エイプリルポイントリゾート(April Point Resort)

Overall the area is obviously stunning and beautiful, so that’s the main reason to stay there. It’s calm, quiet and a great place to unwind. The lodges themselves are a little rustic and basic, but they are fine. The service was super friendly and helpful. Was truly disappointed in the restaurant. The prices were expensive and for $45 I would have expected the seafood pasta to have fresh local seafood (after all…it’s located on the ocean) but the frozen seafood which barely had any meat to it was super disappointing. I was expecting plump prawns, mussels, clams and salmon which was quoted on the menu. The clam meat was nonexistent, the prawns were tiny shrimps and the salmon was lox. Just…yeah not super impressed. I honestly can’t say I’d likely return, but glad we had the experience nonetheless.

The property is beautiful. You are on the ocean inlet and have a chance to see whales, dolphins etc. The cabins are very comfy. Nice bathroom. Bed is good. The pictures show a beautiful dining room, tablecloths and all, but it does not exist. Some of our friends and us were looking for an excellent dinner, but all they had was one waitress, the food was bad, . Soup and burger is not what I call dining.Our friends were all the way from Switzerland and were totally disappointed. Amazingly the room rates are still for full season, but it looks like the place is closing down in a few days. After coming back from a function, the parking lot all the way to your room is pitch black. No lights anywhere, luckily we had our cellphone with us. If it was not for the scenery we would not go back.. there were 13 of us staying there. Pretty well everyone said the same.

We were not told when booking that the spa and hot tub were closed. The rooms had a cabin feel, which we expected. Definitely an older property. But the view was phenomenal. For the most part the staff were friendly, but when we tried to go to the restaurant we were rudely told they wouldnt take walk ins. It says reservations recommended (not required), on the website, and as we were travelling from Victoria, we didn't reserve as we didn’t know our arrival time. We went into town to the Clove, as it was after 7 and that was all that was open. They were super friendly and the food was phenomenal. It was such a nice experience that we cancelled our dinner reservations at the resort just to go back the next night. Overall experience was ok, the nice, quiet getaway we were looking for.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful place to sit and be right on the ocean. Highly recommend.

Amazing location, great staff, but what was once a glorious lodge has now fallen into disarray. Room was clean and comfortable but a note on tub said to use shower, not tub. Roofs are covered with moss so thick they look like thatched roofs. No blankets in bedroom. Views are incredible. Really wish owners gave a s$&t and would bring this property back to its former glory.

April Point has a good location. Our suite looked nice but a lovely touch was missing. Meals for dining were average and overpriced, the dining room was outdated. Waiters have a lack of gastronomical knowledge. Prosecco is served in a thick wine glass. But for breakfast, you had to get self-serve a take-out box, which was incomprehensible, because the room costs $ 300/ night. The spa was closed, no kayak rentals.

Staff on site were superb. The rooms are comfortable but the bathrooms need updating. They have an old fashioned shower head instead of a hand held unit. The dining room needs an update. The food and staff were excellent, but the dining room is tired

First impressions of the resort were pretty good, sweet little cabin, facing the ocean, ideal for whale, watching, and sunsets. No Wi-Fi, TV in the room didn’t work, small leak under the toilet in the bathroom, jetted tub didn’t work. No Wi-Fi and no TV were manageable. Just would’ve been nice to know ahead of time. Notified the front desk about the leak however, no one came to address it. Some concern as wooden steps up to the cottage were rotting. Great service in the restaurant from Rebecca. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and overpriced. Beautiful views from all around the resort.

Beautiful scenery, friendly staff—however room was not as show on booking to be “deluxe studio”. Only one “window” for fresh air which was a sliding door with a broken screen- not the safest feeling or protection from bugs, and the room required air exchange as it was stuffy, musty, stinky ans hot. Extremely old and dated room/buildings, much about the property needing repairs (all wood structures old and should be replaced dock was sketchy). Parking is a ways away and not ideal access for persons with mobility issues. Will not be staying or recommending this property in the future.
