Reviews for Duffin Cove Resort

Review 1：It would be great to have a microwave. Wonderful leftovers from dinners but could not warm.

Review 2：Location close to town so we could walk everywhere. Waking up and going to sleep to the sound of the waves. Watching light of sunrise and sunset on the adjacent islands. Coffee in room terrific! Real coffee! Not weak stuff so often found in rooms. Friendly helpful staff.

Review 3：The moonlight woke us up in the night and begged us to enjoy the night sky and the sound of the surf. We cannot complain. It was so worth getting up to.

Review 4：Spectacular views framed in a quiet clean cabin on the waterfront made for a fantastic stay. The management was great and the location cannot be beat.

Review 5：The only downside was that the walls were pretty thin and on my last night a couple with a toddler moved in upstairs and the toddler was running around and jumping non-stop for hours... It felt like the room was shaking and that he was in mine with me! I hadn't noticed it the three previous nights as a much quieter couple were in there.

Review 6：The most beautiful view from the studios... Really beautiful and completely rivals the much more expensive hotels up near Mackenzie and Chesterman's beaches... But with the convenience of being close to town, restaurants, supermarket, cafés

Review 7：The location was perfect being on a beautiful bluff overlooking Duffin Passage and only 1 block from town centre. We walked to restaurants, the pier and the trails to Tonquin beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back!

Review 8：Pulled up to a beautiful view of the water. Clerk at the desk was delightful and greeted us warmly. We were satisfied with the suite, which was very cozy and well maintained.

Review 9：Bath had no fan, room was very cold upon arrival, for the $ spent, the bed should have been a queen, with a kitchen - paper towels should have been provided another stand for a suitcase should have been provided

Review 10：the location was fabulous, outdoor picnic tables were wonderful, people were very very pleasant Sheets were very nice Walkable distance to Tofino hub

Review 11：Walls too thin! I heard footsteps above my room, people talking, and I listened to someone snore from another room all night : (

Review 12：Natalie! Quiet, clean, convenient to town but also waterfront

Review 13：Cleaning staff did not replace linens once removed and when asked about reported 'she did not do our room ',if well trained she would have remedied the problem .also other cleaning staff spoke /understood English poorly. Staff need to be trained to handle these little things so they can feel pride in problem solving .owners/managers need to train staff on these details.

Review 14：Location was fabulous, convenient and in a beautiful setting. Receptionist/manager on site was helpful.

Review 15：Room didn't fulfil expectations as shown description and pictures. Noisy rooms (thin or poorly isolated walls). We were charged twice before our visit (fixed after my notice). Overall, poor relation quality/price.

Review 16：Friendly staff

Review 17：No bad experience.

Review 18：Beautiful view of the ocean - close-up! Friendly, helpful staff, including dog, Whitney. Location private, yet only a short walk to grocery store and restaurants.

Review 19：The smell of cat's urine in the two bedrooms. The ustensils cupboard were smelly.

Review 20：Hang out outside at the sunset and looking at the ocean. Being closed to the village of Tofino.

Review 21：The lack of amenities for the price. I realize it was high season, however a fridge, a coffee maker, a tv and that's about it for the ocean view salon unit

Review 22：It was quiet and peaceful and the view was amazing.

Review 23：The overall worn out feeling of the facility. It would be awesome if they provided breakfast!

Review 24：The location is fantastic and the rustic charm of the room was perfect. The staff were so friendly and even Raven the cat came by to visit :)

Review 25：WiFi only worked in a particular spot outside.

Review 26：The location directly overlooking the rocks and ocean and only a couple of minutes' walk from Tofino centre.

Review 27：Water supplies broke, but was repaired quickly. Lack of phone complicated matters.

Review 28：View, helpful manager, and proximity to town. Good advice on where to eat, but wish they had breakfast facilities.

Review 29：The front desk was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and sincere. They had a fantastic dog and wonderful baby kitten - so cute! The views from the picnic tables - amazing! We took out dinner out there and had dungeness crab, cooked in the unit's in-suite kitchen, while watching the sun set.

Review 30：Addswr

Review 31：Right in the middle of Tofino, all the local shops and restaurants were on our doorstep so waddling back to our room after a big delicious seafood meal was no biggie! Staff were most helpful with our queries

Review 32：We stayed in 101 which overlooked the beautiful cove. It was a fantastic view. You can search for shells and little crabs right down the hill and the sound of the waves was wonderful. The staff was so nice, telling us places to go and eat.

Review 33：Location is great, but the WiFi doesn't work most of the time or is very slow. Walls are very thin so you think you neighbors are in your room. The place shows its age.

Review 34：The view from the room is spectacular! Staff is very friendly. Bed is comfortable and the location within the village is perfect.

Review 35：I went for my 30th birthday with my giant dog and 2 small children and the staff was AMAZING..... location is SO central and the cabins are so cute :) wills tay again for sure and reccomend!!

Review 36：-

Review 37：The location was fantastic. We had amazing views out to the water and there was lots of privacy. The owners are very helpful and were there if we needed them. I would stay here again.

Review 38：The ocean view, the friendly and accommodating staff; I booked only one night because I was travelling the next day/night and when I came back they were able to offer me the same rate and room, even though it was a busy family day weekend. The wifi was fast but kicked out sometimes, however it was fixed immediately after contacting front desk.

Review 39：There were a lot of stairs to get up to car. The wood was all wet that was supplied so we had to go buy wood from gas station to get it started but other then that nothing bad to say about this place. Try it out you won't be disappointed..

