    “We spent three nights here and enjoyed the nicely appointed room with its kitchenette, amply-sized bathtub and shower. The bed was very comfortable, the lobby area was lovely and we had great dinner and breakfast meals at the restaurant, and enjoyed the cafe as well. The mineral pool was delightful, we spent hours there in multiple mornings, and we sat on deck chairs facing the ocean to enjoy the air and the view. The sauna and hot tub were also real treats—we met a local mom in the sauna playing hookie from her kids, a local who knew the value of a good local spa resource (non-hotel guests pay a fee for a visit). They keep the ice water dispenser full, offer spare towels, and can bring food/drink orders to your deck chair. I also got a great massage—note for Americans, booking a massage with someone who doesn’t have the PMT credential is fine unless you have an injury that requires what we call a physical therapist. Their non-PMT therapists are trained massage therapists! The reception agent and concierge were friendly and very helpful as well. Parking in the garage was easy too.”

    “The Oak Bay Beach Hotel was a recommendation from an acquaintance, and it's one we would share with others. The hotel has a lovely setting with great views. A walk out to the heated pool at 8 am is worth it for the view alone. Food was excellent, but perhaps the menu offerings don't always fit the location. Coming from the US, where wine is cheaper, we were a bit of a shock as to how much tax Canadians have to pay for a glass or bottle. The room was excellent, but did not have a view of the bay itself. You simply get outside and visit the pool for a view or take easy walks around the point and to the main shopping area. Would we go back? Yes!”

    “Overpriced! Staff didn't seem to know what was actually available in the eating/drinking places on the ground floor; we were sent in different directions by different staff. So we left and ate elsewhere! ”
