Alert Bay Lodge

Pros: The lodge itself is extraordinary. This is my 4th visit.

Cons: The breakfasts weren't good at all. For the price of a stay, one expects better meals.

Pros: I had a great stay here and the hosts Ian and Natasha made me feel at home from the very start. You cannot wish for a friendlier couple, they go above and beyond providing their guests with a personal experience (thanks for the mountain bike ride, Ian!).

Pros: We love Alert bay in September, and Alert bay lodge was wonderful ! Beautiful huge room, with an equally huge covered deck looking towards the water. Lovely breakfasts cooked by Ian and a roaring fire to sit beside, perfect!

Cons: Perfect, perfect, perfect!

It is a beautiful hotel. Rooms were comfortable. We loved the wood burning stove.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Ian our host is a great guy, friendly and made us feel at home.

Cons: I think that you should have a drip coffee maker in all the rooms. (A must have) A tv in all the rooms would be nice.

A comfortable place to stay in a charming seaside community with a significant Indigenous history.

Pros: The Alert Bay Lodge was charming, comfortable and hospitable. Very unique setting, with a warm welcome from the hosts. Good location, easy walk into \

Cons: I liked everything.

lovely stay in a very unique property

Pros: We loved our stay at the Alert Bay Lodge. It is very quaint and we loved that it was so different from the usual generic accommodation. Natasha and Ian, the hosts, are so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great and we had dinner one night which was also really good. We just felt so ‘at home’ and were sorry leave.

Pros: Excellent nutritional breakfast! Amazing view! Friendly and helpful staff. Cozy, interesting decor. Being so close to the shoreline and immersed in nature was special. I loved the main gathering room with all the different places to sit, read or play games. Hearing the eagles every day was a bonus. The whole place gave me a sense of relaxation which I haven’t felt for a long time.

Cons: Bed was soft and creaky. No hair dryer in room.

Highly recommend Alert Bay Lodge - Amazing location

Pros: We loved Alert Bay Lodge. It's rather quirky and clearly a labour of love for the owners Nina and Scott. There is an amazing communal space where you will find some really interesting objects and First Nations art. As well as comfy sofas and a lovely fire, tea and coffee is available. It is a wonderful open area to spend the evenings. From here you can access a veranda with incredible views over the water. The location is amazing, we saw orca in the water right outside the lodge! Nina and Scott are very friendly and engaging hosts. There was some healthy competition going on between them with their breakfasts. We had an early excursion on our first morning so Scott made us breakfast rolls to go, which were great. On our second morning we had pancakes made by Scott which were very nice but on our third morning we had pancakes made by Nina which were sublime (sorry Scott) We loved our stay here and would definitely return.

Cons: Nothing could have been better. Would definitely stay again

Pros: only one word: AMAZING. My family and I enjoyed the accommodation so much! Apart from the fact that the building itself (partly an old church, partly an old school) is incredibly beautiful and has been furnished and restored with great attention to detail, the hosts were super friendly and accommodating! We learned a lot about Alert Bay and even though the island is very small, you can still experience so much here. The islanders are also very friendly and always up for a good chat. Overall a great stay, we would have liked to stay a little longer to explore the neighboring islands from there. And of course it should be mentioned that we could even see whales from the beach!

Stunning, calm, we’ll be back!

Pros: Scott is an excellent host. The big room is amazing and we enjoyed all the facilities. The views from the deck are amazing! Beds are very comfy.