Review 40：We stayed in cabin #1 which is definitely better then #2 for view and sunshine. The view was amazing!!! Very clean practical cabins.

Review 41：The wifi. It's not just that it's slow or anything - honestly I couldn't even say even if it was because the coverage simply didn't get to the room.

Review 42：The hotel was exactly what we wanted: a simple inexpensive bedroom for us to spend the night in but on top of that it had an amazing-words-cannot-describe-omg-i-am-so-close-to-the-ocean-i-could-touch-it view from the room. Brilliant.

Review 43：The stairs may be a problem for those with mobility issues and parking is quite limited. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend Duffin cove cottages.

Review 44：Stayed in cottage A1. 47 steps down to the cottage but exactly as advertised. Very clean and well equipped accomodations. Loved the bbq and deck and view of the cove. Also a good location for walking into town for groceries or just a stroll to the shops or docks. Fell asleep to the crashing waves just below our deck

Review 45：No wi-fi available - poor excuse offered by management. Cable television very "snowy". Apartment we stayed in was below owner/manager and we were kept awake by constant noise from above.

Review 46：Close to centre of town. Pet friendly. Ocean view

Review 47：Our view of the water and trees were fantastic! We felt like it was our own place. It was very cozy and the lady that checked us in was very friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. I would definitely come back here.

Review 48：The lights along the walkway to the room in front of the ocean need to be replaced - we used a flashlight to go to and fro at night.

Review 49：We were able to change rooms from one with a view to one with a better view, at the same price. We lost the use of a kitchenette but this was not a great sacrifice. Looking out on the ocean was beautiful.

Review 50：Have to be very picky to find fault.

Review 51：Very comfortable stay in a great location. Good sized bedroom with storage space, well equipped kitchenette, lounge a good space for relaxation and a super balcony with views of the cove through the trees. Individual room heating meant it stayed cosy even when it was cold and damp outside. Would not hesitate to use again.

Review 52：Really no place to put dish rack so a bit awkward but doable

Review 53：Staff super friendly location is very quiet price for a family of 4 good our view was great

Review 54：Furniture dated (but comfortable) Walls thin - could hear next door snoring and sliding open doors during the night

Review 55：Views over the cove were stunning Private beach Easy walk into town

Review 56：A little musty and the appliances/furniture needs to be updated. Not dirty, just dated.

Review 57：Location can't be beat. Right at the end of mainstreet at the ocean. Great to wake up to the ocean view.

Review 58：Although we had no control over the weather (misty). It was still awesome.

Review 59：Honestly, everything was great. Tofino is a great little town on it's own, but when you add first class accommodations to the mix - the stay is just that much more pleasurable. We will return.

Review 60：The units overlooking the shore would benefit from a makeover: our bedroom had a nice verandah but the furniture and decoration were basic, there were no bedside lamps, the TV was old, and the bathroom fittings had seen better days.

Review 61：The location right on the coast among a stand of mature trees was terrific, the view from our room across the water beautiful. All this a mere 2-minute walk from the center of Tofino. We also appreciated that even though we were very late arrivals after a long drive, someone was waiting up for us.

Review 62：Booking.com said, "Deluxe Queen room" but Duffin Coverliterature said, "Rugged West-Coast Waterfront Cabins or Up-to-dateQuality Suites" I.E. ours wasn't an up to date quality version:crazed basin, zero hanging room & v little storage, datedfurnishings, dirty carpet (have photos of each). Felt sorry for manager,but owner urgently needs to spend money on maintenance/ replacement.Stayed in 7 hotels during our recent 3 week stay in British Columbia& Alberta & this provided by far the worst facilities.

Review 63：Excellent location close to ocean with rustic chairs on own terrace.

Review 64：Everything is very old and fallen out of time. You don't feel very comfortable. The mattress is okay, but the cabin has this old, used smell.

Review 65：The cabins have a wonderful view (especially no 106)

Review 66：It was very expensive and the room was cramped. The hotel calls itself a resort but is more of a motel on the beach.

Review 67：The staff were kind and helpful. The location was in the middle of a rainforest and right on the beach.

Review 68：parking availability is some concern; needs some construction upgrades; room space/layout was tight; no microwave;

Review 69：the view; the location beside the sea; accessibility to downtown; balcony; friendly staff;

Review 70：That we couldn't have stayed longer than the three nights!

Review 71：Very small room but well appointed and it met our needs. The ocean view was the cherry on top. After viewing other hotels nearby, we are pretty pleased with our choice. Host was kind and helpful. Staff refreshed the room daily. Perhaps next time we'll book the cottage.

Review 72：Ice for drinks only available from a small dorm type refer in the room.

Review 73：Lovely spots on the property to relax. Easy walk to town. (one block). Very "down home" atmosphere.

Review 74：Towels were not replenished for the second day nor were the coffee cups, etc. replaced but other than that we were very pleased.

Review 75：Quiet and amazing location

Review 76：At this price point I expect crisp white towels and linens, not tired brown ones. Also would expect used towels to be exchanged for fresh ones not left, even if there are more clean towels in the cabinet - which should have been pointed out.

Review 77：Wonderful to be right on the beach and yet in the heart of Tofino. Private and quiet.

Review 78：The location is amazing

Review 79：A little noise from the other suites

Review 80：Friendly check-in offered a free upgrade without asking
