We wanted to be right on the cliff overlooking crashing winter storm waves! We tried to make plans in 2024 for their offered 4-day Christmas special (room, tree in room, ornaments for tree in room, breakfasts and Christmas Day dinner) but by mid 2024 the rooms for that time period were booked. Waited to early 2025 this time and were excited to get into a fantastic Deluxe room king size bed on the third floor of the Pointe Building. So, where to begin with all the many amenities, attentive staff and management interactions! Room was a very clean rustic appeal and looked right over surf below. Meals in the circular area were all fantastic choices, the drinks enjoyable. They provided water waders and raincoats so we were able to walk on the beach next to the Inn and that was an amazing experience for us. Huge wide beach that went on for miles. Sand was hard-packed so really no issue of getting stuck. Our weather was accommodating so not much rain and great walking time. But when not traveling a bit along the coast the room was a great respite and relaxing experience. While winter is normally a rougher time to travel to Tofino, I can imagine it is wonderful to go there in the other seasons as well. Next visit perhaps Autumn!

We had a reservation for 3 nights and were unable to keep it due to inclement weather. Our flight…read morefrom Vancouver was canceled and the ferry was also canceled. The Inn's ironclad no refund policy allows no room for Mother Nature and totally unpreventable situations. I was told I had to forfeit the cost of the room for 3 nights :( I cannot recommend this Inn or its cancellation policy.

Whether you choose to hang out in your cozy room and gaze out at the ocean, enjoy it from the great room (strategically constructed on the second floor), or take advantage of the firepits and adirondacks, a walk on the beach, etc,you really can't go wrong wrong here. It's truly a great place to retreat and enjoy the sea. We found the room to be clean, cozy, and well updated. Service was good throughout the property and the grounds are well kept. On this visit, the food was better than our last and I had the opportunity to chat with the chef who goes out of his way to design a menu that is as inclusive (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, etc) as possible-- which I personally appreciated very much. The great room is a great place to bring a book or a game and enjoy the view, beverages, snacks (or a full meal). On this visit, we felt a little more pressure than we'd have liked to continue ordering food & beverages despite being told we could just hang out & enjoy the couches. If you are wondering about the EV charging-- as of this writing their are two ev chargers up by the gift shop. They are very slow chargers. In one instance there was a non-EV parked in one of the spots which is always a bummer. That said, we were always able to charge when needed.

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.
