Powered by AI
The Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort is celebrated for its exceptional location, offering stunning views and convenient beach access that guests frequently applaud. Cleanliness is another strong point, with the well-kept rooms and facilities earning positive remarks. However, some guests feel the rooms could benefit from updates and repairs.
Opinions on the resort's value are mixed; while its facilities and setting are sometimes seen as fair for the price, criticisms arise regarding the food quality and room rates. Service experiences vary, with commendations for staff friendliness contrasting reports of lackluster attention. The golf and beach amenities are popular, though suggestions indicate a desire for more contemporary features.

Detailed Reviews
My family was biking across PEI on the Confederation Trail and needed a place to stay on the east side, the hotel was a few kms off the trail network but proved to be worth the extra peddle! They stored our bikes inside overnight, we didn't golf, but we used their shuttle service to visit the beach, sit by the tended campfire and watch the sunset. We booked early at a spring promotion rate and stayed mid July for a very fair price, especially considering the facilities, location, service and view!!! We would definitely stay again.

This was our first trip to PEI as a family and decided to stay at this resort for 3 nights. We booked the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cottage and could not be happier with the cleanliness, location, full kitchen, comfortable beds and cute decor. Everyone at the resort was very friendly, quick to respond, and made sure our stay was perfect. We played tennis, used the pool, hot tub and fitness facilities and no issues. My husband and son enjoyed time on the golf course which was very busy so booking ahead would be recommended. Shuttles to the beach were offered but we enjoyed the daily walks. The beach was incredible! It often felt like a private area, very secluded, clean and a very nice bonus to have the nightly bonfires. Having the kitchen we made breakfast but often had lunch and dinner at the restaurant which was always quick and excellent. The staff were all wonderful and made sure we were well taken care of. Will definitely book at this resort in the future!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Spent a wonderful weekend in the cottages with a group of 8 couples. Cottages are designed for sharing with two couples easily providing privacy and separate washrooms for each bedroom. Cottages were clean, spacious and contained everything that was needed. Resort was quiet and staff were available and willing to help with any Assistance needed. We enjoyed the large backyard areas for socializing with our group. Lovely beach for soaking up the rays and great for those who love a nice beach walk. Shuttle service to and from the beach was quick and efficient. We enjoyed a beautiful supper at David’s restaurant, meals were delicious and staff very accommodating. Only suggestion would be additional lawn furniture such as picnic tables for outdoor eating.

In general, for what I paid (about $350 CAD per night not including golf), the rooms were unmaintained dumps with horrible décor from the 70s. Wood finishes were worn out, the bath tub had a huge crack in the side of it, the shower control lever felt like it was about to fall off and it was hard to adjust the temperature. A suite should always have a small microwave (a $100 expense to the property!) and this did not. Lord only knows how old the carpet was and what grows in it, but it looked more than 20 years old. The toilet shook and rattled every time I sat on it and would barely flush a turd. The outside of the building had sheets of paint falling off. Rodd obviously is glad to take your money but provide no value for it. Too bad that our group of a dozen enjoyed the golf, but we all agreed we'd never stay at a Rodd resort ever again. I frequently stay at the Quality Inn in Summerside and for $130, they offer far better rooms that are modernized and maintained, just to put your $350 room charge in perspective in a similar location. The food was ok but we were really tired of the menu after 5 days.... change it up a bit or even have a cheeseburger or club sandwich as an alternative fare. Rodd should be ashamed of how badly the rooms and building furnishings are maintained and not modernized.

My recent stay was a mixed experience, leaning heavily towards disappointment. The hotel itself is in dire need of a refresh as it's quite dated. Unfortunately, this lack of modernity extends to several critical aspects of the stay. Firstly, the air conditioning in my room was faulty. It barely worked and was extra noisy, making the room uncomfortably warm during the day and night. Additionally, the toilet had constant issues, causing unnecessary inconvenience. The staff's attitude was another letdown. Apart from the diligent maintenance and cleaning staff, who were the saving grace of the service team, the rest of the staff appeared generally uninterested and unhelpful. This lack of attentiveness is not what one expects from a reputable establishment. The restaurant experience was equally disappointing. The staff seemed untrained and unfriendly, which made dining an unpleasant experience. The food itself was mediocre at best, yet inexplicably overpriced. It's clear that the restaurant needs a complete overhaul in both service and culinary quality. However, it wasn't all bad. The golf facilities were absolutely fantastic. The course was well-maintained, challenging, and provided an excellent experience. In fact, the only reason we'll be returning is for the golf. Unfortunately, we will be avoiding staying at the property until significant upgrades are made. Major renovations and improvements in staff training and service are urgently needed. Until these upgrades are made, I cannot recommend staying here.

