I chose this hotel over the many cheaper options in Duncan as I wanted a treat. I was not disappointed. It was so nice to come in to a quiet room and nice view. Check in was smooth on our later arrival on May 17. However, the girl that checked us in was having a fairly loud personal conversation on... More

I had read some of the Tripadvisor comments and was worried but as I was booked in for a night by the folk I was working with I decided to take a risk and stay there for the other night rather than change hotels - What a great surprise - the room was fabulous - I could watch the birds... More

Hotel staff were gracious and welcoming. Rooms were great, deluxe. Good a la carte restaurant. Rooms had tile and wood floors and all had views of the marina at Cowichan Bay. Enjoy our stay and suite was well worth it, with a pull out queen bed in the living room. Restaurant staff were amazing and were informed about the best... More

I have read the reviews since the start of 2013 and presume everyone else stayed on a weekend. We stayed Sunday and Monday nights and were most surprised to find out there would be no breakfast available on either morning. As we reviewed the hotel on the web prior to booking, it gives the impression the restaurant will be serving... More

This was my 2nd stay at the Oceanfront suites in just over a year and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. My first contact was by phone with Maddy and when someone tells you first impressions are everything, listen to them. Her friendliness was exceptional. She answered all of my questions with a smile in her voice. The room was... More

We stayed at the Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay recently for a wedding in the area. The building was a bit older, but we were warmly welcomed upon our arrival. Our room was clean and spacious. We had an excellent view of the harbour (if you looked over the roof of the building that partially blocked our view). Our room... More

After reading all the (mostly positive) reviews I had to take a second look to make sure it was the same hotel we stayed in, because our stay was far from positive. It's an older hotel with a beautiful view, yet clean which is more important I think, but here ends the positive notes…. The service we experienced was one... More
