We love staying at Pacific Sands Resort.. it is so layed back, peaceful, and a stunning ocean view! We stayed there about 18 years ago, and waited way to long to re-stay there.. we celebrated our 25the Wedding anniversary January/2012... and the resort was just as beautiful if not better! The beach walks, the trail walks to the big rocks... More

We visited Pacific Sands for the 4th time hoping for a BIG storm. We have been so lucky to have the best weather and even though we had bigger surf than we have had before we were told 'this doesn't classify as a storm!". We loved it anyhow! Everything. Walks on the beach, trails, trips to town, and planning our... More

It is one of our favourite places in the world. As far as this last trip and accommodation was concerned my wife said "perfect-perfect... More

We had a great room with hot tub, a gift basket with lovely wine and goodies, bath robes, rain coats etc.etc. They even provided an amazing storm, we were glued to the picture window of our suite for most of one day just watching the waves...

We arrived on a cloudy and windy afternoon, which in most situations isn't ideal. However Pacific Sands is unique in such a situation as we walked along the beach you can't help but be mesmerized by the nature surrounding you. Sat by the fire that night and fell asleep to waves crashing on shore. Woke up to the same beautiful... More

We stayed the 2 nights of Jan 14 - 16 in a Beachfront suite. Everything was fantastic: The location, suite, and staff. Regardless if you want to walk the beach (which is right out your door), or just sit inside with the fireplace and watch the waves, you won't be disappointed. Very dog friendly. They had dog treats and extra... More
