Reviews for Pacific Sands Beach Resorts Ltd.
Review 1:Resort prices for motel 6 type accommodations. Definite price gouging! Poor value. Never again!
Review 2:Natural beauty of beach was the only thing going for this property!
Review 3:The only thing I didn't like was when we had to leave, you won't regret booking !
Review 4:The hotel was very clean and comfortable, the staff were very helpful and friendly too. The beach is literally footsteps away and provides a captivating view with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Pretty central location as well. This will be the place I stay when I go to Tofino!
Review 5:Our beach villa was fabulous! Plenty of space, so relaxing! Walks on beach, short drive to Tofino for restaurants, or could walk to next door Lodge for meals! Free board games, and staff make good coffee!
Review 6:No bar onsite but other than that there is nothing to dislike, it's brilliant
Review 7:The location, view from room, really friendly staff, free shuttle to Tofino, would definitely come back
Review 8:The furnishings were noticeably out of date and the wi-fi service was very poor (good strength but intermittent and undependable).
Review 9:Wonderful location, great staff, quiet and well maintained overall.
Review 10:house keeping could be better floors not vacuumed once on our 3 day visit. Not dusted well and sinks had water spots and looked wiped but not scrubbed.
Review 11:staff -free bike rentals -the surrounding area -room the view
Review 12:Wifi was inconsistent.
Review 13:Loved the view of the beach and ocean from the living room! Also the complimentary movies, popcorn & hot chocolate. Such a beautiful place!
Review 14:Pretty expensive, even during our stay in early April, and the room was still considered "on sale". Lodge building exterior looks a little worn out.
Review 15:Amazing location. Cozy king bed suite.
Review 16:Patio door didn't lock, dented fridge, (otherwise lovely kitchen)
Review 17:Beach House was spacious for 4 people and well equipped. Loved the location and the views. Master suite was outstanding!
Review 18:The price is way too high for having to listen to your neighbouring suites conversations. Walls and floors were not sound proofed in any way. Might as well have been spending my trip in their room.
Review 19:The location, building placements and views were spectacular.
Review 20:My daughters said the sofa bed was uncomfortable.
Review 21:The staff were very friendly and helpful. We checked in late but our information was set out with a map to our suite. The extra touches for the dog were wonderful. The suite was great with a fantastic view and such a lovely property. The DVDs and movies available were appreciated. We will return and recommend to all our friends.
Review 22:Unfortunately we had to relocate after the first night due to a flea infestation. And being told to wash your own dishes on holiday isn't cool either, a dishwasher would have helped a lot!
Review 23:Nice location on the bay.
Review 24:The location and grounds were great.The resort has well built and designed to handle as many people as you want to bring.Staff were perfect and we will be back next year.
Review 25:The bed was really hard, uncomfortable to sleep in.
Review 26:The accommodations were first rate. The view from our room was spectacular, kitchen facilities were more than adequate. Big comfy couch to sit on and watch the surf.We will be back for sure.
Review 27:Kitchen very small and lacked some basic items, ie. tin foil, baking sheet would have been nice to have. Plus another small table on other side of the loveseat for beverages.
Review 28:Location was stellar!
Review 29:Desk staff were not particularly helpful about arranging late checkout - especially when we had email confirmation. The room rate was excessive given the quality and amenities. No restaurant.
Review 30:The location is good, accommodation comfortable and well equipped.
Review 31:Having to leave after only 3 nights because our holiday is too short! A kitchen which only allows one person to work in there at a time so I had to sit with my feet up whilst my wife did all the cooking…
Review 32:A few yards from a beautiful beach. The sound of the sea. Great waves. Lying in bed and looking at the beach and sea. Driving via a place called Cathedral Grove, with its majestic Red Cedars.
Review 33:Wasn't notified that not all of the beach houses have equal views. We had our view of the open ocean blocked by a chunk of land, while others had wide open ocean.
Review 34:Probably the best place in Tofino. It was great.
Review 35:the location

Review 82:Great view of the ocean, front office staff were very friendly, room was immaculately clean, bed was very comfortable, and they have a private trail to a rocky point with great views of the surrounding bay and islets.
Review 83:There are not many places to buy food in Tofino, so make sure you bring lots of food with you from wherever you are coming from to store in your freezer or the fridge.
Review 84:The location right on the beach is amazing.
Review 85:The fridge in our room was rather loud,maybe it should be checked
Review 86:The view from our room was lovely,we enjoyed our short stay. The fact that the beach was right on our door was great.
Review 87:Beautiful location, our room was amazing and the staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. We extended our stay by 3 days in the Cox Bay Suite, and the staff really helped us out. :)
Review 88:The price was a lot for a young family for what you get The room was not to clean at all the was dust all along the fire place there was rust on the base board heaters , there was to sheets between a duve , all in all I was not happy with the room at all im glad I got it through a web page cause there is NO way I would pay 300-315 a night . I wish I new that it was all in one room . cause I would have liked a bedroom to put my three year old son I well my husband and I stayed up but we all had to go to bed at the same time
Review 89:I liked the beach and how close we were to tofino
Review 90:Construction equipment right outside our room starting up at 8am, having to request bedding for the sofa bed at 10pm, being told that we had been upgraded when clearly we had not, no pool or hot tub, 11am check out even though you can't check in until 4pm
Review 91:Beautiful location, comfortable bed, reasonably stocked decent room
Review 92:Kitchen chairs in 374 were not comfortable. We used the decorator pillows from the bed. Kitchen exhaust fan very noisy. Hair on tub mat, smudge on chrome and a lump of something in the tub. Also I wiped up something on the kitchen floor an it was not very clean. Front desk mantel (counter edge)worn and in need of refinishing. This is the first impression and very important.
