best location and character building, the staff really made our stay extra special. Thank you!
