"Our second stay at the Bayside in as many years. We were very pleased to see the Hotel has invested in itself with the addition of a beautiful private pool and a new deck area off the restaurant. Both holding spectacular views of the bay. Well done Bayside! We look forward to another relaxing visit."

"Amazing place to travel with kids!! We will be back for sure. Our 3 children, aged 2-6, had an absolute blast. Pool and water slides were outstanding, as well as the big lawn in between all the cabins. Lots of other great families around too. Loved the fire pits and playground and ice cream store! 10s across the board!!"

"The staff are friendly and helpful, but the property is old and not the cleanest. The coffee machine in the shared lounge area was a lifesaver, as was the water machine with both hot and cold water. The microwave in our room was broken and unusable, the showerhead was leaking, and the walls are thin and we could hear everyone and everything around our room and in the hallways. However, the location was convenient, our room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, and we loved having free access to Paradise Mini Golf across the street with our booking reservation with Coast."

"Our 2 night stay at the Courtenay Coast Hotel was great. First, my wife requested the 2nd floor and they accommodated the request. The room had a comfortable King Bed, modern shower and was new and comfortable. The hotel had a partially heated pool we used one evening and hotel was just a few minutes away from the theatre, so we saw a movie one night. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, my wife and I very happy with our room and the hotel. I highly recommend staying here. David C."
