We stayed at the Cox Bay Beach Resort in late November and had one of the two-bedroom suites that we shared with another couple. Each suite had a full bathroom so we had no problems "sharing" the bathroom with the other couple. The suite came equipped with a full size fridge and stove, a dishwasher, dishes for six, some small appliances (like a kettle, blender, coffee maker) as well as a good selection of pots and pans. There was also a large washer/dryer which came in handy. The dining area had a table and chairs for four, and the living room had a nice couch, some chairs, a gas fireplace and a flat screen TV. There was also a good sized covered deck with a table and chairs accessible from the living room.

The suite was very clean and well decorated, and did not have any of the worn or dated furniture mentioned by an earlier reviewer. The bed was very comfortable and had nice fresh white sheets and a duvet. The bathroom had lots of towels, shampoo, soap, conditioner, a hair dryer, and robes. We found the rooms to be quite dark, especially the bathroom which really needs extra lighting above the mirror. Forget about doing any reading at night in the bedroom or the living room unless you bring your own light.

Common areas included a sauna, gym, hot tub, and a lounge which has a few books and magazines as well as a wood burning fireplace, a kitchen and two BBQs right outside the door.

Cox Bay Resort is right on a good beach for walking although Chesterman Beach (next beach to the north) is much longer if you want some additional exercise. The resort does not have any dining facilties but it is located right next door to Long Beach Lodge where you can easily get meals (although not cheaply). Tofino is about a 10 minute drive, and there is a good selection of eating establishments with differing price ranges.

Finally, there is lots of secure parking seperated from the main road by a coded gate. Front desk staff were very friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

With regard to comments by some other reviewers, we did not experience any noise problems but we were on the second floor well away from the stairs. I can see that noise could become a problem if you are situated in a lower unit near the stairs. I do agree that the cleaning service was late in the day (probably around 4pm). Also the price is not cheap but we were lucky enough to get a good deal on Travel Zoo. The resort web site also has different deals so watch for those if you want to lower the cost of you stay.

I had the pleasure of staying here and vwas very impressed. The loft suites are amazing as a bank of motorized blinds open up to a spectacular view of the ocean and wind swept coastal trees.
The kitchen was superbly equipped, complete with nice cutlery, blender, juicer, and a vast array of pots, and pans to make any meal.
The linnens are beautiful, the bed like sleeping in a cloud, and I took the pullows apart to find the brand as they were so wonderful.
The staff at the desk were helpful and effecient .
I highly recommend this resort!

Got this via Travel Zoo getaway deal, and am so glad I jumped at the offer. This is a great place to stay, you may not have a full view of beach however, it's still a view... rooms were fabulous and beds really nice and comfy. Stairs were a bit of a workout to bring everything up, once in though...forgot all about it... didn't realize they had a infra red sauna and will keep note of that for the next time...would I stay here again... absolutely!!!

Two couples stayed here for one night for a quick Thanksgiving getaway. The weather was so warm and beautiful for October. Lots of surfers and people just enjoying the extended summer weather. Room had a great balcony and view of the ocean. Short walk to enjoy the beach, we went down for three walks in one day. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset and also enjoyed the beach in the dark. Went into Tofino and bought some lovely groceries and made a beautiful meal on the barbeques. Room is made for families. We had two couples so one couple got the huge loft with ensuite and the other couple had small dark corner bedroom, no ensuite but this was no problem. Toiletries were great, bought some shampoo and conditioner on the way out. Love the robes, would have liked to have one of those as well. One of the most beautiful beach destinations in the world, enjoy.
