His property could be excellent except they opt to rent out the damaged cabins while other cabins sit empty. The window was broken the fridge didn’t work it wasn’t cold at all and there were huge ants that they knew about because there was ant traps at the doors.

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.

Disliked: Amenities
We enjoyed our stay overall, but the property is definitely outdated and in need of some care.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.

I absolutely love staying here for the peace and quiet but I do notice that the property is not well kept. The hot tub jets were not working, the cafe was closed. The hot tub and pool beside the water was closed. However the restaurant is amazing and has great staff! The front desk staff were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout my stay and don’t miss the spa!

The view from our room was beautiful. Food was delicious in the onsite restaurant, bed was comfortable too. They needed to have done some spring cleaning as there was moss & weeds growing on our patio. We were placed in the room right under the stairs to the restaurant and the backside of the elevator, not sure why when the place wasn’t at full capacity.
