The whole trip was a great experience!

The whole trip was a great experience! Hotel room was clean, bed very comfortable and awesome view of the ocean. We had pool access and the kids also enjoyed the 2 mini golf courses next door and beachfront access. Watched the Canucks over an excellent meal in the pub with the glow of the sunset and some fireworks over the bay. Very reasonable prices and friendly staff. Don't miss this one.

The view from this property is undoubtedly wonderful. But sadly for our wedding in June that was about all we had. To say the least if youd be ok with very poor communication and then gaslighting when expressing your concerns this would be your venue to pick.

Best experience ever! We make sure to visit the Bayside twice a year as it is such an amazing atmosphere with great food, great staff, and clean rooms. The outdoor pool was perfect temperature and very clean. Located right on the beach with amazing views and walking distance to everything. Our favourite hotel on the island! We will be back as soon as possible. Would 10/10 recommend, you won’t regret it!!

We've been coming here off and on for years and this year decided to make Bayside the focus of our 50th anniversary stay.
Boy, we're we right on the money.
This was everything we expected and more.
They have been constantly upgrading and redecorating so they have maintained the highest standards. Witness the new outdoor pool.
The dining room was outstanding for both breakfast and dinner. Those guys in the kitchen really have it together.
Every staff person has even gracious and accommodating to a person.
It's unreal.
I cannot find one criticism.
Do yourself a favor and book this place but please don't make it so popular that I can't get in next year.

Room tip: Be sure to carry on and experience Coombs and Cathedral Grove.

Great reception and helpful staff, comfy room and huge bed, beachfront views of the Strait. This resort has put a great deal of care into room refurbishment and upgrading, bravo. Now to finish the job the gym and pool need some new gear and repair of elliptical, exercise gear and cycles. Onwards. I’d recommend this well priced gear.

Room tip: Ask for executive suite.

What a great find! We wanted a short getaway, and this was perfect. We booked the one bed suite (King executive). It was lovely and spacious, like a small apartment. Very clean. Although it didn’t have a kitchen, we had a bar fridge, sink, and microwave and lots of cupboard space. Luckily we had a picnic basket (plates & cutlery, bread knife, etc) in the car, so this is what I’d recommend if you want to make light meals. The staff were friendly and helpful and great amenities.
