It is a great resort with fabulous views from all the rooms, we stayed in the lighthouse second floor and had great views of the ocean and surfers. The rooms are nicely laid out with fireplace, little kitchen, and good sized bedroom. The kitchen comes with all the items you need. We only stayed 2 nights so we ate out... More

Four of us have just returned from a 3 night stay in one of the beachfront houses (formerly called luxury villas). It was paradise. Great service, fully stocked kitchen (even had a blender, garlic press, and corningware dishes), and spectacular view of Cox Bay from the living room and master bedroom. The house was so nice and luxurious we all... More

We have been going to Tofino about once a year for over 20 years and this was the best place that we have stayed in. The location is the best, all are suites and all have some degree of ocean view. Very quiet, great staff. The only complaint was that the appliances could use a bit of an update as... More

We will definately be back for their summer beach bbq's on Wed and Sat - also being catered by Tim May of the Red Can. More

This was our fifth time back to Pacific sands in the last 11 years, so obviously we enjoy the accomodation. Always clean and with pleasant, responsive service from everyone. The standard room hasn't changed much. Quite basic but has everything you need. The old pullout sofa was showing its years, hovever they put a new mattress in it and it... More

We also required a pet friendly resort and one that was accesible for my self, due to mobility issues. Pacific Sands Resort ticked all the boxes. Great private resort, beach was long sandy and easily reached, no... More

Stayed here the first weekend of May, 2012. This was the first time for my wife and the first time for me in 20 years. Yes, the resort has changed, but not much (excepting the new condos and 'luxury beach houses'). The property is nice and open and yes, right on Cox Bay - a definite plus. Upon checking in... More

Dear Freestylecruizer; Thank you for your recent response. We are constantly upgrading and adding to our amenities at the Resort and appreciate guest comments such as yours. Cox Bay is a public beach and there are bylaws in place for such things as beach fires, which are not allowed so we have our wonderful large covered and heated gazebo with... More

We stayed 2 years ago at Pacific Sands in the same villa and we're very happy that we did. Went with 2 other couples and the 3 bedroom/3 1/2 bath works so well. There is a bedroom on each level with their own ensuite bath. The main level bedroom/bath is a wheelchair accessible room, so is perfect for anyone with... More

We were able to take a two day weekend out from Vancouver and had gotten a deal with Travelzoo for two nights at Pacific Sands. Normally, we would not be able to afford it but for $109/night it was affordable! This was especially important considering the cost to get over on the ferry each way was $98! We stayed at... More
