The suite is beautiful. But the stay is nothing short of horrific. Stomping, running, wrestling,…read morenon stop kids in an upstairs suite is just plain torture. Tried calling the front desk to ask them to ask them to be mindful there are people downstairs. This did nothing. Was just dismissed, offered no solutions. And left to just endure this torturous experience. I'm now on day 2 of a three night stay and about ready to shoot myself. Poor construction. No transparency. No consideration from either the people upstairs, nor the resort themselves. Got this on a BC Ferries vacation package thinking it was a good deal. No deal is worth this. If you value your sanity at all, don't ever consider this place as a vacation option. I will never stay here again.

After my post-check out complaint about the ceiling fixtures rattling (for which I complained the…read morefirst evening) this was management's response. Beware: if you don't own (which I didn't even know was a thing?!) you are a second class citizen despite what you are paying per night. "Thank you for your email and your concerns about the noise coming from the Villa above you. I do agree that the noise from units above can be off putting. The guest above you were owners and come monthly. Typically, owners do not disclose whom they will be travelling with at time of booking as they book a year in advance. These owners were made aware of their disturbance to you while staying below and did try their best. Unfortunately, we were not able to move you as we were fully booked that weekend. I apologize for the inconvenience this caused you during your stay. I do hope that the rest of the resort amenities and your stay was to your satisfaction. If you choose to stay with us again, I would like to offer you a complimentary upgrade with your booking to a lofted unit. Kindest Regards, Sherri" Go to the Rockwater.

Great place to stay, especially if you want a view of the ocean. All rooms face the bay which is…read morereally nice. The only drawback is there is no elevator. But it is only two levels. Just pack light or request for ground floor if you have mobility issue. I don't think this was mentioned in their website. I wish I knew about it as I am recovering from an accident and still working on my strength. Lucky I only had an overnight bag so I could manage the stairs. I didn't request for daily cleaning since I was only there for 2 nights. I did overhear the staff telling a customer they don't vacuum the room and only change the towels. The customer was complaining the room was not cleaned at all. So something to take note of. My room was clean when I checked in. Otherwise the room is pretty good. I had a nice view of the pier though it was partially blocked by the tree outside. The AC could be more powerful. The sun does make the room warmer when the temperature outside is 23-25c. I love the bee kind range of amenities. They are nice. I also like the rain shower and handheld shower options. The front desk staff are friendly and they will also call the room to check if you need anything before they knock off for the night. There is no 24 hours reception here. I like the coffee machine in the lobby as it has more choices. Just have to wait till 8am when the reception is open. When the AC is turned on, I can't hear anything. But when it is turned off, I can hear voices from other rooms. But at night it is quite ok. No loud noises from inside or outside. I didn't really hear the traffic outside despite it being the highway. I will definitely stay here again. And you will need to car to get around Sunshine Coast easily. Only a few restaurants and shops in the area so you will definitely be going out and about. There is a bus stop next door though.

Really wanted to like this place but one thing that is a plus would be a walk across the street to…read morethe pier and you can see the gulf of Georgia. Do not get room 100 or 101. It's like a basement, dungeon type of feeling. There were water damaged marks on the ceiling and some mildew odor. I think the other part was that this room faces the seating area where the hotel restaurant was so you hear the noise and they can see you (if you dont have your blackouts and screen on) from the outside. When asked to change the room, they said they were fully booked. 5-7pm they have popsicles for the kids Also, on the website it mentioned you can get 2 hours of free kayak rental but the weekend we were there, they had a wedding so it was not open. Lame! When asked to speak to the manager, they put you on hold on the phone and then wait and they will say they spoke to the manager but in fact they did not because I was standing right in the lobby.

But it's an experience akin to "fawlty towers" staying here. amateur. messy. horrible service. be prepared to tidy up after others if you wish to lay poolside, use the one fire pit or request a kayak. this is an expensive non luxury experience. I've stayed at Travelodge and Airbnb that were better at a fraction of the price. and for what is available in this area, it's not that special. special callout goes to the atrocious front desk staff. second runner up is the housekeeping that took three separate visits to clean the room yet still didn't provide towels or coffee. and when something broke in the room it took three calls and over an hour to get a simple repair done. I will NEVER stay here again

An instant favourite was the scallops which was rich and creamy without being overly heavy. The atmosphere is casual but classy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal.

The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors are expertly balanced.

Right on the main highway, hope it's not too noisy The young lady at the front desk was friendly and pleasant for sure The beds are okay. The carpets is stained in our room 122. Wifi a bit sketchy. I think Gibson's is very seasonal and it's very hard to keep a motel alive and even harder now with the Pandemic Would not stay here again. Would not come thru this area again.

