Came here from a recommendation of a colleague. The views were really nice and so was the unit we stayed in. All in all it was a nice little escape from the city. Katie the lovely front desk lady was super helpful throughout our stay as we asked a lot of questions but she answered them all and made us feel welcomed each time. Will definitely book again in the near future!

We stayed in a junior suite and it was nicely appointed. The suite was a great size for 2 people and the bed was great. It's a lovely resort close to the ocean but no ocean view. The shower did not work when we arrived, we called the front office and 2 of the staff came over to try and show us how to use it but to no avail. We were advised to shower in the pool shower as the maintenance man was already off duty. He came the next morning and it was simply a lack of understanding upon our part and the office staff as to how to operate the shower. Probably the our most serious complaint was the fact that the wifi did not work well. It would come off and on intermittently. We called the office to report it as well the mainteinence man came to our condo to try and assist us. He told us to turn our devices off and on etc. but it really never worked well for the entire week we were there. We were told maybe it was our devices. We travel a lot across the USA and Canada and have not encountered this issue in other places as both our IPad and I Phone are relatively new. When I suggested that maybe they needed to reboot our building but were told that would take at least 30 mins. and interrupt other guests. We would be interested in spending several months at this condo in the winter months in the future but unreliable wifi is really a "deal breaker" for us. …

A wonderful Resort. Highly recommend. The staff are amazing. Especially Tara and Mark. Well equipped with everything you need to make you feel at home. Beds and linens of high quality and there was in suite laundry which is such a bonus. Big soaker tub and separate shower. TVs in all rooms. We rented the side lock off unit too which was perfect with its own kitchenette and bathroom which my niece enjoyed thoroughly! Unit 114 has a beautiful private patio at ground level. The pool, pool shower rooms and hot tub were enjoyed and then we all sat around the outdoor fireplace. A beautiful west coast experience. Thanks to all. We will see you again forsure.

This was our second visit to Sunrise Ridge and we had another great eventful experience. I don't usually leave reviews but I felt the need to pass along some thoughts about our stay. First off, Sunrise Ridge and Parksville is the perfect hub to explore Vancouver Island in all directions. We spent 3 days exploring the local area around Parksville/Qualicum with so many great trails and epic ocean views. We also took 3 different day trips to Tofino, Hornby Island and Vancouver via the Hullo passenger ferry. So many great memories...I would also recommend unit 421A... completely updated and so comfortable! We will be back... again!

Amazing resort. Comfortable rooms, amazing pillows. Queen bed is a bit too small, lots of room to put a king bed. Hot tub was great and an outside fireplace in the evenings was the perfect way to end your day.staff were friendly and very helpful. Always with a smile. We will come again for sure

I had a 1 bedroom suite in the main building which had a nice large furnished kitchen and island. There was also a nice size balcony. There was dust (1 month later lol) on that same coffee table as in Tiffany’s review in July. There was also some old tea in the teapot when I arrived that housekeeping missed. The TV was not working but I fixed it by securing the connections. I also agree the A/C in the living room is loud and does not help with cooling the bedroom. Internet was very slow (strong signal though) which was not good enough for my business needs during the day (video conf calls were often interupted). I had to use my cell data instead. I couldn’t use the gym because the room was 35+ degrees without any A/C. I didnt try the pool or hot tub. For garbage disposal I was asked to bring it myself to the stinky bins outside and not leave it in the hallway like most extended stay hotels suggest. The pathway to the “beach” was actually a rough gravel driveway and the “beach” is only available at low tide.…

Hi scotty56434, We want to express our sincere appreciation for taking the time to provide us with feedback regarding your recent stay at Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort. We're thrilled to learn that you found your 1-bedroom suite in the main building, complete with a spacious kitchen and a range of in-room amenities, enjoyable. However, we deeply regret the issues you encountered during your stay. Your comments have been thoughtfully relayed to the appropriate teams to ensure that these concerns are promptly addressed, thus enhancing the experience for our future guests. For those considering a stay with us, it's important to note that Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort is a luxury condominium development designed to cater to longer-term stays. As you correctly mentioned, we do request our guests to responsibly dispose of their garbage in designated bins located within our resort, a practice that is consistent with many similar resorts across North America. Regarding beach access, it's important to highlight that it can vary significantly based on the season and tidal changes. Some days may offer a short descent to a sandy beach, while others may present a slightly longer step down to a rocky shoreline. We appreciate your understanding of these natural fluctuations. For those seeking alternative beach access points, Rathtrevor Provincial Park is conveniently within walking distance, offering a variety of beach experiences. Once again, we extend our gratitude for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, ensuring a more enjoyable and comfortable stay. Warm regards, Rachel Aylesworth Social Media & Marketing Coordinator

We spent 3 nights with 4 of our grandkids, aged 7-12. Absolutely perfect for those who are seeking a very modern, air conditioned, townhouse that comfortably accommodates 6, with full cooking facilities to help balance your budget, between dining in and eating out. The property also has a large outdoor pool and hot tub that was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids, allowing them to burn off the enormous energy that only little ones of their age possess. Lots of on site expansion construction going on which may be bothersome to some, but, by and large, wasn’t at all disruptive to our daily ‘routine’. No on-site restaurant, however the nearest ‘excellent’ one is at the Tigh Na Mara resort (where we have stayed many times in prior years) - only a 5 minute walk away. With 4 grandkids and 2 more ‘looming’, we’re already planning an extended stay at this property next year!…
