We ate at the more casual restaurant, having a dog we didn't want to leave him in the room so we couldn't try the more fancy restaurant, next time we will. We loved the hot tub, small pool, and gym. The room was spacious and clean had all we needed. Overall we had the best and relaxing time. We will be back!

Great views. Ok food. The food was good, not great. On par with going to an earls in our opinion.read more

A set of rooms and cabins with varying views and settings along a secluded beach looking out into…read morethe Pacific Ocean in Ucluelet. The exact feel and view varies a lot depending on where you stay, but the place is really well situated to explore the Wild Pacific Trail and other hiking around Ucluelet and then up toward Tofino. We stayed two nights in the Oceanfront Cabin 12 and three nights in the Nest cabin. The Oceanfront cabin was very modern throughout, almost to a fault. There are three levels. The bottom level had a bathroom, bedroom with a king bed, and laundry as well as a small mudroom. The Middle level was a kitchen, dining space and living room area with a balcony looking out at the ocean. The top level was a loft (open stairs leading down to the kitchen) with a king size bedroom and big bathroom with a huge shower and soaking tub. Despite the fact that the cabin was big, the space was laid out not as well as we'd have liked for a family of four. Only one bed in the bottom bedroom meant that we needed to use the couch bed in the living room and then meant that the upstairs bedroom wasn't secluded as it was open to the kitchen and living room. Also, the outdoor lights from the adjacent cabins reflected off the cedar trees, which meant that at night you had no ocean view to see only the bright trunks of cedars immediately out your window. The whole space also felt drafty and a bit cold and the WiFi was spotty on the top level. The Nest was a much nicer cabin for us even though it was smaller. The space was much more homey and lived in, but definitely not modern and arguably a bit run down. Still it had a much nicer view diagonally across the small bay out to the ocean and was better laid out for a family of four. Two bedrooms on the lower level one with a queen and one with two twins meant that everyone was sleeping in a bedroom and left the upstairs living space available after people had gone to bed. There was also a couch bed in the living room, so if you wanted you could have slept another set of people. It was also further from all the lights of other cabins (despite being nested in with many cabins) so that the view of the ocean was even there at night. Arguably the best part about the cabins is the location. You can walk directly to the Ucluelet lighthouse loop on the Pacific Wild Trail, which is an amazing 2.5-3 mile loop from the cabin out around the peninsula. You can also arguably walk the full Pacific Wild Trail up, but it's nice to drive to the Ancient Cedars trailhead and do the hike there with the Artists' Loops rather than hike the whole way up and back.

We stayed at the Lodge last week for our honeymoon. We spent three nights at the Lodge - the staff…read morewas incredibly friendly. The room was beautiful - skylights so we could see the stars at night from our bed, a lovely balcony overlooking Terrace Beach, and a very comfortable and spacious room. You really do feel like you are part of the forest and it's such a beautiful and serene environment. We had beautiful weather while we were there - sunny and warm every day. It's a little out of the way to get to Ucluelet but totally worth it for a three-day trip. It was very romantic and secluded - perfect for a honeymoon. My only negative would be that if you're expecting maid service to make your bed every day or you want fresh towels, your wastebasket emptied daily and clean coffee mugs, that's not going to happen. I was a little disappointed (mostly about having someone make my bed - it's always a treat to come home after a busy day to a freshly-made bed) :). I saw staff cleaning rooms but I think that was for guests checking out. Fortunately, my husband and I are used to reusing our towels and we took our own garbage and recycling out daily - there are bins located outside the lodge for this purpose. Also, the Lodge doesn't have a ice-maker so make sure to bring plenty of ice (the mini-fridges do come equipped with ice cube trays, however).

