Reviews for Buena Vista by the Sea

Review 1：Parking can be a little difficult.

Review 2：Once in the room, everything was smart and clean, and the views are tremendous - can be outside for hours watching nature!

Review 3：Our room was listed as 2 Bdrm suite. While there were 2 beds it needs to listed as a one bedroom suite. The second 'bedroom' was a bed in the main living space. Also the beach is incredibly rocky so that water shoes were required. It would Abe been good to know that in advance

Review 4：Excellent location, charming backyard, fantastic decks

Review 5：The location is fabulous. A beach, patio, beautiful gardens, and being on the ocean. Qualicum is a small town with lots to explore and we were lucky enough to see their annual fair. We will be back!

Review 6：We were initially disappointed to realise that it was a motel quite close to the road - but the accommodation was excellent and very good value for money.

Review 7：Very helpful and friendly staff who ensured an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was well-equipped and spotless. Lovely views over the bay.

Review 8：The only negative is perhaps the fact that the place is build on the roadside. So you have some traffic noises.

Review 9：I really liked the friendly welcome by the host. She showed us around the premises. The view is just great and you can just walk out on a pebble beach

Review 10：The bed was a bit uncomfortable

Review 11：We loved the location, the staff and the cozy, personal touch you don't get from large chain hotels. We've stayed here a few times and will keep coming back. Recommended!

Review 12：The shower head mount was broken. The manager was very attentive so I would expect the problem was fixed in short order.

Review 13：Clean and spacious with comfortable furniture and a good view and access to the beach.

Review 14：We had a spider on the ceiling, which was removed by the caretaker with a broom. The window next to the sliding glass door had a spider web that had over ten fruit flies as well as many flying around the room. We went into town and bought a fly swatter. To get most of the fruit flies out… we opened the sliding door to the deck and the front door and used a large towel to create an air current to push them out. Liens were thin and worn. The pillows need to be replaced and more care in the housekeeping. It was advertised as a luxury suite but was furnished with Walmart findings. The television was on a small cabinet. It would be best mounted on the wall so it would be out of the way when you get up at night to go to the bathroom. To make it easier to watch TV… I suggest that all channels that do not come in, to be blocked so you are not surfing looking at channels they do not get. It was expensive for what we got. We got a candy on our pillow for making the bed. Hopefully showing them a more modern way to make the bed instead of pulling the covers up and over the pillows like grandma did. No alarm clock. I think if the bugs were not there… we would of started off with a good note.

Review 15：The view was great. Staying in the corner suite enabled us to sit on the deck without looking at people that were behind us. There is easy access to the beach. Good for a morning walk. Bring boots so your sneakers don't get wet, and a bag to collect shells. The caretakers were friendly and helped out in any way. They have cards in the room with information, etc Wifi password, check out time, and a number if you need help. The tub was very deep.. good for a soak.

Review 16：Hmmmm..........??.................................................................................... Nothing that I can think of..................

Review 17：The closeness and access to the beach of course, friendly and sincere owner, the view,walking distance to restaurants cold beer store and little pub style restaurant also great walking trails up into town. There were many trails to choose from.

Review 18：The busy road was noisy at times but not enough to make me not want to stay here again.

Review 19：Flowers, gardens and birds in abundance. Perfect views of the water and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Warm and friendly hosts made it a memorable stay.

Review 20：If you are looking for a quiet, romantic get away this is the place. Located right on the beach you have spectacular ocean views and views of the beautifully manicured flower gardens. This adult only motel is so quiet and relaxing. The rooms are spotless and everyone overlooks the ocean. The owners are very accommodating and friendly.

Review 24：Kitchen was cramped although apart from no dishwasher, everything was aAt hand. An open hanging space rather than a closet was provided

Review 25：Although right on the Oceanside highway,we were not disturbed by traffic but slept soundly in the comfortable queen bed. Nothing but view of the sea from patio. Bathroom plumbing worked excellently. Good storage for cases or sports equipment. Would certainly go again.

Review 26：Located right on the beach, this delightful motel offers fabulous views, a central location, and a convenient kitchenette in our suite.

Review 53：Fantastic location, lovely big room with large balcony, friendly and helpful staff. Stay in the Georgia Suite - well worth the extra.

Review 54：Owners live on site: excellent to work with. Private terrace with views to the Strait of Georgia. Convenient kitchen facilities, including REAL coffee !

Review 55：The nearby highway,particularly with all the bikers doing their non-stop pub hops. But the layout of the accommodation helped minimize this inconvenience.

Review 56：The caretakers were excellent, ready to look after our every need. Beautiful location. Nice property.

Review 57：The building was on a pretty busy road, and the upstairs rooms were noisy. Also, the outside of the building looked rather run down - hopefully it will be getting a new coat of paint soon.

Review 58：I took a room on the lower level, and it was very quiet. Inside the rooms looked freshly spruced up and contained everything anyone could need. The outside facilities on the beach, sunning area with loungers, and BBQ area looked great. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough for me to really appreciate them. The views were spectacular!

Review 59：It was perfect for us.

Review 60：Buena Vista is right on the ocean along the Old Island Highway. we thought it might be noisy at night, but it was very quiet. We had a full kitchen, and a balcony off of our room, which faced the ocean. We would stay here again.

Review 61：The location is great ! Walking distance to some restaurant ! The room was great and lot of space ! Very confortable and clean ! The wiew on the beach absolutely wonderful ! Bird everywhere for the spooning hearing season ! Superbe stay ! Thank you

Review 62：advertised as "luxury", but missing the sort of things that word brings to mind, ie hot-tub, robes, fancy soap and shampoo, etc. It was however very fine beachfront lodging and the room was very clean, well appointed and comfortable.
