Included breakfast was decent with boiled eggs, fresh fruit, fresh croissant, bagels, toast, ham/cheeses, and juices/coffee/tea. The negatives- The first lower level ocean view room with patio we stayed in the first night we checked the linens and bed as we normally would - discovered the sheets and pillow covers were past their prime and had that well used scent. Worse the duvet was likely hardly or never cleaned and had many stains, liquid spills/accidents, and what seemed like old blood. We notified the staff the next morning of this. Our second night we stayed at a upper level ocean view room with patio and checked the linens and bed - this room had similar condition linens and pillows and duvet didn't have as nearly as many stains. Sorry but these are not items an establishment can cheap out on - to clean thoroughly and/or replace when needed. There are no excuses for these conditions. Also no television in rooms or lodge.

Room options include 2 lodges plus triplex and duplex cabins with us choosing room 28, a second floor queen in the Headlands Lodge. In 2004 and 2006 we stayed at the adult only Lodge on Beach, but found the rooms too small. Our room had a micro patio offering a pretty good view of Mackenzie Beach if one leaned out over the railing. The lodge is very eco friendly going back to its original construction and furnishings. The setting is drop dead gorgeous with unobstructed views of Middle and MacKenzie beaches. Every employee we encountered throughout our stay proved to be both friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast is offered each day that covers the bases, but it became repetitive after 3 mornings. Dinner is served in season at the Lodge at the Headlands 5 nights per week with appetizers available in the Great Room beginning at 6PM. The evening's appetizer, lemon guacamole crustini, was excellent. At 7PM everyone joined a conga line for dinner that featured an entree of poached Chinook salmon with a spicy tomato chutney and lemon linguine. Three excellent salads were served buffet style - spicy quinoa, green beans and a mix salad with orange segments and roasted squash. Desserts included a choice of chocolate lava or mille-feuille. The chocolate lava cake was unexpectedly dry, the only misstep of the evening.

Aside from the unique structure, we really liked this hotel because it was a beach front property close to restaurants/grocery store and had a fully equipped kitchen. The view from our balcony was beautiful - whether it be in the morning or evening. The hotel may look a bit rustic outside but we liked how modern and clean the washroom was. The kitchen also had complete and proper kitchen items we could borrow throughout our stay. Parking is next to the studio which made it very easy for us to load and unload our things. Guests observed silence in the evening which helped make it a pleasant experience for everyone. Customer service was mostly done by text. Check in and check out were easy and the procedures were sent by email. We also received reminders by text. When we had questions, the staff was a text away. This was very convenient for us and the staff responded quickly. This said, wifi and cell reception worked well during our stay as well. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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!

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.
