The Beach Club is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy the views in a very welcoming and comfortable setting. The rooms are well appointed, some with kitchens and have everything you would need to relax and enjoy the visit and the views, never get tired of looking out the window! The staff at the resort are very friendly as well. I love the recycling program and the green initiatives for compost. The restaurant food is also delicious with an emphasis on local seafood presented beautifully. This is the perfect location to come alone, as a couple and with family and friends! Walk along the boardwalk, it’s a great walk asking the shore and past the park.

This has become our family’s favourite “camping spot” on Vancouver Island. The joke started after we bailed on an actual campsite in Parksville one summer and ended up here instead — probably the best camping decision we’ve ever made. We’ve stayed at The Beach Club Resort four times now and love everything about it. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are great, and there’s nothing quite like waking up and looking straight out at the ocean from bed. The living room has the same view, so the whole place feels bright and relaxing. We love the boardwalk right outside the hotel, and the giant playground next door is basically paradise for our four-year-old. The pool and hot tub are always a hit too. As someone who runs Vancouver Island Drones, I’ve flown in a lot of beautiful places, and Parksville is one of the most photogenic spots on the Island. This hotel is right in the middle of it. We’ll be back for Christmas — easily one of our favorite places to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at The Beach Club Resort. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our visit feel extra special. The restaurant was fantastic as well — great food and great service. Our room was exactly what we needed: quiet, comfortable, and with a beautiful ocean view. We loved relaxing on the deck and taking in the scenery. The location is perfect with direct access to the boardwalk, which is always such a lovely walk. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway in Parksville. We’ll definitely be back!

Our first stay at this hotel, also dome dining at their restaurant and both have been great! We checked in with a nice gentlemen and we asked if we can get a room at higher floor, end up getting a nice ocean view room..big bonus there! Room is quite clean with all amenities, in room organic coffee was a decent surprise. Bed is a bit too soft for me but my family love it lol Couldn’t hear much noise except ppl walking by, taking they are fully booked during new year. Front desk has been helpful with our various need thru the stay, overall a quite enjoyable experience.

Amazing experience here, well worth the price in my opinion. Staff were all GENUINELY kind helpful and nice, every front desk staff I spoke with were amazing and informative, our restaurant server was also extremely attentive and ensured our experience was phenomenal. The bed was extremely comfortable and ensured an amazing sleep, and room amenities were so good. Came here for a two day getaway and had the absolutely most relaxing time Would 100% recommend this place over the other places in Parksville

We really enjoyed our stay at the Beach Club Resort. We spent a couple nights to celebrate our anniversary and were very pleased with our time there. The room provided was spacious, clean and had a breath taking view of the ocean. There’s many restaurants around that are great as well as the restaurant in house (Pacific Prime Restaurant). All around we had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Beach Club Resort overall. The location is excellent, with Parksville right there and a lovely boardwalk that’s perfect for walks and relaxing by the ocean. The service staff truly stood out — everyone worked hard to make us feel welcome and comfortable, which we really appreciated. The rooms themselves were on the smaller side and not especially impressive, and while we were hoping for a water-facing room, some of the surrounding buildings blocked the view. The staff did move us to a slightly better room, which we appreciated, even though the location still felt a bit awkward. One of the biggest highlights is the restaurant — it’s excellent. We’ve gone back several times just to eat there without staying at the resort, and we’ll definitely continue to do so. Overall, a great spot for the location, service, and dining, with a few room-related improvements that could make it even better.