We…read morestayed in the "designated pets room", not because we had a pet, but because the other rooms were sold out. The tile floors were heated and there were no pet-like smells! Everything was cozy. I loved the warm room and natural light let in by the large skylights. Because it's couple-y, I suppose, there was no phone in the room. When we wanted to book sea kayaking, the owner made the phone call for us. The two rooms labeled "Forest View" are in a building separate from the main one. A storage room is between the two, so it was totally quiet and felt all to ourselves. I really didn't mind not having the Ocean View. We could still hear it, or go out to the common deck or down to the beach. The Great Room where breakfast is served has a wonderful view, and has a telescope for birdwatching. It opens to the deck with a hot tub, and stairs down to the private beach. See photos and descriptions on their very thorough website. They also have winter rates for the storm watch season! Free Wi-Fi in the Great Room (which, I suppose, might reach the rooms in the main building).

I recently spent two nights at A Snug Harbour Inn and had a fabulous time! What I enjoyed most was…read morethe view, fresh air and quiet stillness, not to mention laying out in the sun on our private deck. However, none of these rivalled the warmth and hospitality of Sue and Drew, the wonderful couple that own and run the establishment - and their funny and social dog, Malcolm. Without them, the Inn would just be another inn. While this is definitely a romantic spot suitable for couples, I visited with a friend and it was just as enjoyable. The Inn is in a super location, private, yet close to the Wild Pacific Trail and within walking distance of the town of Ucluelet and its restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a getaway in Ucluelet!

So I'd stay again but don't expect anything more than "good enough" and pack your own kitchen goodies if your planning on using the community kitchen.

A group of us stayed at the Canadian Princess Resort for a long weekend getaway in Ucluelet. Upon…read morearrival, we drove up to the front office to check in and get our room keys. The front desk clerks were very nice. In the lobby, they have a water dispenser which I ended up visiting a few times a day to refill my water bottle. Our room was a family loft upstairs at the end of the resort. We drove one driveway over to park and unload. Not sure if they have accessible options for those unable to take stairs, but the gravel steps from the parking lot to the building were a little treacherous in the rain. Survived, though so all was okay there. The family loft had two queen beds on the main floor with a sink and bathroom. The upper loft area had two twin beds. For our party of five (2 couples and 1 kid under 10), the arrangement was a bit wonky. Ideally, we would have had a split of the queen and twin beds so the parents could be with their child, but it didn't quite work out that way. I wasn't a fan of the shared space having a separate sink from the bathroom. It was a lot of thinking ahead about what I needed to bring in the bathroom with me when showering or dressing. It wouldn't have been as big of a deal if we weren't sharing space with other people, but it took a little extra thought since we were with others. The room had a small TV, a good-sized refrigerator, a small microwave, a Keurig coffee maker, a kettle, 2 mugs, and a handful of disposable cups. The room was on the older side and had a musty smell, but it was clean. The walls and ceilings were pretty thin... I was paranoid about 10 PM quiet time, especially since we had a very energetic kid with us. No one complained though, so that was good. We were worried that our downstairs neighbor's dog would be keeping us up as we kept hearing it bark on the first day, but that turned out to be a non-issue. The view we had was of the harbor and boats with the misty mountains in the background, which was nice. We didn't realize it until after the first day but they weren't doing any housekeeping, so we went down to the office to request for more amenities like fresh towels, more coffee, and more toilet paper. The location was pretty central to town, so that was helpful to get a good walk over to the Wild Pacific Trail for a beautiful, scenic hike (2 miles to get there & back, 2 miles of hiking) and for hitting lunch and dinner spots nearby. Overall, this place was a bargain. The people were very lovely. The rooms could use some upgrades. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a good a value in a central location.

It was a 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a sofa couch. Surprisingly both were very comfortable. There was a full kitchen with pots, plates and utensils, but no tin foil. The outside tub is a tub; not a hot tub. Filling it up half way takes up all of the hot water for your unit and then you have to wait 90 minutes for your hot water tank to reheat. That was the only downside as the water in the tub went cold within 20 mins and we were forced to wait another 70 mins to take a shower. Also, the hot water in the shower only lasts about 5-10mins so you have to take very quick showers.
