We did the hydropath and massages and booked the romance suite down on the water. That suite is enormous, and while the tub in it looks neat, after a whole day of being in the water, we didn't need a bath. ;) Everything is freshly renovated, and after all these years, the spa looks just as clean and well-kept as it always was. I actually prefer this place to Canyon Ranch or the Mission Sonoma. I know. That sounds crazy but I do love it here. Note: there is a separate Yelp listing for the restaurant. It's a bit hit-and-miss.

It was always well kept and tidy with laundry and shower facilities. Across the highway there were numerous boats sitting on logs that were lifted in and out of the water with a seasoned forklift(gone for some time now). Last time I was in the area I drove through the campground and it was just like going back in time, mostly everything looked untouched and still in great shape. It's a shame that the Salmon fishing atmosphere is long since gone and the campground has no website to promote themselves. I would stay there in a heartbeat if the boat launch facilities were restored. Darren Bender Medicine Hat, AB

We also weren't expecting the best room as we saw how much the price fluctuated depending on where you are on the property, some are ocean views and much bigger suites. The hotel photographs better than it actually looks. The location is just outside of the city by 7 mins which we didn't mind at all, the location is beautifully located right on the water but boy could it be so much better with a good upgrade and modernization. We checked in easy and the staff was pleasant. We got to our room and it was abit weird in terms of layout. Stairs down to the double bed room. There's a table randomly in the corner with one chair. The room is spacious but there's nothing to fill the space, there's no artwork either when they could totally lean into the West coast of it all. The bathroom was freezing and shoved to the back of the room like a closet - no window or ventilation. The decks have absolutely no privacy screening and the furniture is really uncomfortable so it's not the most pleasant to sit outside unless you really wanna chat with your neighbors. The beds were the best part - super comfy mattress and sheets. The amenities are worn down - we went to the gym and a lot of the stuff wasn't working. We didn't try the pool as it was quite busy with kiddos. We did however enjoy sitting on the dock down by the water for abit to soak in the ocean and sun! When we were ready to leave our car was absolutely covered in bird shit lol. There should be some sort of warning to not park under a particular tree at the back as apparently it happened to the guy next to us too a day before so he switched parking spots! We had to go to the gas station to wash it off. All in all I'd look at other options next time.

My husband and I stayed two nights with our son and his family and at $1400 you would hope to at least have a good night's sleep but those who were on the pull-out slept terribly. Definitely over-priced! We stayed Sept. 27th and 28th and on the 27th the pool was very cool and the hot tub was barely tepid, at best, to the point where we thought they were hoping no one would want to use them near the end of their season. They heated them both for the second day after it was pointed out that they were cold, especially the lack of heat in the "hot" tub. The cottage toilet is in the same area as the whirlpool tub, so if you want to use the washroom while someone is having a nice bath, or are giving kids a bath, you have to go to the public washrooms. Perhaps there could be a bit of a renovation so the toilet is separate?

Beware of Unscrupulous business practices! Anyone traveling to Powell River please be extremely…read morecautious if you stay at the Beach Gardens Resort and Marina. If you are thinking about booking this property, I would strongly advise you to reconsider. I stayed at the Beach Gardens Resort and Marina for one night, while traveling to the Sunshine Coast. At check in I was informed that a $200 damage deposit would be charged to my card in addition to the nightly charge for the room. I figured it was similar to the pre-authorizations for incidentals etc so I wasn't overly concerned at the time. My initial impression of the property and the check in attendant was that they both seemed a bit sketchy. I know myself well enough though to know that I should have listened to my intuition and that What happened next should have come as no surprise. There was a notice posted in the room with the check out instructions. The instructions were to leave the key cards in the room and invoices would be emailed the following day. I figured the reason for this was that they were short-staffed so I left my key cards on the dresser as instructed and left. A few days had passed and I hadn't received the refund or an email with my receipt. I contacted the hotel through Expedia and received a reply from Cheryl Ilott, the Rooms Division Manager, on Aug 15th, confirming that the charge for the deposit had been released. The message I received from Cheryl stated, "We released it the next day on our end and it is now up to your bank when they do it." Cheryl Ilott. The message was very straightforward. It was clear from her response that the property was confirming that they had released the $200 damage deposit and any further delay was due to my bank. Essentially they were removing themselves of any liability for the deposit not being returned to my card and transferred the blame to my bank. Another 5 days had passed and there was still no refund, so on Aug 20th I contacted my bank. My bank confirmed that the charge had not been refunded as I had suspected. The agent asked me to contact the hotel to confirm the transaction details in order to get proof that they had released the deposit. I reached out to Expedia to see if they could assist me as I had made the booking through their site. It was at that time I was informed by the Expedia agent who had contacted the property on my behalf, that the TV was broken and the deposit had not been released. Firstly this entire broken TV scenario is a complete and utter fabrication. I was never informed of any of this by the hotel nor did they ever email me a receipt of my stay as is their protocol. I am an experienced traveler and have never been accused of damaging a TV, a hotel room or any its contents. I'm at a loss for how I could be accused of this by these people. I was given no details of the damages to the TV, no explanation of the charges or proof to support this ridiculous accusation. Although I am unfamiliar with this situation I can't imagine that any reputable business would just withhold a damage deposit without the courtesy of informing their customers of the charges. It goes without saying that this is not a reputable establishment. The claim against me is untrue and the way in which the hotel staff handled this was extremely unprofessional. These people are not only dishonest but are desperate! How is it that on August 15th I was told by Miss Cheryl Ilott, their Rooms Manager, that the deposit had been refunded and then 5 days later on August 20th, the story changed completely and I'm being accused of breaking their TV? Overall, I feel really badly for the hotel employees and management. When people have to resort to such unethical business practices and wrongfully accuse their guests of damages to generate income due to their apparent lack of cash flow is just tragically pathetic. So many employees and businesses, especially those in the hospitality industry, have been hit hard by the pandemic. But that's certainly no excuse to lie and make these types of accusations. It's sad that there are people like this who lack integrity managing this hotel. It's unfortunate because the location is so beautiful. During my stay there I remember thinking about what a beautiful property it could have been if only it had been owned and operated by the right people. Maybe one day it could be amazing and all hope is Not lost. I hope that one day this will be a lovely place for travelers to stay and that these desperate people don't have to resort to lying and defrauding their guests for much longer. Hopefully my review will shed some light on this situation and I can make a positive impact by preventing other guests from being taken advantage of.
