We had our first trip to Yellow Point Lodge on Vancouver Island!…read more We stayed in a room in the lodge. There are also waterfront cabins and field cabins. There is a large dining room, living room and activity room in the main lodge. There are hiking trails on the property, bicycles and kayaks as well as an outdoor pool (seasonal), outdoor hot tub, sauna and gym. All meals are included and the food was delicious! Meals are served buffet style and you share a table with other guests. Can't wait to return!!!

My girlfriend is in this little town for a job so I decided to tag along. The hotel is at the end…read moreof a round about and is easily seen. It is not right off the main road but close to it. The check in process was quick and easily and the lady was super nice. They had a little desk with a sign that welcomed pets which I thought was super cute. It had a bowl of treats, towels, and poop bags. I love pet friendly hotels. Parking is super easy they have a lot right in front of the hotel. The hotel offers a pretty nice gym and an inside pool with a jacuzzi, I wish I brought my bathing suit. They also offer free hot breakfast in the dining area which was pretty amazing. I've been to several hotels that serve breakfast and it's crap. I uploaded some pictures of the breakfast. The room is super nice and cute. The only thing I can say bad is that my free lotion was previously used and never replaced. I'm vegan and I don't use fragrance or amainar products at all and I was so happy to see that they use vegetable based soap! Well back to the hotel room lol, the bedroom was in a little room that you had the ability to slide a door and close it. We have a little dining area a couch and a nice size kitchen. Since town closes pretty early around here I recommend you buy some groceries and make food. I would recommend that you stay here

My family chose this hotel based on its swimming pool and hot tub with water slide and found out…read morethat this is just part of the benefit of staying here. The staff is very helpful and they provided a list of great restaurants locally, we choose 1948 Kitchen and Bar and highly recommend it, check my review over there. The rooms here are nice and well cared for and clean. The included breakfast was great and the scrambled eggs were better than expected. The location is walking distance to both a gas station/convenience store as well as a nice liquor store. We brought our dog and there's great grass and trail up on the rail road tracks for a nice walk. Can recommend if you find yourself in Nanaimo!

We decided to stay here as the hotel is fairly new and it looks clean and modern from the website…read more It is located by the highway, about 5-10 mins drive to Ladysmith. You will definitely need a car if you are staying here. It seems to be a new development (Oyster Bay Village) with nothing much in the vicinity at the moment. There are two gas stations -- one is across the road with A&W attached, the other has Tim Hortons and a small gift shop corner inside. A liquor store is also in the area. The hotel itself is basic and serves our needs. Hand sanitizer is readily available, especially at high touch point places. Coffee and cucumber flavored iced water are available by the elevators. There is also a fitness room plus a swimming pool with a giant slide and jacuzzi to relax. No changing rooms in the pool area but there are showers and washrooms. The room we had was comfortable. Basic amenities were provided (soap and shampoo/conditioner). I like how each bed has 3 pillows and they are fluffy and supportive. Breakfast was included but due to covid, it was a light breakfast of 4 items (granola bar, muffin, yogurt and fruit). Indicate on the form what your would like and they would be placed outside your door in the morning. Free parking and wifi too. The only drawbacks were noise: 1. the air conditioning kept going on and off as it tried to keep to the temperature indicated on the thermostat. So that kept me awake. 2. Kids running around on the level above us. The thumping was pretty much non stop when they were in the room. And kids do wake up early. We only informed the front desk about that when they asked us on our experience when we checked out. I also indicated that a few days later in the email survey form. To the hotel's credit, the management replied with an explanation. The "auto" setting on the AC caused the on and off issue. It would not happen if I set it to "Lo" or "High". Well, if this could be clearly indicated somewhere in the room, that would be helpful. There is a control panel in the room with the temperature indicated where you need to turn it on or off. Then there is a physical air conditioner with its own control panel, and no temperature indicated. Every hotel is different, so we didn't know how this worked. Regarding the thumping noises caused by children running, we were told to contact the staff in future as they could advise their guests to tone it down. So for future reference, the bottom line is to contact the staff immediately if you encounter any issue (noise or otherwise). The staff at the front desk are fabulous. Friendly and welcoming. I do not mind staying here again if I am traveling in this area next time. I do like that it is away from the town area.

A beautiful and private space with wonderful furnishings and the views are amazing! The owners were super friendly and gave us lots of advice on where to go sight see and where to find hidden treasure local eateries. We highly recommend AJ's Place if you are going to Vancouver Island in Canada and want the ocean just steps from your door.

I ordered one hour prior to picking up and arrived on the minute. So what happened? I was embarrassed serving it to my company from Alberta after bragging about WheatSheaf pizza, from which I've been ordering for years. I can't afford a repeat of that so I guess I'll be looking for an alternative go-to. I've never felt the need to, but if I ever order from there again, I would need to open the box. It's unfortunate I did not do that prior to paying the gratuity for our lack lustre dinner. Super disappointed.