I recently booked a stay directly through the Rodd Vacations' website and found myself faced with a couple of key issues. Firstly, the online reservation process was not as transparent as one would hope. The final price displayed during the booking process and in the subsequent confirmation email did not include taxes. This wasn't made clear until the end of my stay when the tax charges were added to my bill. This kind of transparency is standard on most hotel booking platforms and should be implemented on Rodd Vacations' website for a clearer understanding of the final cost.
My second concern pertained to cleanliness. Unfortunately, mold was found in the fridge in our room. Although the staff quickly attended to it and had it cleaned, there was no apology offered for this oversight. The staff's lack of concern for this was disheartening and detracted from our overall experience.
The hotel has the potential to provide a great stay, but there are necessary improvements in terms of pricing transparency and maintaining high standards of cleanliness. My recent experience was less than satisfactory, and I believe attention to these areas could greatly enhance the guest experience.

We stayed at Crowbush for 6 nights with our 2 small children. We are disappointed with the stay.
Staff couldn’t be bothered to look up and greet you, or help with luggage. The elevator had a giant dust bunny that after 3 days (!!!) of noticing it, I finally had to tell the front desk staff. The pool is fine but has a door on the deck falling apart (frame is corroded and has a giant hole, huge eyesore and safety hazard)
No fitness classes or activities for kids/families offered besides a fire on the beach.
The mosquitoes are atrocious, swarming the vehicle upon arrival. They should spray the property to allow guests to enjoy the grounds.
No cappuccinos or lattes available from the restaurant as the machine is “not in the budget”
The rooms are very dated, carpet is old and stained.
Crowbush is overrated, and expensive for the service and experience we received.

Hi Becca, we are sorry to hear about your experience with us. This is not our usual standard so we have sent your comments to our management team. We work hard to keep our resort clean and provide an exceptional experience and we clearly missed the mark. Please reach out to us at crowbush@roddvacations as we would like a chance to make this right.

Our king suite did not match the description of that particular room on their website. They mention accessible features. Alas ours had none. The bathtub as a 1980s jetted tub, close to 4 ft high with a shower head. We were offered an accessible room, not a suite and we declined it. One person could not manage entry into the shower and had to use the spa/pool shower with nary a hook on walls for towels or gowns. The dining room was only open from Thursday to Sunday, but on our day of arrival, a Saturday, the chef hadn't shown up. The furniture is date and uncomfortable to say the least. There was no daily cleaning of the suite and we had to purchase materials for bathroom and kitchenette. They said this due to Covid protocols, but seemed more likely due to a shortage of staff.
The 3 golf courses in the package were very good and a great experience.

Our impression of this place is it is not so good anymore. It's old and tired, in dire need of paint, carpets, quieter toilets on other floors, screen doors that work and fixtures that aren't rusty. Having a quiet fridge would also help. One tip, make sure you request not to be put in a wheelchair access room.

Unless you want fried, overpriced, and a tired bar food menu - do not eat at the restaurant. Unfortunately, due to location there are no close alternatives, so if you want a satisfying dining experience, stay somewhere else. Room service phone line was not picked up - staff were disorganised. The plethora of wetlands on the golf course generate millions of mosquitoes, so you cannot enjoy the outdoors. Merely walking around kicks them up. Your room will be indundated. The front desk staff are golden.

The bbqs were on the ground level. Our one room cottage was the upper level. We would have had to go downstairs with everything if we wanted to bbq.
Hi - you probably don't know this, but the questions you ask via this method go to the people who reviewed the property.
Anyway, with regards to distance, Google Map is a good source of information. Between the resort and the airport, distance is about 30 km; between downtown Charlottetown and the resort, it's about 38 km.
[To use Google Maps, go to DIRECTIONS then plug in the from and to locations, it will give you the driving route, distance and anticipated travel time]
I can't help with the taxi rates since I didn't use a cab. The best thing to do is to contact the hotel directly with your question. There's a contact box on the right hand side of the Tripadvisor webpage and should have a link to the hotel's web site etc. Good luck and enjoy your trip!
Yes we do have onsite laundry at the resort. This summer it is $2/wash and $2/dry
Yes, its a lovely place and just a short walk to beach.Check out there web site. We are a couple and stayed in hotel part but you can rent stand alone houses.
