Lovely room ... Sadly our neighbours were cooking a twice set off the fire alarm at 10:30pm... They were also noisy... It would also be nice to have the option of tea in the room and milk.... The staff were helpful over this but shouldn't have to ask. Delicious supper was a bonus.

The rooms were poorly stocked and did not have air conditioners. They didn't even have ceiling fans. The only window was a small sliding door with no screen. It was sweltering. We had half a roll of toilet paper and only two coffee pods for a two person, two night stay. We were so hot and miserable the second night we left at 5am.

The rooms were a bit tired and having no AC in the rooms at all is dated. The island regularly hits ~30C in the summer these days and with the recent fires keeping any windows open was not an option. With some work could be quite nice.

This place has all you need, on top of being beautiful! On the contrary to other reviews, I think they communicate their facilities very clearly online. Service was also great from the front desk, to the restaurant, to the activity rentals. Pacific Shores has an absolutely beautiful sunset location too. The rooms are more on the dated side maybe but the theyre comfortable and efficient (we were in the suite so we loved the kitchen and washer/dryer!!). Our whale watching tour was also canceled due to winds so we were so thankful for the kayak rentals they do for free. We saw a couple of seals breaching out of the water and the view around the bay overall was so nice. Would love to visit again.

I found the bed awfully uncomfortable. I have some health challenges and the temperature outside was over 80 degrees each day with NO air conditioning! I couldn’t believe that an establishment of this caliber had no air conditioning. I found a beat up old fan in the closet I dragged out but it merely blew hot air around while I tossed and turned on the hardest mattress I think I’ve ever slept on. . I paid for 5 nights and stayed one. Never even asked for a refund because everything I read was no refunds!! I left and then paid for a room in a 3 star hotel where the bed was very comfortable and they had air conditioning! Although it doesn’t list air in their literature they really should make you aware of it prior to check in so you can cancel if need be. They were in a heat wave so they knew what the weather forecast was. I also paid for all 5 days and received 4 bottles of water. I couldn’t find any restaurants on site but there could have been. Didn’t see any signage of such. Just an all around bad experience at Pacific Shores in Nanaimo! Was hopeful that it would be a nice relaxing stay on the water but was none of that.

Great amenities, but a bit dated

The amenities are great, especially with a young child. The restaurant was great and so was the spa. The beach access is plenty. The rooms are a bit dated and there is no AC in the rooms. We went during high temperatures and really struggled with the heat in the rooms.

The waterfront walk is awesome, you can borrow kayaks and paddle boards to explore more of the bay. The room was not clean, the floors were dirty, the bathroom mirror still had toothpaste splatter from the last guests, and there were mildew stains in the bathroom grout. The mattress was ok, but the bed frame was wobbly and hanging on by a thread. There is also no soundproofing between units so you'll hear everyone walking and talking in the units around yours.

Upon check-in, the door to our room was physically open. We were missing several items in our 1 bedroom apartment: no sheets and blanket for the pull-out sofabed no sugar for coffee not enough towels no dishwasher tabs only 1 roll of toilet paper no salt and pepper no herbal tea not enough coffee pods In addition, one of our room keys did not work. There was also not enough soap to wash our hands for 3 days and the quality of the soap was horrible. Liquid hand soap should be supplied in both the bathroom and the kitchen. The property seemed nice but the lack of supplies and multiple trips to the front desk were disappointing to say the least.

The particular unit we stayed in was quite outdated, there were others which had been updated. It was relatively clean but some areas needed a bit more attention (the kitchen cupboards doors/handles were sticky, there was lots of long black hairs throughout the unit). It is a resort/hotel however they don’t provide any room cleaning during your stay. There was no paper towel, broom/Vacuum cleaning supplies in the unit to tidy up the kitchen or other areas during our stay (1 week), when we arrived one bathroom had no toilet paper, the other only had a quarter of a roll. I called upon checking in a realizing this and asked for more to be dropped off, after many hours it still had not arrived and I went and found someone who would get it for me. As they don’t do room cleanings, they said to call when garbage needed to be picked up and place it outside the door. We did this in the morning and by 8pm, it was still there. When we asked the front desk if we should take it back inside for the night so an animal doesn’t get into it, or was someone still coming the response was “do you mind just taking it down to the garbage yourself?”. The grounds were perfect for our family and our stay, the amenities were perfect. The use of paddle boards and kayaks without an additional cost was a nice feature. Overall we enjoyed our stay, however if I were to stay there again, I would possibly look at renting one of the privately rented units, not one through the hotel to ensure an updated unit.
