Very good

Pleasant relaxing stay at a...

Liked: Very friendly and accomodating staff. Excellent restaurant on site. Lovely heated pool and hot tub. Great amenities. Well stocked gym. Beautiful peaceful surroundings.
Disliked: Gym needs a deep clean and minor repair. Lots of dust and debris, machines needing a good clean. They need to post a sign to remind users to put their equipment away after use.

Very good

Wonderfully serene weekend getaway!

Liked: The staff (Christine, Sofia, Illia, Jill, Mikita) were exceptionally wonderful. They were all very helpful and friendly. I had accidentally forgotten to bring my swimsuit and Christine managed to find a spare swimsuit to lend to me. Had it not been for Christine, I would not have been able to fully enjoy my spa experience at Susurrus Spa (on site). Sofia was very helpful with any inquiries that I have. Illia tried his best to help me check in early, which is very much appreciated. Jill was a delight and made me feel great after my Healing from The Ocean spa treatment with her. Christine also really took care of me on my last day especially given the continued closure of the road leading to the property: again, truly appreciated. All the staff members also gave me recommendations on what to do around the island. My room was also very clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean. On site dining options were good. Moorings Market was good for breakfast/light lunch. Syren Bistro and Lounge exceeded expectations: food was very tasty and the seafood, very fresh. I went back a few times to Syren for the seafood spaghettini and the seafood chowder was the best I have ever had. Overall, the location and the serenity of the South Pender Island truly helped me recharge. I will definitely be back at Poets!On a separate note, I went without a car and having Cheryl (super punctual by the way) from Lightning Taxi drive me to and fro the ferry was a huge help!
Disliked: Maybe WiFi? Honestly though, it was not a main concern given the purpose of the trip to disconnect and recharge. Besides, given the location, it is totally understandable that WiFi connection can be a bit spotty. Aurora Restaurant was closed for the season, which is a bit unfortunate given its view and vibe. Although, the food and service at Syren totally make up for it.

Super relaxing & comfy!

Liked: It is a stunning spot! Our room was absolutely lovely with an incredible view.Restaurant was also very good!
Disliked: N/A

Pool was great and location...

Liked: The Room was great. Loved the balcony and view of the Harbor. The room and bathroom were very well outfitted and the bed was comfortable.
Disliked: The Restaurant. The food was very over priced and the quality was marginal.

We'll be back! It's inspiring-...

Liked: The staff was very kind, professional and welcoming. The rooms were lovely, and the view of the cove met expectations. The restaurant was lively, the waiter was super friendly and very good food. The little cafe down in the harbor was a highlight because of Marcella- she really made us feel at home. Her homemade chai, breakfast sandwiches and baked goods were fantastic!
Disliked: When we called in advance to ask about BC ferry information, getting advice on getting off the Island, we didn't get a call back. But the ferry ended up being no big deal, there were plenty of chances to take a ferry to your next destination.

Superb
