It's a beautiful place to stay. The views are amazing. It is not super close to the main village area where the amenities of the island are but not a big deal. The bed was less than stellar. Not terrible, but have slept on way better at lower end chain type hotels. Would have been nice if Expedia had the info that during low/shoulder season only one restaurant is open....the lounge and second restaurant were closed. Still a lovely place to stay and more of the natural beautiful areas like beaches and view spots are on the south part of the island which is where the resort is

We had a great stay at Poets Cove on Pender Island. Everything was very clean, the amenities were excellent (hot tub, massage, etc.), and the views were absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect place to relax, escape city life, and enjoy nature. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was amazing, especially the seafood. You can tell they have an excellent chef. Highly recommended!

Beautiful resort. Room was cosy, clean with a beautiful view. There wasn’t a phone in the room We ate dinner in the Aurora restaurant and the food was awesome. Looking forward to using the pool and hot tub tomorrow morning before we leave Unfortunately the spa was fully booked on Sunday and not open on Monday so we couldn’t use the steam cave like we had hoped.
