L	Linds B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A couple of years ago my family and I came here for a lovely and scenic vacation that we will never forget. We were planning to book again this fall. However, it looks as though the place has sold and is under new ownership. There were boxes and personal items on the grounds that were blocking the mini golf and other amenities. The new owners DO NOT appear to be locals and the place had a very sketchy vibe about it - which was super disappointing since it was such a beautiful place that was family owned by locals.
M	Misko Valent on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place, awesome atmosphere, amazing staff, and super tasty food. Major renovations since visit... very impressive.
A	Angela Meinzinger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The views are as described and quite stunning. Check-in was easy and the staff was nice. Unfortunately, the luxury described was severely hindered when there were loud drunken people stumbling around. Also, I would inquire first if there was an event, as one of the nights we were there there was a 20th high school reunion party that was incredibly loud. We were in the honeymoon suite and people stumbled up onto our private balcony at one point in the late evening. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR ACTUAL HONEYMOON. The Dock is in horrible shape with dangerous holes your whole foot can easily fall through.
J	Josh Romer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ACCOMMODATION! My wife and I recently spent 4 days at the resort staying in the Beach House and definitely worth the price! The setting was superb, perched on the rock at the oceans edge. Lots of space to relax inside and a huge deck to sit on outside. The management team is extremely helpful, friendly and professional. We highly recommended this resort and Quadra Island for a weekend (or longer!) escape!
M	Michael Leggett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love Gowland Harbour. We’ve always had such great experiences and memories here. We’ve had our rooms upgraded and super friendly staff.
M	Megan Miles on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worst customer service, the manager is very rude and her mood changes very quickly. I had booked online and gotten an email saying it was pending confirmation from the resort. Well our trip dates come, still haven't received confirmation, so we show up just incase, and we were a late check in due to my work schedule. No one would answer the phone , there were no late check in instructions anywhere so we actually ended up having to take the ferry back to Campbell River that night to find somewhere else to stay. The next day the manager called and we arranged for our stay that night and she was very nice and explained its a new system and that they were working out bugs. she apologized and was willing to give us a complimentary night, which unfortunately we couldn't stay as we had to work Monday. A few weeks after our stay she contacted me via email saying my card wouldn't work, when I asked for confirmation that I would only be charged one night , she got snooty with me saying well we are only charging you for one night considering you didn't give us notice to cancel. I was floored with her attitude. very up and down, Nice to me one minute , unprofessional the next, They are very hard to get ahold of and unreliable. I've read they are new owners so perhaps they are not cut out for the hotel business.
N	Nik Galego on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stayed in the honeymoon suite recently. The view was spectacular and it was nice to sit and watch the cormorants fight for fish with the seagulls. The suite was clean but I would not say that it was a gourmet kitchen with the tiny glass plates and only two non steak knives. The price for staying there near the end of November was reasonable. While I understand it's "island life", the non functioning TV was a bit frustrating to work out due to a lack of communication with management and in the end they blamed the cable company. There's a large private dock which I'm curious to know if guests can moor here. Watch your step as the dock needs some maintenance. I would absolutely not cook a steak or any other food on the BBQ here as the grill surface is flaking off and the BBQ does not appear to have been cleaned or serviced at all for a very long time. I opened it up, looked at the mess inside and put the scraper away. Other than some minor issues it's peaceful and a nice getaway from life.
L	Lisa L on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very poor service. There was no one working at this resort during our 2 night stay. No one even answered the "after hours" number to help us. The amenities advertised aren't being offered. The sauna doesn't work, there's no hot tub and the putting green doesn't contain any equipment. The restaurant is closed. Our suite was clean but many of the light fixtures were burnt out. To find the suite was quite an ordeal with the instructions left outside the reception building with our key. We arrived at night and had to rely on our phone flashlight to find the Cove house at the very end of a slippery wooden deck. We couldn't check out as there were no staff on a Monday at 11 am. Beautiful spot but go stay with some locals that care about their guests.