Review 93:Walking to the point. BBQ pit for gatherings. List of items in the kitchen and pretty good quality too. Good staff... Green attitude. Other than kitchen chairs it was very comfortable.
Review 94:Nothing.
Review 95:Comfy bed. Friendly, helpful, efficient staff. Extensive movie library for rainy days. Great beach at your doorstep. Baby friendly carpet and furnishings in unit. Hassle free time away.
Review 96:Cleaning staff left room half finished one day.
Review 97:Fantastic front desk staff - very welcoming, full of good information about Tofino, best beaches, etc. Room was nicely laid out and appointed.
Review 98:A little on the pricy side. We found that the walls are made of paper... We could hear the people above us "getting it on", and while my fiancé and I were playing a simple, fairly quiet board game our second night there, someone who works there knocked on our door to say that someone had complained about us having a "party". It was weird that they didn't have a phone in the room, especially since there was little cell phone reception. Also the alarm clock woke us up in the middle of the night, and we had not set it. They have an awesome dvd collection, which is great, but ppv would have been nice. We also did not like that because we weren't in a private hot tub suite there was no where in Tofino where we could go for a dip or relax in a hot tub. It would have been nice for the hotel to leave even ONE hot tub open to the other guests... Regardless of all these small annoying things that happened to us, the staff was friendly (though when we tried to call from our cell phone once because we wante dto ask for something we got the voicemail), the view was amazing, and it was sooooooooo cozy and comfortable. We would DEFINITELY still stay again.
Review 99:Loved the amazing view, our bed was super comfy and cozy, and staff was super friendly. We loved the candles in the room, the fireplace, the deck, the rain coats and the large board game and movie selection at the reception. The hotel is right on the beach which made it all that better. Sooooooo beautiful!!
Review 100:For what we paid we were expecting a lot more. We had one bad experience with a certain staff member. Also not a major issue, but the internet service they offer is terrible, but they give you an option to pay more money for a decent internet feed. This irked us as we were already paying so much for the room.
Review 101:The location was excellent and we had a great view.
Review 102:the location of this hotel makes it a dream. Right out of our room we could see the beach only about 50 steps from our balcony. A surfers paradise. The beach is well used by others which as a new surfer gives me comfort. the boardwalk close by gives you multiple areas for sunset watching every night. this resort is fairly basic (no pools or hot tubs etc) however, we could have stayed there another week for sure. Highly recommend this hotel.
Review 103:Pull out bed was in deplorable condition. Broken springs; poor mattress. Unable to sleep comfortably. Should not be in use.
Review 104:courteous staff comfortable main bed location cleanliness fireplace
Review 105:We arrived by plane and the staff was very helpful in providing for shuttle service and also had some food items available, but wish we had known earlier about restaurants within walking distance as well as those that deliver. Maybe be provided a one page list upon check in.
Review 106:We loved the view, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, our room was comfortable and clean. Also really enjoyed the lodge - spent a very nice evening out by the fire getting to know lots of fun new people. Would visit again and would recommend.
Review 107:Location of our room. Views were minimal, room was dark, noise level from the road and other rooms were loud. If choosing to stay here again we would not choose the Lighthouse rooms at all.
Review 108:The location was excellent and access to the beach was great.
Review 109:That there was no restaurant but we would stay with you again despite that as a trip to Tofino is always part of our stay.
Review 110:The proximity to the beach/ocean was exactly what we wanted. The beds were comfortable and the sitting area perfect for reading and relaxing. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Review 111:I had stayed at Pacific Sands in 1995 and it has changed somewhat since then. Nevertheless, the hotel has a great location, right on a beautiful beach. Rooms are clean, if a little cramped in the studio apartment. However, if you're in Tofino, you're generally out exploring anyway.
Review 112:all good, except crab is much more expensive than expected. Pacific Sands is a dream.
Review 113:We were celebrating our 25th Wedding anniv. in our middle 70's. This was a bit more expensive than our fixed pensions would normally allow, but it was special. Unfortunately, my wife fell ill and was "down for the count" on the Sun. and Mon. of our stay. These were the days we had planned special meals in Tofino. Never happend. However your facilities are wonderful and the setting spectacular. Will try to save our money for a repeat in a year or two.
Review 114:Kitchen in our unit felt a little dated
Review 115:Great location with easy access to the beach and into town. Suite was spacious and comfortable with an excellent view of the ocean.
Review 116:Dull bathroom The bedside alarm clock that went off at midnight and would not turn off TV/DVD remotes - I am probably the only person in the world who cannot undrstand the things. Lightingwas too dim to read by
Review 117:Being able to see the sea Parking near the room Close to the beach Complete equipped kitchen Great coffee in the room - grounds and brewer. Fireplace Comfortable low key living room/bedroom
Review 118:Loved the view of the sea and the Aveda toiletries. The room was beautiful and very clean.
Review 119:Not a whole lot.
Review 120:-The View -The Vibe -The Beach
Review 121:Perfect location