I stayed one day at the Gibsons Landing Inn on a recent business trip to the area…read more I found them on Expedia.com which provided pictures of the Inn including the rooms and an overview of their offerings. Let first say that what was written on Expedia and the photos were 100% accurate. It's a lovely Inn/hotel...the kitchenette was very big, with nearly a regular size refrigerator. My first thought was this room was bigger than my first studio apartment (many years ago). The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The room was also appointed with a couch, a table with two chairs, lots of closet space and a TV. They provided free WiFi which was mostly reliable and like the big hotels squeeze bottles of lovely scented shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the spacious shower. What the Inn has in spades is serenity...there was hardly any outside noise...if the sliding glass door(to the patio) is closed, you get relative silence...the AC provided me with just enough white noise to be a comfort. If you have them open you'll hear the ocean and the birds more than the cars...very lovely! Lastly, it's within walking distance of the harbor and "Main Street" of Gibsons including a cultural museum, an outdoor piano, as well as some of the bars and restaurants of Gibsons. My POV of hotels is colored by the fact that I'm a 9yr Hilton Diamond member and there are certain amenities that I've come to consider as a given that is somewhat jarring when they aren't available like at this Inn. 3 examples: -no iron or ironing board-a business person like me needs an iron and ironing board. -the limited amount of outlets. I used outlets on every part of the room to charge my watch, two cell phones and computer. -no black out curtains, while the blinds offered privacy...they couldn't block out the light (natural or otherwise). I didn't bring my eye mask because I just take it as a given at Hilton hotels they have blackout curtains. Lucky for me I was too tired for it to matter. Lastly, every interaction was done electronically. There is no "front desk" and there isn't a breakfast area (that I was aware of) so once you're check in, you're on your own. It's the perfect place for a movie star (under an assumed name) to stay...no one will see you come and go. The Gibsons Landing Inn is a modern, well appointed and lovely hotel/motel/Inn. More fitted for the needs of the tourists to the area than a typical business person. Still knowing what I know, I'll probably be back next time Im in the area.

For the price we paid, no complains. The inn is listed as 3 stars. The staff was very friendly…read more Inside was ok. The inn was clean. It is definitely not fancy. There is a pool and looking inside the pool, it looks clean and decent. The bathroom is a good size and is quite spacious. I am surprised that the rooms in the inn wasn't too hot. I think it helps when it is surrounded by lots of trees/greens. Yes there is no air conditioning in the rooms but they do provide a fan. One thing that surprised me was that there isn't a lot of cars parked in the parking lot but the inn itself was sold out and there are no frequency. Location wise is pretty good. It is about 15 mins walk to the seawall/Gibson Landing area. Drive to the ferry is about 15 mins. The room we stayed in came with a microwave, toaster oven, fridge, sink and two stove burners (that we didn't expect). Cutleries and plates are provided as well. The bed was not bad. It was comfy. Yes there is a TV in the room. I believe there are some long term tenants living in the inn and some short terms as well. We stayed here for 4 nights. Overall it was ok. This is a family ran business. I am guessing the family lives here. It was cute to see pet birds in a cage in the front. There is no room service here. If you requires towel or extra toiletries, you will need to request that. Overall, it was ok.

The guy on graveyard was super awesome. He came to the front desk right away at close to midnight. He offered $105 for a room with a queen bed and gave us directions to the room, walking us halfway there. Our room came with a kitchenette, and I learned all rooms here do. Hardwood floors with tile at the entry and bath. Room was clean, although a little rough around the edges. Some paint, replace the burnt out light bulbs and small repairs and it would be perfect. Nothing to complain about as we could still see in the bath. Bed was quite comfortable. We slept like logs. Toilitries provided were just shampoo, conditioner and bar soap but again, nothing to complain about for a small place and the price. Blow dryer provided but no hot air and after 15 minutes of trying to blow dry my short hair, I gave up. They have an outdoor pool, free wifi, free parking and some rooms have fireplaces. We didn't try out the pool. Close to the ferry and definitely would stay here again.

The prices and portions are amazing compared to what we get on the mainland.For two people, we didn't order drinks- just stuck with water, our bill came to about $35.xx. The clam chowder was delicious! Lots of variety of sea food, and was quite filling. I had the smoked salmon bagel, it was good, my only complaint was that the Salmon didn't taste as it was "smoked." Along with the bagel it came with two sides, a house salad and sea salted fries. My boyfriend had the Pebble's salad. It looked appetizing, my boyfriend enjoyed it. Service was excellent, we had different servers come up to us and asked if we were taken care of. It was a little confusing for us, I thought the back was the main entrance. None the less, it was kind of the staff to come up to us and asked if we were taken care of. Will come back in the future, if we're ever in Seschelt.

Resort has many accommodation options at a reasonable price...canoe, paddle board rentals available…read more$50.00 for 2 hours. Unfortunately, they made us carry the boards across the highway to the beach ourselves which I think wasn't the best service after shelling out a lot of cash for the rentals. The map is a bit deceiving and some accommodations are far from the lake, but not a big deal.The safari tents were a fun change to stay in. They were clean and had a Queen bed and bunk beds. They have chickens on the property and the rooster woke us up at 4:30 am so that was not fun. However, my kids enjoyed watching the chickens and baby chicks wandering around. The lake was amazing. Warm and crystal clear. You could not really utilize the dock as a few families with boats seem to camp out on it. Totally, unable to social distance on the dock. Private beach is tiny so has similar difficulties with social distancing. Also, the beach access is across from the highway which was not really clear on the map. Great public access down the road, but it gets busy as well. Aside from carrying the boards, staff were friendly and very helpful. Provided life jackets and mosquito repellant when needed. Check in and check out was easy and they were great about sanitizing debit machines and pens as needed. Sanitizer was throughout property. There is a kitchen near the tents which has a kettle, sink and microwave as well as space for food prep. Lots of picnic space. There was a fire ban in effect. But has an awesome fire pit area that would be great to use when there is no ban. Other people that I met who were staying there were very friendly and no concern with late night partying and noise. Dinner out at the restaurant was amazing but a tad pricey. Service was a bit slow, but I give them some leeway with covid and everything that comes with it. Patio is lovely and overlooks the lagoon. All said, I would definitely come again, but maybe try to stay farther away from the roosters or bring ear plugs!
