Absolutely appalling. This resort is barely holding on. There is no food from 11 am till 5 pm so you have to leave the resort to eat. They cater to the boaters and islanders so the pools are filled with people from those groups hotel guests are very secondary. There is no pool maintenance so the pools are filthy and the grounds are treacherous. There is no AC in the rooms. And the best part the second last night I pulled back my sheets to find fresh blood on them, which is not acceptable, and of course there is no one there at that hour to help out so your screwed. The only good thing Will say is that the food is great when they manage to get your order correct, the hotel needs shut down. Seriously go somewhere else.

We rented the 3 bedroom villa, two 3 bedroom cottages and two king lodge rooms for 17 adults and 2 children. Some decor is a bit worn and there are some small quirks in the cottages and villa but the beds and linens are new and comfortable. The kitchens and bathrooms are spotless. The views are wonderful and the landscaping is lovely. We had breakfast in the Aurora and dinner in Syren's. The staff in both were efficient and very personable. We were all impressed with the food and the service (and keep in mind there were 19 of us all at once). We worked around the road closure and it was not an issue. I organized the successful two day family celebration with the help of Ilia (accommodation), Christine (Front Desk) and Chrystal (food service). Thank you. Many of us plan to return in the future. Highly recommend.

Great girls weekend! Relaxing, full kitchen & nice covered outdoor patio. Bonus to have your own private hot tub. Setting was beautiful & pickleball was a highlight!

I had seen a lot of mixed reviews of this property but it ended up being wonderful. The balcony and views from the Kings Suite are all amazing, the restaurant had great food and the flowers are grounds around the property were immaculate.
There was an issue with the pool and gym before we arrived but we were notified and it was resolved by the end of our first day there.
Would love to come back and visit again!

Nice, Pleasant Getaway for the Long Weekend
Poets Cove is a peaceful and relaxing retreat with beautiful scenic views of the cove—perfect for unwinding over a long weekend. One thing to keep in mind: if you’re arriving late (especially after 8:30 PM like we did due to a ferry delay from Victoria), be aware that there’s nothing nearby and the on-site restaurant closes early. Plan ahead for food or snacks if you’re arriving in the evening. Other than that, it’s a charming and tranquil spot to enjoy nature and disconnect.

We enjoyed our stay overall, but the property is definitely outdated and in need of some care. Several things were broken or not functioning properly—like the bathroom door lock, the pool gate, and the phones in the room. The in-room Wi-Fi didn’t work either, though we were able to connect to a neighbouring unit's network.
There were a few unpleasant surprises: after filling the bathtub, we noticed large chunks of what looked like skin floating in the water. When we did laundry, we found someone else’s shirt left behind in the machine.
We called the front desk to request extra blankets and a pillow for the pull-out couch. They didn’t have any extra pillows, but did bring a blanket and sheet. The next day we asked for more towels and were met with surprise, as if no one had ever made that request before. The staff said they would “do their best” and eventually brought some, mentioning that was all they had.
There were also no towels available at the pool area, despite signage saying otherwise—so definitely bring your own.
All in all we enjoyed ourselves….But if you have high expectations, this is probably not the resort for you.
