The accomodations & facilities, along with the spa services, food & beverages were all very good. If you desired to have quality, quiet & relaxing getaway, then Tigh-Na-Mara Resort is the place to check-in. All around a very good experience.

We stayed 2 nights in a Jebediah room, 2nd floor. The room was small but ok for 2 people, as it had a big balcony. There was a tiny kitchen with a mini fridge and hot plate, which was good enough to make breakfast. The bed was way too soft for my liking, but the murphy bed was fine. The... More

The title pretty much says it all. After spending a week at the kingfisher I still had time to kill so booked 2 nights here. I don't know how many weddin parties were going on but that is all I heard and saw. The pool area echoed with yelling screaming and laughing when I was trying to relax before a... More

While you're entitled to your opinion I can't say I'm fond of the title you chose. Stealing is a very serious accusation which has the effect of discrediting our reputation even when it is not true. I am sorry you've misplaced your iPod charger and I hope it turns up in your luggage or down the side of your car... More

Thank you for all your kind words regarding your relaxing weekend. I'm pleased to report that just this week we've redone the pass-through shelving area of our Treetop Tapas Restaurant which has dramatically improved the service delivery once the food is prepared. We look forward to welcoming you back next time you're in Parksville, Jim More

We stayed one night in a spa bungalow last Sept. and really enjoyed our stay except for the cobwebs . I can understand being a log cabin, you could get cobwebs, but taking a broom or mop once in awhile would help. We filled out the questionnaire about our overall experience and stated about the cobwebs. We also did the... More

Stopped in here for a bit of quiet while planning for our daughter's wedding. Beautiful scenery and spectacular views from our balcony. It is a massive property with many places to take long walks on the beach or amongst the tall trees. What impressed us the most was the quiet and that we didn't see the usual people walking around...

My husband and I stayed 2 nights for a low-key, relaxing getaway before the baby is born. We stayed in a cabin rather than 1-bed ocean-view suite as we wanted to take advanced of the jacuzzi tub. It was a great idea - it was quiet, the tub fantastic, the king-size bed luxurious - everything we wanted! We spent a... More

Stayed for two nights in an ocean view room with our toddler, approx. $155 incl. tax. View was awesome and suite itself was spacious and comfortable, but a little outdated and rustic, which surprised us a little since we expected great things for the prices they charge! The lighting was also strange; not so cozy.The cabins looked like they would... More

Thank you Parachute77 for your review of our awesome view of the beach and spacious, comfortable suite. $129 for an Ocean View Suite in May is great value!
