The minus 1 star was due to my massage experience. My masseuse was 30 mins behind.

It would have been nice if reception informed me about the tardiness as a heads up. We really enjoyed Velocity golf. Staff were super nice and family had lots of fun.

The staff were great from the beginning of our planning to the end of the wedding weekend. The Barn is such a great space for an intimate party (we had 94 guests). All our guests loved coming up and spending the weekend away hiking and climbing. The only thing I would have done differently was to bring in a chef. The food provided by the lodge is good quality and very affordable but pretty basic as far as flavours go. Everything else, as I have said was just perfect.

We had a family reunion here this summer, and was so pleased with this place. There were about 50…read moreadults and children total. We rented three houses: Cottage 11, Preece Cottage, and Seale House. Each had their own kitchen. Preece Cottage: The largest of the 3 that we rented. There are 3 floors of bedrooms plus a loft. The kids all loved sleeping and hanging out in the loft. Plus side to this house, it's large and accommodates a large number of people. Downside: it accommodates a large number of people. That house was always busy. Beautiful view from the bedroom balconies, though. For parking for this house, our family used the small parking lot next to the house. Seale House: My immediate small family was assigned to the Seale House, and I am so grateful. There are 3 bedrooms downstairs each with their own separate entrance from the outside as well as a closet room that we used as a 4th room. Two of the rooms downstairs had their own bathroom inside the room. The third room (which we were assigned) did not have its own bathroom, but there was wan directly across the hall which was pretty much our own bathroom since everyone else had their own bathrooms. There is a 4th bathroom upstairs that the "bedroom" upstairs used as their bathroom. For parking there is room for about 2 to 3 cars right next to the house, and we parked a 4th car lower (but next to the exterior entrances to the bedrooms). Cottage 11: Smaller of the 3 houses. Close to the water and water activities launch site, but the least favorite set up of the 3 houses for me. I believe they parked up in the lot across from Preece. Activities: There are scheduled activities both in the AM and PM that you can sign up for. Each day is different, so check the calendar for the week. The AM activities usually cost money, but I think all the PM activities were free. We did "zip lining" one morning. It's great for beginners and those wary of heights, but if you are looking for more of a thrill, this is not it. WildPlay (which many of the family did prior to Strathcona) sounded much more thrilling. For this zip lining course, one has to walk across a balance beam and then a tight rope to get to the platform to zip line, and it's just the one line. Other family members did the rope course the next day which looked more fun. Water activities was worth the money. You can rent a canoe (small or large), kayak, paddle board, etc for the whole day (or by the hour). We would rent one or two of each and rotate use throughout the day. I recommend the canoe or kayak and paddling to the smaller islands to explore swim holes, and just the islands. Pack a picnic lunch. We definitely got our money's worth from the rentals. There's also a swimming area and a sand volleyball court. Hiking: There are trails on the property, but most of the family also drove to some of the nearby waterfalls. The favorite was Myra falls (about a 40 minute drive out). The pictures of especially lower Myra Falls was absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had gone to Myra Falls instead of the zip lining. Dining: There is a restaurant onsite, but we never ate there. We purchased breakfast and lunch items from Costco on the way to the lodge, and for dinner, we had prepared stuff ahead of time and had one large group dinner each night. Dinner was held at Seale House one night. Another night we had a BBQ by the pit. The first night we arranged ahead of time for the Salmon dinner. Because of fire warning, they could not cook the salmon over the fire pit as usual. Instead, they baked it in the oven ahead of time. NOT recommended. I think it would've been better cooked in the fire pit. Overall, this was one of the most relaxing vacations I've had. Lodging was great. Scenery was BEAUTIFUL. Weather was perfect (we went last week of July). Plenty of activities (water activities on site, hiking trails on site, and waterfalls nearby). Free WiFi only at the main lodge. No cellphone coverage. If you need to go to the store for something more than what they sell at the general store at the main lodge, you need to go into one of the next towns, which is about 30-40 minute drive either direction. Highly recommend, and would definitely go back!

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Review of Vista Del Mar…read morePending review Hi everyone, Let me tell you a tale... I rented a room for two guests on Thursday, August 23, 2018 for about $110. The owner / night manager completely misread a situation where two of my friends attended our room to check up on my guest who was resting at about 10:30PM. He ended up yelling at them to get off the property and busting down a locked and bolted door to wake up and kick out my guest. My friends and guest were compliant and left but the owner continued to chase them onto the adjacent property demanding return of the room key and threatening to call the police. We gave the key to him immediately and he advised we could return the following day for a refund. I returned the next morning at about 9AM, very disappointed and advised I would like my refund for the room. The same guy was working. I assume he owns the place. English is obviously not his first language, and he's very difficult to understand. He advised sternly that I would not be getting a refund and that he was going to bill about $1000 in damages for the room - that he caused when he broke the door down - to my credit card. When I said that would be unacceptable and tantamount to theft, he stated he was going to call the police. I don't know if he actually did, but he advised someone on the phone that I was "threatening him at his place of business". Untrue. I left peacefully as I had other things to do besides dealing with this nonsense. None of us are trouble makers, and the owner / manager's actions were completely uncalled for. There are plenty of hotels / motels in Campbell River that have treated me very well over the years. This was the worst experience I've ever had as a patron / guest. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I would give it a negative 5, if I could. Best regards, Johnny

No Toilet Paper!? MOUSE FECES? A suite that smells SO BAD you want to VOMIT!?  The only thing missing was a BLOODY NEEDLE lying around. If these are things you want to pay money for, then look no further.  My stay at Seascape checked off all those boxes.  A call to the health authority could shut this place down.  Come on now.  HOW does this even EXIST? **On the PLUS SIDE, you could have EXPIRED, MOLDY food for FREE with a side of spiders and mice)** It's a rundown property with a dishonest property manager that will do anything to make money.  They don't care about you or your experience. I confirmed with Matthew (my host) that my reservation was good to go since I was driving a long way.  From start to finish, it was all a LIE! The photos of the suite were NOT ACCURATE.  I paid for a beautiful waterfront property.  What I got was an OLD, ABANDONED house tucked way up the hill.  The listed photos on Airbnb were for the top floor suite that someone lives in.  The initial photos were replaced after I confronted the manager that it was FALSE ADVERTISING.  My suite had NO HYDRO set up, so they forced me into the house.  The place smelled so NASTY since it hadn't been opened or lived in since the previous owners took off in a hurry many months ago. Even after all of this, talking with Matthew about all of the problems in person and my unhappiness about my stay, he reassured me and the on-site caretaker that he would give me a partial or full refund.  I didn't hear from him, so I contacted Airbnb for a resolution.  He refused and gave me NO REFUND and Airbnb offered to refund a portion. Despite the nice view of the Bay, it's NOT WORTH spending any money on a place this HORRIBLE!  This place DOESN'T DESERVE your hard earned money.  STAY VERY FAR AWAY!
