The Grotto Spa, Treetop Tapas & Grill and cedars restaurant & lounge are very popular with resort guests and locals. Should you choose to dine with us or join us in the Grotto Spa for services, advanced reservations are strongly recommended. If you are staying at the resort on a package which includes spa or dining we recommend securing your dining times and spa services at the time of reservation or as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment.
We do have a campfire pit on the beach and fire pits are permitted when in a designated fire pit and when there are no fire ban restrictions as dictated by Ministry of Forests and BC Parks.
Firewood is delivered directly to our rustic cottages at no additional cost.
BBQ rentals are available for Spa Bungalow and Rustic Cottages only. The price of the BBQ kit is $21.95 and includes the BBQ, easy light briquettes, and BBQ tools, all delivered to the guest room. Extra briquettes are $16.95 and also delivered to the room. Please request at time of booking or call the front desk to request this service.
We do offer to guarantee an accessible ground level for accommodations as needed by guests with mobility restrictions. Although it does depend on the guests specific requirements, we do suggest the Spa Bungalow Studio as they are the most accessible for guests requiring a more spacious option for wheelchair access. We do not offer specifically designated rooms for those with special needs, however transfer benches can be requested and there are some rooms with grab bars and hand held shower heads. For all other items that may be required we can arrange for rentals through a local provider specializing in equipment for special needs. Please let the Front Desk know your requirements when booking.
At this time we do not offer room service but our cedars restaurant & lounge offers stone oven pizza and rotisserie chicken on their take out menu.

Generally the summer temperatures in Parksville are a very comfortable 20-24 degrees. All rooms have sliding doors with screens.

Tapas are a wide variety of delicious gourmet appetizers, sharing of small plates, in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold (such as mixed olives and local cheeses) or hot (seared tuna, lamb or prawns). The serving of tapas is designed to encourage conversation because people are not so focused upon eating an entire meal that is set before them.
As our Treetop Tapas & Grill is a unique dining experience to Canada, we do request guests wear their robe. Although it may seem like a different idea, we find guests not only feel more comfortable, but they also feel much more relaxed then normal.
Absolutely, we understand that with food allergies it is not something that can be helped, therefore, let your reservationist and server know in advance and we will make every effort to accommodate and or substitute if required.
The short answer for group bookings is the further in advance a group books the better options they will have for availability of their preferred meeting space. Guestrooms can also be booked as early as possible with the release date of any unreserved rooms 30 days prior to the event. A deposit is required when the contract is signed.

“Run of House” is a hospitality industry term we use when offering a discounted rate to a group. It means you have a guaranteed room but the specific room type is at the hotel’s discretion based on availability for the dates of your stay. If a specific room type is important to you, you may always guarantee that specific room type however, it will generally be at a higher rate than the discounted “ROH” rate offered to your group. We do take special requests into consideration when assigning “Run of House” reservations but please understand it is not always possible to meet every request therefore these requests are not guaranteed.
We have 11 conference rooms in our Conference Centre accommodating up to 250 guests in one meeting space.
