We stayed in a mini suite with an ocean view and jetted tub. The room was great, the shower was on the small side...but Jacuzzi made up for it! We did the Dip and Dine at the spa and it was well worth it, the food was amazing!! We stayed the first night in a room with a fabulous view.... More

Just recently spent the last week end at this resort. Although I grew up on Vancouver Island and have since moved away, I have never had the opportunity to stay at this establishement. My wife and I decided to try and were so happy we did. There are cabins or regular hotel syle rooms to choose from of which we... More

I booked A night at Tigh Na Mara to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We were in an oceanfront room with jetted tub. Beautiful views, quick, friendly check in. Great! The room was clean. The shower was tiny. I think the shower in my motor home is about the same size. I guess the jetted tub rooms need to sacrifice... More

My boyfriend took me here for a one night getaway. While the scenery and cabin was great, the service didn't meet our expectations of a supposedly upscale resort and spa. The grotto was nice, but I could never justify paying $40 for access. It came with our spa treatments. Originally I requested an RMT but was told one was not... More

The resort has a "rustic" theme and the suites are quite pleasant (if dark) due to the Log Cabin styling. I know that this will be appealing to some but.........We like sunlight and open space. Staff were friendly and helpful and Sunday dinner was very good........the highlight was well priced wine.

My fiancé and I booked a weekend get away at the Tigh-na-Mara, and heard many great reviews from friends and clients. Our experience at the Grotto Spa was less than stellar. For a birthday present, I thought that a spa package would be a nice experience for my fiancé. We arrived at the spa 15-20 minutes early for our appointment... More

We booked a spot in the spring hoping their 'Spring Saver' package for 139/night would be a great short-term getaway for a few nights, and leave some room for some spa services in the budget as well. Instead, what we found was a 1/2 km walk to the pool, which there is only one, and it's 4 feet deep. Staff... More

Thank you jtev for posting your opinion of our resort after your recent stay. I will take this opportunity to correct a few statements that are not accurate. Our Spring Saver Special offers a very attractive rate, $139 as you stated, but also includes a $25 resort credit so the room rate is actualy $114 - very good value for... More

We have been going to Tigh Na Mara for many years. This is a great location, right on Rathtrevor beach, just a short walk along the beach to Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. We usually get a 2 bedroom cabin, which is great for our us and our two boys. The second bedroom has twin beds, and if needed there is... More

I recently got married at Tigh-Na-Mara on the Easter Long weekend and I have to say that that everything was absolutely perfect.

On Spring Break, my fiance and I went back to Tigh na Mara for the second time. We stayed in the Jedediah cottages. The room was very comfortable..the only complaint I had was there were no comfy chairs to relax in at the end of the evening! Part of the package included access to the mineral pool, we loved it!...
